All Baylis-Hillman acetates were prepared according to literature:

General Procedure for the Preparation of Sodium ( Z )-Allyl Thiosulfates.
In a 25-mL flask were added Na₂SSO₃·5H₂O (0.25 g, 1 mmol), Baylis-Hillman acetate 1 (1 mmol), and anhyd MeOH (15 mL). The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 4-8 h. Then, to the resultant mixture was added silica gel powder (2.0 g). After evaporation of the solvent, the silica gel-absorbed crude product was loaded to chromatography column for further purification using MeOH-EtOAc (1:1) as eluent.

According to the literature, in the ¹H NMR spectrum of a trisubstituted alkene the β-vinylic proton, cis and trans to the ester group are known to resonate at δ = 7.5 ppm and δ = 6.5 ppm, respectively, when alkene is substituted by an aryl group; while the same proton cis and trans to an ester group appears at δ = 6.8 ppm and δ = 5.7 ppm, respectively, when substituted by an alkyl one.

General Procedure for the One-Pot Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Diallylsulfides.
After the sodium (Z)-allyl thiosulfate was readily prepared under an inert atmosphere according to the procedure given in ref. 15, allyl bromide (3 mmol) and In (1.5 mmol) were added to the sodium (Z)-allyl thiosulfate solution, the resulting mixture was stirred at r.t. for 30 min. Then the mixture was stirred at 55 °C for 8-12 h. Upon completion, the reaction mixture was cooled down to r.t. and extracted with Et₂O (2 × 30 mL), washed with brine (15 mL), and dried over MgSO₄. After evaporation of solvent, the residue was purified by chromatography using cyclohexane-EtOAc (6:1) as eluent.
