Alkynes as masked ylides: gold-catalysed intermolecular reactions of propargylic carboxylates with sulfides.
The in situ-generation of sulfur ylides by the gold-catalysed rearrangement of propargylic carboxylates in the presence of sulfides has resulted in highly efficient and novel transformations.
