M. Chandrasekharam et al., REFORMATSKY REACTION ON THIOCARBONYL COMPOUNDS - NEW C-C BOND-FORMINGREACTION, Tetrahedron letters, 34(40), 1993, pp. 6439-6442
Reformatsky reagents are shown to undergo facile C-C bond formation on
trithiocarbonates, xanthates, thione and dithioesters through carboph
ilic addition yielding products formed by elimination of either sulphu
r or alkylthio group.
