PREPARATION OF 1-ALKENYL PHENYL SULFIDES BY THE NICKEL(II)-COMPLEXES CATALYZED COUPLING REACTION OF 3-METHOXY-1-PHENYLTHIO-1-PROPENE WITH GRIGNARD REAGENTS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1984.1505

The reaction of on 3-methoxy-1-phenylthio-1-propene with aryl and primary alkyl Grignard reagents in the presence of nickel(II)-phosphine complex in benzene or toluene proceeded chemo- and regioselectively to give 1-alkenyl phenyl sulfides in high yields.
