N‑Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Sulfenylation of α,β-Unsaturated Aldehydes

An efficient N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed sulfenylation reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with N-(arylthio)­phthalimide has been developed. A wide variety of α-thioenals can be obtained with good to excellent yields and excellent Z-configuration.

本研究开发了一种高效的氮杂环卡宾（N-heterocyclic carbene, NHC）催化的α,β-不饱和醛与N-(芳硫基)邻苯二甲酰亚胺的硫代化反应。通过该方法可获得多种α-硫代烯醛类产物，其收率良好至优异，且均具有优异的Z构型。
