Figure presented cis-1,2-Cyclohexanediol (L3) has been shown to be an efficient and versatile bidentate O-donor ligand that provides a highly active Cu-catalytic system. It was more effective than diols such as trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol or ethylene glycol. This commercially available cis-1,2-cyclohexanediol ligand facilitated the Cu-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkyl, aryl, or heterocyclic thiols with either alkyl, aryl, heterocyclic, or substituted vinyl halides. This new catalytic system promoted the mild and efficient stereo- and regiospecific synthesis of biologically important vinyl sulfides. The yields obtained using electron-rich substituted vinyl sulfides with this catalyst system are generally 75-98%. Most importantly, this singular catalyst system is extremely versatile and provides entry into a wide range of sulfides. This method is particularly noteworthy given its mild reaction conditions, simplicity, generality, and exceptional level of functional group tolerance.

An antimicrobial phenolic stilbene, (E)-3-hydroxy-5-methoxystilbene, 1 was recently isolated from the leaves of Comptonia peregrina (L.) Coulter and shown to possess inhibitory activity against several Gram-positive bacteria, including isolates of methici
