Four- and five-membered cobaltacycles by regioselective cyclometallation of benzyl sulfide derivatives via Co(v) intermediates

Dalton Trans. 2008 Oct 7:(37):4981-3. doi: 10.1039/b810272d. Epub 2008 Aug 11.

Abstract

C-H activation through the coordination of a benzyl sulfide anchoring group with a C-S bond cleavage at a Co(v) center constitutes a regiospecific access to four- and five-membered metallacycles under mild conditions.
