Gandhi T, Nethaji M, Jagirdar BR: Utilization of CS2 as a source of C1 chemistry for the generation of methyldithioformate. Inorg Chem. 2003 Aug 11;42(16):4798-800.
Insertion of CS (2) into the Ru-H bond of cis-[(dppe)(2) Ru (H)(2)] takes place to afford the hydride dithioformate complex trans-[(dppe)(2) Ru (H)(SC (S) H)]. The hydride dithioformate complex reacts under very mild conditions with MeX (X = OTf, I) to give the hydride methyldithioformate derivative trans-[(dppe)(2) Ru (H)(SC (SMe) H)][X]. Three different pathways have been found to cleave off the ester moiety from the metal complex. A method to recover the ruthenium starting material upon elimination of the methyldithioformate is presented. This is a novel case of C (1) chemistry using carbon disulfide. |
