The unusual Stevens type rearrangements of some dialkyl sulfides on a Rh–Rh bond
Abstract
The coordinative addition of dimethyl sulfide to (C5H5)2Rh2(µ-CO)(µ-CF3C2CF3) is followed by an intramolecular transformation to give (C5H5)2Rh2(µ-SCH2Me){µ-C(CF3)CH(CF3)}, and the corresponding reaction with Et2S gives a related complex with a chiral bridging sulfido group SCHMeEt.
