Abstract
Coordination of Mn(CO)(3)(+) to the carbocyclic ring of benzothiophene s activates the C(aryl)-S bond to reductive cleavage, affording metall athiacycle 5. When the 7-R substituent in 5 is methyl or ethyl (but no t hydrogen), rapid C(vinyl)-S bond scission ensues to give isomer 6, w hich subsequently undergoes a metallathiacycle ring contraction to yie ld complex 7.
