title: Copper-catalyzed oxidative alkenylation of thioethers via Csp(3)-H functionalization.
abstract: A novel copper-catalyzed oxidative alkenylation of thioethers via Csp(3)-H functionalization to construct allylic thioethers is first demonstrated. Different 1,1-disubstituted olefins could cross-couple with thioethers to generate the corresponding alkenylation products in moderate to excellent yields. This reaction is supposed to proceed via a radical process.
