Copper-Catalyzed Direct C(sp2)–H Sulfuration of Aryl Alkenes by Using Tetraalkylthiuram Disulfides for the Synthesis of Alkenyl Dithiocarbamates

Abstract

AbstractCopper-catalyzed direct C(sp2)–H sulfuration of aryl alkenes by using tetraalkylthiuram disulfides as sulfuration reagents has been developed. The reaction provides an efficient method for the synthesis of a variety of alkenyl dithiocarbamates, which are important structure motifs widely applied in materials, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals.
