Abstract

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. The ionic liquids act as solvent, base, and excellent promoter for the copper-catalyzed coupling reactions.
