Vg. Nenajdenko et al., REACTION OF DIMETHYL SULFIDE DITRIFLATE WITH ALKENES - SYNTHESIS OF SULFUR DERIVATIVES OF NORTRICYCLANE, Tetrahedron, 53(24), 1997, pp. 8173-8180
The reaction of dimethyl sulfide ditriflate with alkenes leads to the
corresponding sulfonium salts. Dependence of the reaction course on th
e substrate structure is discussed. In the reactions with norbornene a
nd norbornadiene the sulfonium salts with nortricyclene skeleton were
obtained. The configurations of the two isomeric disubstituted nortric
yclanes 21a,b were determined by NMR. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
