Pt-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective thienylthiolation of alkynes
The Pt-catalyzed decarbonylative thienylthiolation of terminal alkynes by thienylthioesters took place regio- and stereoselectively under toluene reflux to give vinylsulfides with cis-thienyl group at beta-carbon in moderate to good yields.
