Allylic sulfides were synthesized from allylic alcohols 1 using S, S'-bis(1-phenyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl) dithiocarbonate (2) by means of a single-step reaction. The allylic sulfides were coupled with a Grignard reagent or carbanion in the presence of a catalytic amount of copper(I) bromide or palladium(0).
