Abstract

Abstract 2-Mercapthoethanol undergoes carbonylation in pyridine solution in the presence of oxygen and of [Ni(CO) 3 Pyl as a catalyst to give cyclic O , S -ethylelnethiorcarbonate. The isolation of thiolatonickel compound [Ni(SCH 2 CH 2 OH) 2 ] by the oxidation of a solution containing [Ni(CO) 3 Py] and 2-mercaptoethanol, and its reaction with carbon monoxide to give the cyclic thiocarbonate and [Ni(CO) 3 Py] prove that the reaction proceeds in at least two steps.
