Abstract

Palladium thiolato complexes [(L) Pd (R)(SR')], within which L is a chelating ligand such as DPPE, DPPP, DPPBz, DPPF, or TRANSPHOS, R is a methyl, alkenyl, aryl, or alkynyl ligand, and R'is an aryl or alkyl group, were synthesized by substitution or proton-transfer reactions. All of these thiolato complexes were found to undergo carbon-sulfur bond-forming reductive elimination in high yields to form dialkyl sulfides, diaryl sulfides, alkyl aryl sulfides, alkyl ...
