Cu and Ag catalyzed oxidative arylthiation of terminal acetylenes.
A mild Cu or Ag catalyzed oxidative arylthiation of terminal acetylenes is introduced. The process, featuring metal catalyzed C-H bond activation as a key step, leads to the formation of highly substituted mercaptoacetylenes under unprecedented neutral conditions.
