Intramolecular Thioether Migration in the Rhodium‐Catalyzed Ene‐Cycloisomerization of Alkenylidenecyclopropanes by a Metal‐Mediated β‐Sulfide Elimination
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Reported is the first example of a rhodium‐mediated β‐sulfide elimination, which represents a new mode of reactivity for late‐transition‐metal chemistry. This serendipitous discovery facilitates an ene‐cycloisomerization of allylic‐sulfide‐containing alkenylidenecyclopropanes (ACPs) to afford five‐membered carbo‐ and heterocyclic rings with concomitant intramolecular thioether migration. Interestingly, similar selectivity is obtained with both E ‐ and Z ‐allylic sulfides and the reaction is also feasible with an allylic selenide. Mechanistic studies are consistent with an inner‐sphere transfer of the sulfide, which is remarkable given the propensity for sulfides to poison transition‐metal catalysts. Finally, this type of atom‐economical rearrangement is envisioned to prompt the development of related processes given the utility of sulfides in target‐directed synthesis.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
