DICHOTOMY IN THE REACTION BETWEEN CINNAMYL DITHIOCARBOXYLATES AND TETRACYANOETHYLENE WITH THE FORMATION OF 7,8-DITHIABICYCLO[3.2.1]OCTANES AND DITHIOACYLOXYCYCLOPENTANES
Iv. Magedov et al., DICHOTOMY IN THE REACTION BETWEEN CINNAMYL DITHIOCARBOXYLATES AND TETRACYANOETHYLENE WITH THE FORMATION OF 7,8-DITHIABICYCLO[3.2.1]OCTANES AND DITHIOACYLOXYCYCLOPENTANES, Russian chemical bulletin, 44(9), 1995, pp. 1735-1739
The reaction of cinnamyl dithiocarboxylates (1) containing electron-do
nating substituents at the central carbon atom of the dithioester grou
p (R = p-MeOC(6)H(4), EtO, and p-Tol) with tetracyanoethylene affords
yano-4-endo-phenyl-7,8-dithiabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes (2) as well as isom
eric acyano-2-phenyl-trans-1-dithioacyloxycyclopentanes (3). Dithiabic
yclooctanes 2 rearrange to the corresponding cyclopentanes 3 upon ther
molysis.
