Triphenylphosphine Decomposition of Sulfenyl Thiocarbonates
Harpp, David N.,Granata, Alessandro
, p. 271 - 273 (2007/10/02)
Several sulfenyl thiocarbonates (RSSCO2CH3) have been decomposed with triphenylphosphine.In the case of R = alkyl, desulfurization takes place to give the S-alkyl thiocarbonate while in the case of R = aryl, a phosphonium salt is likely formed which on chromatographic workup on silica gel is converted to a thiol and triphenylphosphine oxide and sulfide.A mechanistic interpretation is offered.
