Indium-catalyzed inter- and intramolecular dithianyl–alkyne metathesis reactions

Abstract

Herein, we reported an efficient indium catalyzed dithianyl–alkyne metathesis (DAM) reaction. This strategy allows for the formation of a new C–C double bond and valuable C–S bonds during the metathesis event, and was successfully applied to the synthesis of diverse vinyl dithianyl substituted organic molecules.
