| Abstract: | The title compounds were prepared starting from pyrrolinone 4 . Nucleophilic‐displacement and ring‐closure reactions yielded the dithiolopyrrole 5a , which formed salts with electrophiles ( 7, 8 ) as well as with bases. The crystal structure of 5a was determined. Oxidation of the dithioles 5a and 6a led to S(2)‐oxides ( 10a, 11a ) and the corresponding S(2)‐dioxides ( 10b, 11b ) depending on reaction conditions. The thiosulfinate 10a was converted by a ring‐opening/ring‐closure reaction sequence to the bicyclic sulfinamide 12 . The oxidative addition reactions of Pt(η2‐C2H4) (PPh3)2] ( 14 ) with the disulfides 5a and 13 led to the dithiolatoplatinum(II) complexes 15 and 16 , respectively. Complex 16 was characterized structurally. The sulfenato‐thiolato complex 17 was synthesized via reaction of 14 with the thiosulfinate 10a . The thiosulfonato PtII complex 18 was prepared by an oxidative insertion of Pt0 into the C? S bond of the corresponding thiosulfonate 10b . Furthermore, complex 18 was characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray‐diffraction studies. |
