N. Kano et al., FORMATION AND REACTIONS OF NOVEL ARYLSULFIDO-BRIDGED CYCLIC ORGANOLEAD COMPOUNDS, Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 125, 1997, pp. 517-520
Desulfurization of tetrathiaplumbolane 2 at 50 degrees C with three eq
uivalent of triphenylphosphine afforded stable aryl(arylthio)plumbylen
e and dithiadiplumbetane. The formation of these products is most like
ly interpreted in terms of generation of a novel arylsulfido bridged c
yclic organolead compounds.
