36. 1H NMR combined with the absence of an SH peak for 6 suggests that a competing reaction may convert some of the assumed thiophosphonium intermediate into 6 and that the reduction source is deuterated.

44. In contrast, Hayashi [45] reported that it was easier and faster to desulfurize 3 compared with 4 with Ph3P. This appears to be an erroneous conclusion since the desulfurization of aromatic disulfides is possible only at high temperatures.
