Thiophile Reaktionen an Thiocarbonylverbindungen und deren Redoxverhalten

Abstract

Abstract The review describes thiophilic reactions of thiocarbonyl compounds with C‐ and S‐nucleophiles. They occur more frequently than has been supposed up to now, especially between vicinal thiocarbonyl systems and S‐nucleophiles. A general relation between thiophilic reactions and the redox behaviour of the system and a possibility to estimate approximately the thiophilic properties are discussed. Some conclusions for the synthesis and the behaviour of thiocarbonyl compounds are drawn.
