scheme or table, p. 18 - 23 (2011/10/09)
In the presence of catalytic amounts of RhH(PPh3)4, 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), and dimethyl disulfide, cyclic and acyclic α-phenyl ketones reacted with p-cyano-α- methylthioacetophenone giving α-methylthio-α-phenylketones. The activated catalyst containing dimethyl disulfide was effective for the α-methylthiolation reaction of these less reactive substrates.
Rhodium-catalyzed α-methylthiolation reaction of unactivated ketones using 1,2-diphenyl-2-methylthio-1-ethanone for the methylthio transfer reagent

experimental part, p. 2305 - 2312 (2011/04/22)
In the presence of catalytic amounts of RhH(PPh3)4, 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), and dimethyl disulfide, ketones without α-activating groups were α-methylthiolated with 1,2-diphenyl-2-methylthio-1-ethanone giving α-methylthio ketones. The reaction of unsymmetrical ketones proceeded at the more substituted carbons. The initial formation of kinetic α-methylthiolated products followed by their rearrangement to thermodynamic products was observed in the reaction of α-phenyl ketones. Aldehydes, phenylacetate, and phenylacetonitrile were also α-methylthiolated under these conditions.
