A comparison of the reactions of pentacarbonyliron with cyclic thioethers and related dialkyl sulfides

A facile synthesis of the compounds Fe(CO) 4(ER 2), where ER 2=SMe 2, SEt 2, or SeMe 2, has been developed. It involves treatment of Fe(CO) 5 with trimethylamine N-oxide and the Group 16 compound. With cyclic thioethers, the same synthetic procedure yields dinuclear bis-thiolato complexes of the typ...

Description
Summary:A facile synthesis of the compounds Fe(CO) 4(ER 2), where ER 2=SMe 2, SEt 2, or SeMe 2, has been developed. It involves treatment of Fe(CO) 5 with trimethylamine N-oxide and the Group 16 compound. With cyclic thioethers, the same synthetic procedure yields dinuclear bis-thiolato complexes of the type Fe 2(CO) 6{μ-SCH 2CH(R)S}, where R=H or Me. The structure of Fe 2(CO) 6{μ-SCH 2CH(Me)S} has been determined from X-ray diffraction data.
