Catalytic [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of sulfonium ylides derived from azoalkenes: non-carbenoid Doyle–Kirmse reaction

Abstract

The Sc(III)-catalyzed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of sulfonium ylides derived from azoalkenes has been established. Owing to the absence of a carbenoid intermediate, this protocol represents the first non-carbenoid variant of the Doyle–Kirmse reaction. Under mild conditions, a variety of tertiary thioethers have been readily prepared in good to excellent yields.
