Substrate Scope^[a]

^[a]Reactions were performed on a 0.5 mmol scale. Reported yields are for isolated and purified material unless otherwise noted and represent the average of two experiments.

^[b]Bu₄N⁺ CF₃C(O)O^– used as the base.

^[c]GC yield is reported relative to an internal standard due to volatility.

^[d]2-methyl-2-oxazoline used as the base, and 4-trifluoromethylthiophenol used as the HAT co-catalyst.

^[e]1,2-Bis(4-methoxyphenyl)disulfide used as the HAT co-catalyst. See Supporting Information for details.
