Abstract
A new rhodium(I) catalyst allows practical and efficient alkyne carbothiolation reactions to be achieved on synthetically useful ketone-bearing aryl methyl sulfides. The carbothiolation adducts, featuring a 'recycled methyl sulfide' activating group, are convenient precursors to highly substituted isoquinolines.
