SINGLE-STEP PREPARATION OF ALLYLIC SULFIDES HAVING 1-PHENYLTETRAZOLE-5-THIO GROUP FROM ALLYLIC ALCOHOLS USING S,S'-BIS(1-PHENYL-1H-TETRAZOL-5-YL) DITHIOCARBONATE AND REACTIONS INVOLVING THE ALLYLIC SULFIDES

The reaction of allylic alcohols and S,S'-bis(1-phenyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl) dithiocarbonate (1) gave allylic sulfides having 1-phenyltetrazole-5-thio group in a single step.Furthermore, these allylic sulfides could be applied to carbon-carbon bond and carbon-sulfur bond formations by using Grignard reagents or carbanions in the presence of catalytic amount of copper(I) bromide or palladium (0), respectively.
