Abstract

n‐Butanethiol is generated in situ by sequential addition of n‐butyllithium and water to elemental sulfur. The n‐butanethiol formed was reacted with electron‐deficient olefines to give Michael‐type addition products in good yields. The method avoids the manipulation of the bad‐smelling n‐butanethiol.
