Abstract

Abstract Treatment of 4, 5-diphenyl-3, 6-dihydro-1, 2-dithiin-1-oxide with coordinatively unsaturated transition metal complexes resulted in the production of S 2 O complexes and 2, 3-diphenylbutadien. A transition metal-assisted retro Diels-Alder mechanism has been proposed for this reaction. A series of IR and 1 H NMR experiments and MNDO calculations on 4, 5-diphenyl-3, 6-dihydro-1, 2-dithiin-1-oxide have been performed to gain additional ...
