Abstract

Abstract: The a'@ elimination of the carbanions prepared with butyllithium from allyl, benzyl, and methyl cyclooctyl thioethers to cis-cyclooctene occurs in high yield. An explanation is presented for the production of cis-cyclooctene. Carbanions derived from alkyl benzyl thioethers undergo in high yield the cy 'p elimination to benzyl thiolate and to alkene. Carbanions bearing a long aliphatic chain CIS and C19 undergo the a'@ elimination ...
