Abstract
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.
