Abstract

The reaction of 1-alkynyl sulfides and alkynyl sulfoxides with Et3Al in the presence of Cp2ZrCl2 as catalyst provides trisubstituted 1-alkenyl sulfides in good yields with high regio- and stereoselectivity. Depending on the equivalents of Et3Al, 1-alkynyl sulfoxides can also be reduced to 1-alkynyl sulfides.
