Alkynyl vinyl sulfides are prepared in good yield by reaction of lithium acetylides with the unsaturated sulfenamides 4 which in turn are easily synthesized by addition of phthalimidosulfenyl chloride to alkynes. In all cases the reaction occurs without effecting the stereochemistry of the double bond.
