Mechanistic insights into the Rh(<scp>i</scp>)-catalyzed transannulation of 1,2,3-thiadiazoles with alkenes, alkynes, and nitriles: Does the intermediacy of α-thiavinyl Rh-carbenoids play an important role?

Abstract

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to gain an in-depth mechanistic understanding of the Rh(<sc>i</sc>)-catalyzed transannulation of 1,2,3-thiadiazoles with alkenes, alkynes, and nitriles.
