Virtually all organosulfur compounds react with Fe (0) carbonyls to give the title complexes.
These reactions are reviewed in light of major advances over the past few decades, spurred …

Ketene dithioacetals are versatile intermediates in organic synthesis. Extensive research,
since the last decade, has given rise to new prospects in their chemistry. The objective of …

Abstract When Ziegler and Korav serendipitously prepared [Fe 2 (CO) 6 (μ-pdt)] in 1979 they
could not have anticipated that some 40 years later it would be a mainstay of attempts to …

An efficient and practical methodology for the synthesis of 3-substituted 4H-quinolizin-4-
ones using (η4-vinylketene)-Fe (CO) 3 complexes as key intermediates has been …

The reaction of Fe2 (CO) 9 with α, β-unsaturated ketones analogues containing β-positioned
sulfoxide group 2a–2d afforded dinuclear Fe (0) complexes 3a–3d and 5 which were …

A multidentate and flexible diolefin–diphosphine ligand, based on the dibenzylidene
acetone core, namely dbaphos (1), is reported herein. The ligand adopts an array of different …

The synthesis and characterisation of a multidentate conformationally flexible ligand based
on the dibenzylidene acetone core structure, dbathiophos (1), is described. Ligand 1 has a …

Palladium (0) complexes containing thienyl analogues of dibenzylidene acetone (dba) have
been synthesized and characterized. Their reactivity toward PPh3 and dppe, to generate …
