Stereospecific synthesis of thiolan 1-oxide derivatives by intramolecular addition of sulphenic acids to olefins
Abstract
Pyrolysis of derivatives of 5-t-butylsulphinylpentene, which may be prepared by reaction of t-butylsulphenic acid with 1,5-dienes, provides a method for the stereospecific synthesis of thiolan 1-oxide derivatives.
