Abstract

A very simple procedure is described for the efficient synthesis of vinyl sulfides by hydrothiolation of terminal alkynes using 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylselenite,[bmim][SeO2 (OCH3)]. The reaction proceeds cleanly under mild, base-free conditions and was performed with aromatic and aliphatic thiols.
