Synthesis of vinyl thioethers and bis-thioethenes from calcium carbide and disulfides
摘要:
Bis-thioethenes and vinyl thioethers were obtained from the reaction of disulfides and calcium carbide in good to high yields using a simple synthetic procedure and common laboratory setup. The tolerance of the reaction was investigated by the examples of aliphatic, aromatic, heteroaromatic and sesquiterpenic substrates.
Vinyl selenides and vinyl sulfides were prepared by hydrochalcogenation of alkynes with selenols and thiols generated in situ by the reduction of the corresponding diselenides and disulfides with elemental zinc in a biphasic acidic medium. The yields, stereoselectivity as well as the possibility of reusing the aqueous medium up to ten times are discussed.
