Abstract

Treatment of the thiomethyl complexes [Fe(η-C5Me5)(CO)2(CH2SR)](R = Me or Ph) with [Ph3C]+ or [Fe(η-C5Me5)(CO)2(CH2)]+ results in S-alkylation, affording the sulphonium salts [Fe(η-C5Me5)(CO)2{CH2S(R)CPh3}]+ and [{Fe(η-C5Me5)(CO)2CH2}2SR}]+ respectively; the former show promise as agents for methylene transfer to alkenes.
