Ga. Dushenko et al., 1,7-SIGMATROPIC SHIFTS OF THE PHENYLSULFANYL GROUP ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THE CYCLOHEPTATRIENE RING, Mendeleev communications, (2), 1997, pp. 50-51
Rapid and reversible migrations of the phenylsulfanyl group around the
seven-membered ring of 7-phenylsulfanylcyclohepta-1,3,5-triene have b
een proved to proceed through successive 1,7-sigmatropic shifts with a
n energy barrier (Delta G(298)(not equal)) in the range of 19.5-20.1 k
cal mol(-1).
