Abstract

Abstract: The selectivity of sulfur removal in the desulfurization of trisulfides by tertiary phosphorus compounds has been investigated in detail. A mechanistic rationalization is proposed to account for central/terminal sulfur extrusion variation as a function of substrate structure and solvent polarity.
