C-H insertion thienyl products are selectively formed at early times of the interaction of the unsaturated 16e(-) fragment [(triphos)IrH] with 2,5-dimethylthiophene (Me2T), 2-methylbenzothiophene (MeBT) and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (Me2DBT) [triphos = MeC(CH2PPh2)(3)]. C-S insertion to give six-membered metallathiacycle products occurs as a thermal step only for Me2T and MeBT. The C-S insertion products are isolated as both kinetic and thermodynamic stereoisomers. The thermodynamic C-S insertion product of MeBT, endo-[(triphos)Ir(eta(3)-S,C,C-S(C6H4)CH=C(Me)H)], has been characterized by X-ray diffraction studies. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
