Abstract
A new kind of electrophilic alkynylthiolating reagent, called N-alkynylthio phthalimide, is designed and synthesized herein. This electrophilic sulfenylating reagent can be easily prepared in three steps from commercially available phthalimide and corresponding silver acetylide. Furthermore, the N-alkynylthio phthalimides are demonstrated to be efficient alkynylthio transfer 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.
