Lewis acid-induced nucleophilic substitution reactions of α-nitro sulphides
Abstract
The nitro group of α-nitro sulphides is displaced by a cyano, allyl, or 2-oxocyclohexyl group on treatment with trimethylsilylcyanide, allyltrimethylsilane, or 1-trimethylsilyloxycyclohexene, respectively, in the presence of a Lewis acid.
