Abstract

Sulfur-containing compounds are important in organic chemistry in both theoretical and physical applications. 1 In the case of sulfur-bearing carbanion derivatives, only the R- substituted intermediates have been widely used because of their stability and ready preparation by direct deprotonation. 2 Little chemistry has been reported for other sulfur- containing carbanions, due to their difficult synthesis and instability. 3 On the other hand, ...
