Heteroatomic nucleophiles alkene precursors

Use of Alkenes as Precursors to 7T-Allylpalladium Derivatives in Allylic Substitution with O, N, and Other Heteroatom Nucleophiles... 

Because of the variety of phenyl sulfides, numerous precursors for organolithiums are available. Primary alkylphenyl sulfides are available from nucleophilic displacements of halides or addition of CgHjSH to terminal alkenes so that the sulfide hydrogen goes to the carbon with least hydrogens. Secondary and tertiary alkylphenyl sulfides are available from addition of CgHjSH to alkenes in the reverse manner . Alkoxyphenyl sulfides can be prepared also". Other heteroatom-substituted phenyl sulfides, including phenylthioacetals and ketene phenylthioacetals, are also available.
