Abstract
A Rh-catalyzed reaction of β-tert-butylthio-substituted aldehydes and alkynes provides β′-thio-substituted-enones, that smoothly undergo in situ intramolecular S-conjugate addition to deliver a range of S-heterocycles in a one-pot process. Various in situ oxidations are also performed, allowing access to S,S-dioxide derivatives, as well as unsaturated variants.
