During the course of study on the nucleophilic substitution reaction at an sp2 carbon in the Narasaka group, a unique four-membered ring formation was realized by intramolecular nucleophilic vinylic substitution of a thiolate moiety. To generalize this 2-alkylidenethietane formation and to get mo...
