Rh(II) catalyzed efficient sigmatropic rearrangement reaction of pyridotriazoles and sulfides

Abstract

The [2,3]- and [1,2]-sigmatropic rearrangement reactions between pyridotriazoles and sulfides catalyzed by rhodium(II) were investigated. The utilization of pyridotriazoles as the carbene precursors in this kind of reaction efficiently constructed the C(sp³)-S and C(sp³)-Se bond with broad substrate scope and great functional group tolerance.
