Functional sulfur-containing compounds. Communication 7. Reactions of 2,3-epoxypropyl alkyl sulfides, sulfoxides, and sulfones with alkoxides and amines
It has been established that the electrolysis of 2,3-epoxypropylsulfides, -sulfoxides and -sulfones on Pt or glassy carbon cathodes proceeds via the cleavage of the αCH bond, followed by intramolecular interaction of the α-carbanion with epoxidic ring to give corresponding allylic alcohols in good yields.
