For the hydrogenation of (1-phenylthiophene)Mn(CO)3 (2), the nature of the thiophene derivatives strongly affect the yields and distribution of reaction products. When 3-methyl- and 3,4-dimethylthiophene were used as thiophene derivatives, the dimer [Mn(CO)4(SPh)]2 (7) and the tetramer [Mn(CO)3(SPh)]4 (8) was obtained as major products and the hydrodesulfurized product, isoprene or 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene were obtained in a high yield. Structures of 7 and 8 were verified by X-ray diffraction studies.
