Abstract

1, 3-Dithiolanes are rapidly cleaved by nickel boride, generating corresponding hydrocarbons in excellent yields. The hydrogenolysis is rapid at room temperature and does not require protection from the atmosphere. Mild reaction conditions, simple workup, and good yields of pure products are some of the major advantages of the procedure.
