A 1H n.m.r. and ab initio SCF-MO study of thiophenium methylides
Abstract
A 1H dynamic n.m.r. and ab initio SCF-MO study of thiophenium methylides (1) indicates that the compounds have lower inversion barriers at sulphur than the corresponding aliphatic ylides; the unusual stability of (1) may arise from conjugation of the sulphur lone pair with the ring.
