Conclusions
-
1.
The reaction of 2-methyl-3-indolethiol with acetylene gives the S-mono- and N,S-divinyl derivatives.
-
2.
The reaction of 3-indolethiols with activated acetylenes occurs only on the sulfur atom. The reaction of 3-indolethiols with phenylacetylene takes place stereoselectively, giving the cis isomers, while the reaction with cyanoacetylenes mainly gives a mixture of Z- and E-isomers.
