Abstract
Lanthanum oxide/TMEDA-catalyzed cross-coupling of vinyl halides with thiols/diphenyl diselenide in anhydrous DMSO and KOH is reported. Utilizing this protocol various vinyl sulfides and selenides were synthesized in excellent yields with retention of the stereochemistry. The catalyst was recyclable.
