Water-promoted regioselective hydrothiolation of alkynes
Bhadra, Sukalyan,Ranu, Brindaban C.
experimental part, p. 1605 - 1609 (2010/04/03)
Water promotes hydrothiolation of unactivated alkynes efficiently without any catalyst or additive. The reaction at room temperature furnishes vinyl sulfides with high regioselectivity via anti-Markovnikov addition. The terminal al- kynes provide dithiola
Asymmetric hydrogenation of alkyl(vinyl)thioethers: a promising approach to α-chiral thioethers

This paper describes the enantioselective hydrogenation of vinylthioethers. We show that thioether derivatives of maleic esters can be hydrogenated with full conversion and up to 60% ee, and that α-thioether cinnamic acids can be hydrogenated in 51% ee with modest conversion.
