cis-1,2-Cyclohexanediol is an efficient and versatile bidentate O-donor ligand that provides a highly active Cu-catalytic system for cross-coupling reactions of alkyl, aryl, or heterocyclic thiols with either alkyl, aryl, heterocyclic, or substituted vinyl halides. This new catalytic system promoted the mild and efficient stereo- and regiospecific synthesis of biologically important vinyl sulfides.

The coupling of vinyl bromides with thiols or diphenyl diselenide using copper(I) salts as catalysts in ionic liquids based on amino acids gives vinyl chalcogenides in good to excellent yields with retention of stereochemistry.

With CuI as the catalyst and K3PO4 • 3 H2O as the base, a highly efficient, ligand-free intramolecular S-vinylation of thiols with vinyl chlorides or bromides was successfully implemented. Moreover, competition experiments revealed that the 4-exo cyclization is fundamentally preferred over other modes (5-exo, 6-exo, and 6-endo) of cyclization.

Tp*Rh(PPh3)2 (Tp* = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) is a highly active catalyst for alkyne hydrothiolation with alkyl and aryl thiols. Hydrothiolation using alkyl thiols proceeds with excellent regioselectivity, providing convenient access to branched alkyl vinyl sulfides. A mixture of regioisomers is obtained when using aryl thiols.
