POTASSIUM TRIISOPROPYLSILANETHIOLATE: VINYL AND ARYL SULFIDES THROUGH Pd-CATALYZED CROSS COUPLING

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)76870-5

Vinyl and aryl halides are efficiently converted, under Pd catalysis, with KSTIPS (1) to the corresponding silyl sulfides (2, 3).The naphthyl derivative was easily hydrolyzed to the mercaptan 4, or alkylated or alkenylated to provide unsymmetrical sulfides (5, 6).
