F. Foubelo et al., GAMMA-IODOTHIOETHERS AS A SOURCE OF SULFUR-CONTAINING RADICALS - REACTION WITH ELECTROPHILIC OLEFINS, Anales de quimica, 92(5), 1996, pp. 280-284
The reaction of several gamma-iodothioethers (1) with different electr
ophilic olefins (2), tributyltin chloride and sodium borohydride in th
e presence of a catalytic amount of AIBN yielded, after treatment with
a saturated aqueous solution of sodium fluoride, a mixture of the exp
ected addition products (3) and the corresponding reduced thioethers (
4), which can be easily separated chromatographically.
