Synthesis and chemistry of S-acylthiol S-oxides and related compounds
Abstract
S-Oxides of thiocarbonate OS-diesters, dithiocarbonate SS-diesters, and NN-disubstituted thiocarbamate S-esters have been synthesised and characterised. The use of these as intermediates in sulphenate synthesis was examined. The reaction of sulphenates with phosphines was found to occur with oxygen abstraction. The mechanism of this process was investigated.
