We have designed a new sequential carbocupration and sulfur-lithium exchange that leads stereo- and regioselectively to trisubstituted alkenyllithiums. Subsequent trapping with various electrophiles yields tetrasubstituted olefins with good control of the double-bond geometry (E/Z ratio up to 99:1). The novel sulfur-lithium exchange could be extended to the stereoselective preparation of Z-styryl lithium derivatives with almost complete retention of the double-bond geometry.

Oxazoles are rapidly assembled through a sequential deprotonation-condensation of Asmic, anisylsulfanylmethylisocyanide, with esters followed by sulfanyl-lithium exchange-trapping. Deprotonating Asmic affords a metalated isocyanide that efficiently traps esters to afford oxazoles bearing a versatile C-4 anisylsulfanyl substituent. Interchange of the anisylsulfanyl substituent is readily achieved through a first-in-class sulfur-lithium exchange-electrophilic trapping sequence whose versatility is illustrated in the three-step synthesis of the bioactive natural product streptochlorin.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates a new phase of Na MoS as an electrode material for Na- and Li-ion batteries, highlighting its unique amorphous coordination polymer structure with mixed valences of molybdenum (Mo) and sulfur (S).
- The material shows a strong interaction between Mo and S during redox reactions, with no formation of unwanted byproducts like free sulfur or lithium sulfide, and behaves as a mixed ionic-electronic conductor with notable electronic conductivity.
- The Na MoS achieves a reversible capacity of up to 500 mAh/g, indicating its potential for high-performance energy storage and contributing valuable insights into sulfide materials with diverse redox properties for battery applications.

Multifunctional organic molecules can be accessed by reacting functionalised organolithium compounds (they can be prepared following a great number of different methodologies) with electrophilic reagents, this fact makes these intermediates of relevant interest in synthetic organic chemistry. Sulfur containing molecules have been used extensively as precursors of organolithium compounds by applying two different methodologies. One is the well-known alpha-deprotonation, which is not going to be the subject of this review, and the other methodology consists of sulfur lithium exchange by using lithium metal either alone or in the presence of a stoichiometric or catalytic amount of an arene.
