Rl. Beddoes et al., SYNTHESIS AND X-RAY STRUCTURE DETERMINATION OF THE FIRST CHELATED PHENYLSULFINYL FISCHER CARBENE COMPLEX, Tetrahedron, 53(51), 1997, pp. 17297-17306
Chemoselective oxidation of the phenylthio-substituted Fischer carbene
complex (7) generates the corresponding sulfinyl complex (8) in high
yield, which upon mild thermolysis affords the chelated tetracarbonyl
complex (10). The structure of both (8) and (10) have been unambiguous
ly assigned by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. (C) 1997 Else
