title: Thermal rearrangement of thiocarbonyl-stabilised triphenylphosphonium ylides leading to (Z)-1-diphenylphosphino-2-phenylsulfenylalkenes.
abstract: While thermolysis of thiocarbonyl-stabilised phosphonium ylides generally results in extrusion of Ph(3)PS to give alkynes, those with a P=CH function instead undergo a novel P to S transfer of a phenyl group to give (Z)-configured 1-phosphino-2-sulfenylalkenes of interest as bidentate ligands.
