Structure of bis[(isopropylthio)acetato]copper(II) dihydrate

Bio-organometallic Organosulfur Chemistry. Transi- tion Metal-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Using Coen- zyme M or Thioglycolic Acid as the Leaving Group

“…The high-yielding reaction of dimethylzinc with bromozinc S -( p -tolyl)thioglycolate, but not with the corresponding tert -butyl ester, supports an essential role (activation of the Ni−S bond toward substitution) for an internal, ligand-bound zinc ion in the cross-coupling process. Crystal structure studies support such simple zinc chelates in the solid state. − …”
