Abstract

Reaction of tributyltin hydride with a variety of organic sulfides gives results which depend on the structure of the starting material. Acyclic sulfides undergo desulfurization leading to hydrocarbons in varying yields. However, 2, 5-dihydrothiophenes give dienes and 3, 6- dihydro-2 H-thiopyrans are inert.
