Ra. Aitken et al., Formation and structure of a novel zwitterionic phosphoniocyclopentenonidefrom Bu3P, DMAD and COS, EUR J ORG C, (1), 2001, pp. 35-37
Tributylphosphane, DMAD and carbonyl sulfide react in a 2:2:1 ratio to give
Bu3PS and the crystalline adduct 2 which is stabilised by extensive deloca
lisation; the sulfur analogue 5 has also been obtained.
