C-S bond cleavages of other sulfides, thiols and dithioacetals

5 C-S bond cleavages of other sulfides, thiols and dithioacetals 

Activation of Substrates with Polar Single Bonds 

The same cluster also cleaves the C-S bond of thiiranes to give corresponding olehns with retention of conhguration [150] and cleaves the C=S double bond in thioisocyanates to give isocyanide [151]. 

Dithioacetals are recently employed as a carbene synton. Titanium carbenes prepared in situ by reduction of CP2T1CI2 with Mg in the presence of P(OEt)3 followed by addition of dithioacetals are effective reagents for olehnation of carbonyl compounds (Eq. 3.38) [152].
