slightly modified conditions. The C-S bond-forming reaction is reversible: A reaction of a thiol and a 1-alkylthio-1-alkyne in the presence of the rhodium catalyst gave a 1-alkyne; alkylthio exchange reaction proceeded between a 1-alkylthio-1-alkyne and a disulfide. This is an equilibrating oxidative reaction of organic molecules with C-H and S-S bond metathesis forming C-S and S-H bonds.

synthesis. Accessing more varied heterocycle-substitution patterns by maintaining the same reaction pathways across different alkynes remains a challenge. Here we show that Au(I) catalysis of isoxazole-based nitrenoids with alkynyl thioethers provides controlled access to (3 + 2) annulation by a regioselective addition β to the sulfenyl group. The reaction with isoxazole-containing nitrenoids delivers

regioselective, and convergent access to densely functionalized oxazoles is realized in a functional-group tolerant manner using alkynylthioethers. Sulfur-terminated alkynes provide access to reactivity previously requiring strong donor-substituted alkynes such as ynamides. Sulfur does not act in an analogous donor fashion in this gold-catalyzed reaction, thus leading to complementary regioselective outcomes
