Chemical reactions involving high-pressure acetylene are not easily performed in a
standard laboratory setup. The risk of explosion and technical difficulties drastically
complicate the equipment and greatly increase the cost. In this study, we propose the
replacement of acetylene with calcium carbide, which was successfully utilized to synthesize
practically useful vinyl thioesters in accordance with a simple and environmentally benign
procedure. The reaction proceeded under mild conditions using a standard laboratory setup …
