Abstract

A nickel(0) triethyl phosphite complex promotes the reaction of allylic acetates with thiols to produce allylic sulfides with retention of configuration without allylic rearrangement. A similar reaction of allylic acetates with alcohols and phenols also proceeds with retention of regio- and stereochemistry.
