Abstract

Abstract In the presence of catalytic amounts of RhH (PPh 3) 4, 1, 2-bis (diphenylphosphino) ethane (dppe), and dimethyl disulfide, cyclic and acyclic α-phenyl ketones reacted with p- cyano-α-methylthioa-cetophenone giving α-methylthio-α-phenylketones. The activated catalyst containing dimethyl disulfide was effective for the α-methylthiolation reaction of these less reactive substrates.© 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 22: 18–23 ...
