Abstract

N-Alkynylthio phthalimides can be easily prepared in three steps from commercially available phthalimide and silver acetylides. N-Alkynylthio phthalimides are efficient electrophilic alkynylthiolating reagents that can react with various C-nucleophiles, including β-ketoesters, aryl boronic acids, and Grignard reagents to afford a diverse range of alkynyl thioethers under mild conditions.
