Abstract
An efficient copper-catalyzed sulfenylation and selenylation of 2,3-allenoic acids with disulfides or diselenides afford various 4-sulfenylated and 4-selenylated butenolides in good yields via tandem radical addition/intramolecular cyclization processes. Moreover, 4-sulfonylated butenolides could also be obtained by sulfenylation of 2,3-allenoic acids and subsequent oxidation.
