The elimination of arene- and alkanethiol from diaryl and dialkyl dithioacetals, in the presence of copper(I) or copper(II) salt plus tertiary amine, to produce the corresponding aryl and alkyl vinyl sulfides, respectively, has been studied.The employment of a combination of 2 mol equiv. of CuCl2 and 2 mol equiv. of N,N-diisopropylethylamine is most favorable.

A range of paramagnetic Cr(III) monohydrocarbyl complexes CpCr[(ArNCMe)2CH](R) (Ar = ortho-disubstituted aryl; R = primary alkyl, trimethylsilylmethyl, benzyl, phenyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl) were synthesized to investigate how varying the steric and electronic properties of the R group affected their propensity for Cr-R bond homolysis. Most complexes were prepared by salt metathesis of known CpCr[(ArNCMe)2CH](Cl) compounds in Et2O with commercial RMgCl solutions, although more sterically demanding combinations of Ar and R groups necessitated the use of halide-free MgR2 reagents and the Cr(III) tosylate or triflate derivatives. Alternative synthetic routes to Cr(III)-R species using the previously reported Cr(II) compounds CpCr[(ArNCMe)2CH] and sources of R? radicals (e.g., BEt3 and air) were also explored. The UV-vis spectra of the CpCr[(ArNCMe)2CH](R) complexes possessed two strong bands with maximum absorbances in the ranges 395-436 nm and 535-582 nm, with the band in the latter range being particularly characteristic of the Cr(III)-R compounds. The Cr-CH2R bond lengths as determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction were longer than those in the corresponding Cr-CH3 complexes, typically falling in the range 2.10 to 2.13 A. The Cr(III) benzyl compounds displayed longer Cr-CH2Ph distances, while the bond lengths for the alkenyl and alkynyl species were substantially shorter. The rate of Cr-R bond homolysis at room temperature was determined by monitoring the reaction of Cr(III) neopentyl, benzyl, and isobutyl complexes with excess PhSSPh using UV-vis spectroscopy. Although the other primary alkyl, phenyl, and alkenyl compounds did not undergo appreciable homolysis under these conditions, they were cleanly converted to CpCr[(ArNCMe)2CH](SPh) by photolysis.
First synthesis, X-ray structure analysis and reactions of alkenyltriphenylbismuthonium salts
Matano, Yoshihiro,Yoshimune, Masanori,Azuma, Nagao,Suzuki, Hitomi

Treatment of triphenylbismuth difluoride with alkenyltrimethylsilanes 1 or trimethylsilyl cyanidealkenyltrialkylstannanes 3 in the presence of boron trifluoride-diethyl ether gave the corresponding alkenyltriphenylbismuthonium tetrafluoroborates 2 in moderate to good yields. An X-ray crystallographic analysis of the salt 2e confirmed the distorted tetrahedral geometry of the central bismuth atom. When treated with a sulfinate 5 or the thiolate 11, the salts 2 readily transferred both the vinyl and phenyl moieties to these nucleophiles to afford the sulfones 7-10 or the sulfides 12, 13, respectively. In the presence of a palladium catalyst, the salt 2e underwent the Heck-type reaction with ethyl acrylate 17 to afford the dienoate 18 and cinnamate 19 in moderate yields. Action of KOBut on the salt 2b yielded p-tolylacetylene 22, while a similar reaction with the salt 2e in the presence of the styrenes 23 gave the cyclopropanes 24. A Hammett study of the latter reaction has suggested a possible involvement of an alkylidenecarbene as the intermediate in these base-promoted reactions.
