Abstract

A copper-catalyzed addition of halide and sulfide groups to internal alkynes was carried out using disulfides with n-Bu4NX (X = Br, I or Cl) in air. The present reaction can selectively prepare the corresponding anti-configured haloalkenyl sulfide, and uses both sulfide groups of the disulfide reagent.

Typical Procedure: To a mixture of CuI (1.9 mg, 0.01 mmol), bpy (1.6 mg, 0.01 mmol), diphenyl disulfide (21.8 mg, 0.1 mmol), and TBAB (70.9 mg, 0.22 mmol) in AcOH (0.3 mL) was added 4-octyne (22.0 mg, 0.2 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 100 °C for 18 h in air. After the residue was dissolved in Et2O, the solution was washed with H2O and sat. NaCl and dried over anhyd MgSO4. Chromatography on silica gel(hexane) gave (E)-4-bromo-5-phenylthiooctene (48.7 mg, 81%).
