A variety of ynamides undergo highly regio- and stereoselective radical addition of arenethiols with the aid of triethylborane as a radical initiator. The products, N-[(Z)-2-arylsulfanyl-1-alkenyl]amides, can be reduced with triethylsilane in trifluoroacetic acid to yield N-[2-(arylsulfanyl)alkyl]amides.
