Synthesis of cyclic sulfides by nickel complexes catalyzed electroreduction of unsaturated thioacetates and thiosulfonates

Functionalized cyclic sulfides with four to six membered rings were synthesized by ring closure of the labile thiols which were formed in situ by the nickel complex catalyzed electroreduction of the thioacetates and thiosulfonates having suitably placed electrophilic olefins or acetylenes. Nickel co...

Description
Summary:Functionalized cyclic sulfides with four to six membered rings were synthesized by ring closure of the labile thiols which were formed in situ by the nickel complex catalyzed electroreduction of the thioacetates and thiosulfonates having suitably placed electrophilic olefins or acetylenes. Nickel complexes catalyzed electroreduction of S-acetated and S-sulfonated unsaturated thiols leads to cyclic sufides with four to six membered rings.
