Abstract
The development of closed-loop recycling polymers that exhibit excellent performance is of great significance. Sulfur-rich polymers possessing excellent optical, thermal, and mechanical properties are promising candidates for chemical recycling but lack efficient synthetic strategies for achieving diverse structures. Herein, we report a universal synthetic strategy for producing polytrithiocarbonates, a class of sulfur-rich polymers, via the polycondensation of dithiols and dimethyl trithiocarbonate. This strategy has excellent compatibility with a wide range of monomers, including aliphatic, heteroatomic, and aromatic dithiols enabling the synthesis of polytrithiocarbonates with diverse structures. The present synthesis strategy offers a versatile platform for the construction of thermoplastics, elastomers, and vitrimers. Notably, these polytrithiocarbonates can be easily depolymerized via solvolysis into the corresponding monomers, which can be repolymerized to virgin polymers without changing the material properties.

Abstract
In this work, we present the CS2/KOH system as a practical and efficient reductive medium for obtaining (E)-alkenes from alkynes through a highly stereoselective semireduction reaction. This cost-effective system enabled successful semireduction reactions of diverse alkynes using water as a hydrogen source, yielding moderate to excellent yields. The versatility of this protocol is further demonstrated through the synthesis of relevant compounds such as pinosylvin and resveratrol precursors, along with the notable anticancer agent DMU-212. Furthermore, during the reaction scope investigation, we serendipitously disclosed that this reductive system was also able to promote a Zinin-type reaction to reduce nitroarenes into arylamines.
