Sulfur ylides are potent reactive units which are utilized in synthetic chemistry for a variety of powerful carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond-forming reactions.[1] The classical preparation of ylides depend on the use of “sacrificial functionality”: a leaving group is displaced by a sulfide with subsequent regioselective deprotonation of the resulting sulfonium salt [Eq.(1)];[2] or a sulfide is treated with a metal carbene, which is formed by the decomposition of a diazo compound with loss of molecular nitrogen [Eq.(2)].[3] The synthetic efficiency of such processes is also adversely affected by the manipulations required to introduce the precursor moiety. Consequently, the appeal of ylide chemistry is diminished by the negative implications of these strategies on reagent usage, waste production, and functional group tolerance.The preparation of sulfur ylides by methods which do not depend on the use of sacrificial functionality are therefore potentially attractive.[4] To this end, we recently established a program to explore direct access to ylides from alkynes under noble-metal catalysis. In our initial study we reported the intermolecular coupling of propargylic carboxylates and
