title: Catalytic synthesis of thiobutyrolactones via CO insertion into the C-S bond of thietanes in the presence of a heterodinuclear organoplatinum-cobalt complex.
abstract: Heterodinuclear organoplatinum-cobalt complex having a 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane ligand (dppe)MePt-Co(CO)4 catalyzes CO insertion into the C-S bond of thietanes in THF at 100 degrees C under 1.0 MPa of CO for 2 h to give gamma-thiobutyrolactone in quantitative yield.
