Abstract
A mild method for 1,2-addition of alkyl disulfides to alkenes and conj ugated polyenes catalysed by MClx-promoted montmorillonite clays is re ported. Alkenes undergo 1,2-trans addition affording MClx-complexed de rivatives, which are readily converted to alkylthio-derivatives on rea ction with EDTA. Conjugated polyenes yield 1,2-trans addition and 1,n- addition products, with 1,2-addition compounds being found at low reac tion temperatures.
