The reaction of a chloroacetylene with a thiolate salt in the presence of an amine mediator (dimethylamine or N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine) yields the alkynyl sulfides in excellent yields. The alkynyl chloride is easily prepared from the parent alkyne. date: 2015-06-07 date_type: published official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/c5ob00494b oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1039083 doi: 10.1039/c5ob00494b lyricists_name: Chowdhury, Roomi lyricists_name: Wilden, Jonathan lyricists_id: MBRCH29 lyricists_id: JWILD05 actors_name: Wilden, Jonathan actors_id: JWILD05 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry volume: 13 number: 21 pagerange: 5859-5861 event_location: England issn: 1477-0539 citation: Chowdhury, RM; Wilden, JD; (2015) An improved transition-metal-free synthesis of aryl alkynyl sulfides via substitution of a halide at an sp-centre.
