Reactions of thioketones. Part III. Reaction of chloramine T with aliphatic and aromatic thioketones
Abstract
Chloramine T reacted readily with aliphatic and aromatic thiones, acting as a nucleophilic and as an oxidizing reagent. The non-thioenolizable thiones, thioadamantanone and thiobenzophenone afforded thio-ozonide products. Thiocamphor, however, gave an unsaturated disulphide dimer which on heating underwent a stereospecific Cope-type rearrangement.
