DTBB-catalysed lithiation of 1,2-bis(phenylsulfanyl)ethene: Does 1-lithio-2-phenylsulfanylethene really exist?

The reaction of (Z)- or (E)-1,2-bis(phenylsulfanyl)ethene (1) with an excess of lithium and a catalytic amount of 4,4′-di-tert-butylbiphenyl (DTBB, 2.5 mol%) in the presence of a carbonyl compound as electrophile (Barbier conditions) in THF at -78°C leads, after hydrolysis with water at temperatures ranging between -78°C and rt, to a mixture of the corresponding (Z/E)-unsaturated 1,4-diols 2, the diastereomers ratio being independent of the stereochemistry of the starting materials. Allylic alcohols 3 are the main by-products, resulting from a lithium-hydrogen exchange on some of the lithiated intermediates along the whole process. A mechanistic explanation for the observed behaviour is given.
Synthesis of Vinyl Selenides or Sulfides and Ketene Selenoacetals or Thioacetals by Nickel(II) Vinylation of Sodium Benzeneselenolate or Benzenethiolate
Cristau, H. J.,Chabaud, B.,Labaudiniere, R.,Christol, H.
, p. 875 - 878 (2007/10/02)
The substitution of bromine atom on a double bond by benzeneselenolate or benzenethiolate anions is catalyzed by the bis(pyridine)nickel bromide complex.Various alkenyl selenides or sulfides and seleno- or thio acetals are prepared in good to excellent yi
