A focus on double borane-catalysed sulfenylation of alkynes: two B’s or not two B’s?

Natalia A. F. Atherley, Andrew R. Jupp

This article highlights recent work by Melen, Baik and co-workers on the borane-catalysed synthesis of 5 and 6-membered sulfenylated heterocycles via a thiirenium ion intermediate, with a focus on the role of two Lewis acid catalysts in the key step.
