Abstract
The reaction of styrene oxide with trifluoromethylthiocopper furnishes seve n compounds; all arising from the free radical cleavage of the oxirane ring . The mechanism of the formation and mass spectral characterization of the various products are described in this communication. (C) 1999 Elsevier Sci ence S.A. All rights reserved.
