Result and Discussion: We want to examine the oxidative cross-dehydrogenative Csp-S


coupling reaction between tirmethylsilyl acetylene and substituted thiophenols (1a to 4d) as a
pilot reaction in presence of CuO-NPs as a green catalyst and K2CO3 as base in a DMSO as a
solvent at 700C. The reaction took place efficiently to produce desired products (1a to 4d).In
a good yield (Table 1, entry1 to 4)

Initially we want to form acetylide in the reaction mixtures for that reason we follows
strategies, first we add TMS-acetylene, K2CO3, CuO-NPs and DMSO .latter thiophenols
was add after 1.5 hrs in the reaction mixtures. Based on this finding we optimized the
reaction conditions starting with green catalyst CuO-NPs.

Conclusion:

In summary, we analyzed that inexpensive, efficient and eco-friendly CuO-NPs catalyzes the
oxidative Csp-S cross-dehydrogenative coupling of terminal alkynes and thiophenols to
developed alkynyl sulfides. This is simple and straightforward as well as atom economic
strategies is widely applicable to wide range of alkynes and thiols and is compatible with a
variety of functional groups on the both alkynes and thiols partners. This strategy represents a
new methodology for highly selective synthesis of alkynyl sulfides
