A new selenium catalyzed synthesis of S-Alkyl carbonothioates from alcohols, carbon monoxide, sulfur and alkyl halides

Selenium showed excellent catalytic activity for carbonothiolation of alcohols with carbon monoxide and sulfur under mild conditions. S-Alkyl carbonothioates were synthesized in good yields from various alcohols, carbon monoxide, elemental sulfur, and alk

Triphenylphosphine Decomposition of Sulfenyl Thiocarbonates

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.
