Homolytic cyclization of 1,3-propanedithiol to 1,2-dithiolane in the presence of 2,5-dimethyl-2,4-hexadiene
摘要:
2,2-Diethyl-1,3-propanedithiol undergoes cyclization to 4,4-diethyl-1,2-dithiolane upon interaction with 2,5-dimethyl-2,4-hexadiene in benzene in the presence of azodiisobutyronitrile. The reaction proceeds according to the radical chain mechanism.
