Abstract
Metal- and oxidant-free alkenyl C–H thiolation enabled by the azo group had been established for the modular synthesis of tetrasubstituted acyclic olefins. The reaction was performed under mild reaction conditions with a broad substrate scope. The intramolecular 6-membered hydrogen-bonding network accounts for the observed excellent stereo-control.
