Abstract

During the past decade, novel biological roles have been identified for metalloenzyme- induced transformations at the carbon-sulfur bond of biomolecules. Since metal-mediated rupture of a carbon-sulfur bond is a key step in a number of these processes, 1-3 new and synthetically useful transformations of organosulfur compounds mediated by metals might be discovered by following nature's example. 4 Consider, for example, the sulfonium salt. ...
