Synthesis of alkynyl sulfides
Recent Literature
Alkynylation of thiols using ethynyl benziodoxolone (EBX) hypervalent iodine
reagents enables the synthesis of aryl- and alkyl-substituted alkynes containing
a broad range of functional groups. New sulfur nucleophiles such as
thioglycosides, thioacids, and sodium hydrogen sulfide were also alkynylated
successfully to lead to a general and practical method for the synthesis of
thioalkynes.

A mild and odorless copper-catalyzed thiolation of terminal alkynes with
thiosulfonates provides convenient
access to a wide variety of alkynyl sulfides and sulfur-containing heterocycles
via a subsequent iodocyclization.

S-Alkyl, S-aryl, and S-vinyl thiosulfate sodium salts (Bunte salts), which
can readily be prepared from sodium thiosulfate, react with Grignard reagents to
give sulfides in good yields. The reaction is amenable to a broad structural
array of Bunte salts and Grignard reagents. Importantly, this route to sulfides
avoids the use of malodorous thiol starting materials or byproducts.

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.
