The electrophilic alkylthiolation of alkenes, initiated by dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium salts and the subsequent addition of various heteronucleophilies has been well-established. Regarding the use of carbon nucleophiles, however, only carefully designed sp-type carbon sources have been successfully applied. We herein present our findings on the methylthiolation of alkenes with dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate, followed by carbon-carbon bond formation in the presence of organozinc reagents, thus achieving a catalyst-free protocol toward to the carbosulfenylation of alkenes.

The reactions between triplet diphenylcarbene and fluorenylidene with a variety of sulfides and disulfides were investigated with use of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, laser flash photolysis, and product studies.Diphenylcarbene reacted with these substrates by a radical-like displacement mechanism.Rate constants were ca. 1E6 M-1 s-1, and the resulting thio-substituted diphenylmethyl radicals were identified by their EPR and optical spectra.By contrast, the analogous reactions of fluorenylidene had rate constants of 1E8-1E9 M-1 s-1 and proceeded by an ylide mechanism.Product studies were consistent with these results but were not sufficient in themselves to reveal these mechanistic differences.
