yield.
In summary, an interrupted Pummerer process, using a
readily available sulfoxide, activates styrenes under metal-free
conditions. The resulting bench stable alkenyl sulfonium salts
undergo Ni-catalysed Negishi cross-coupling with commercial
ligands and catalysts to give high value products. The versatile
sequence can be carried out in one-pot, embraces a range of
organozinc partners, and can form di-, tri-, and tetra-substituted
alkene products. Finally, interrupted Pummerer activation and
sulfonium salt formation can be extended to arenes and alkynes,
and in the later case, has been used to simultaneously trigger
cyclisation.
