Bf. Bonini et al., STEREOCHEMISTRY OF PROTIODESILYLATION OF 3-TRIMETHYLSILYL-2-THIABICYCLO[2.2.1]HEPTENES, HEPTANES AND DERIVATIVES, Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 95-6(1-4), 1994, pp. 379-380
Some 3-trimethylsilyl-2-thiabicyclo[2.2.1]heptenes and heptanes of kno
wn configuration were protiodesilylated and the stereochemistry of the
reaction was studied. Evidences for a carbanionic intermediate as wel
l as the pivotal role played by the metal counter-ion are described.
