A gold(I)-catalyzed enantioselective thioallylation of propiolates with allyl sulfides is described. The key mechanistic element is a sulfonium-induced Claisen rearrangement which helps minimize the allyl dissociation and render higher enantioselectivity. This protocol features remarkable scope of the allyl moiety, allowing enantiocontrolled synthesis of all-carbon quaternary centers, and exhibits exceptional functional group compatibility with many Lewis bases and π-bonds. This intermolecular variant of Claisen rearrangement forges both C-S and C-C bonds concomitantly, providing efficient access to interesting optically active organosulfur compounds which can be transformed further through the vinyl sulfide as a functional handle. The rate of the reaction was zeroth order with respect to allyl sulfides, which suggested a reversible inhibition, providing a resting state for the catalyst. The Hammett plot displayed a correlation with σp values, suggesting a turnover-limiting sigmatropic rearrangement where decreased electron-density on sulfur accelerated the rearrangement.

An efficient synthesis of β-alkoxycarbonyl vinylsulfonium salts had been developed. Their reaction with indene-1,3-diones and other active methylene compounds provided cyclopropane carboxylates in good yields. A tentative reaction mechanism was proposed.

β, β-Bis(alkylmercapto)propionates were obtained by the reaction of methyl propiolates with 2 equiv. of mercaptanes in the presence of tri-n-butylphosphine in high yield. The corresponding dithioacetals could be also obtained by the conjugate addition of mercaptanes toward methyl β-alkylmercaptoenoates, in which, tri-n-butylphosphine also catalyzed the addition of thiols.
