Abstract

The exchange of (CGHO) ZCH. with (C&) 2CH2 was studied by decomposition of (C6H5) 2CH--N= N-CH (C&) 2 (I) in (CGH~) ZC" HH~ at 60" and examination of the (CGH~)~ CH-CH (C~ H~)~(11) produced for radioactivity. Little or no exchange was observed. Thiophenol, ca. 0.04 mole/l., led to diminished yield of I1 and 17% exchange, apparently Diu the reactions (CGHS)~ CH. 4-C&SH F?(CeH5) zCHz f C&S.. A few experiments with a- ...
