Abstract

View all references To pursue the further proof that water improves the reacting ability of SmI 2 , we investigated the reduction of alkyl thiocyanates and sodium alkyl thiosulfates by SmI 2 in aqueous and anhydrous media. The experiments show that water has significant improving effect on the reactivity of SmI 2 and that as a cosolvent, water promoted the conversion from sodium alkyl thiosulfates and alkyl thiocyanates not to the reductive intermediate product alkyl ...
