Ag-Catalyzed Thiocyanofunctionalization of Terminal Alkynes To Access Alkynylthiocyanates and alpha-Thiocyanoketones

摘要

Unprecedented one-pot thiocyanofunctionalizations of terminal alkynes to deliver alkynylthiocyanates and alpha-thiocyanoketones using a silver-catalyzed procedure or under silver/gold relay catalysis is reported. These synthetically valuable organothiocyanates are accessed in high efficiency, and their derivatization into a variety of valuable sulfur-containing heterocycles and sulfides has also been demonstrated.
