title: Catalytic C-H and C-S bond activation of thiophenes.
abstract: A new Pd-catalyzed reaction of thiophenes with alkynes via C-H and C-S bond activation has been developed. This provides a new approach to prepare sulfur-containing compounds. An interesting salt effect was observed, and the reaction's efficiency and selectivity depend not only on the type but also on the amount of the salt used.
