Abstract

The base-catalyzed addition of p-toluenethiol to phenylacetylene and to 2-butyne yields cis- L-styryl p-tolyl sulfide and 2-P-tolylmercapto-trans-2-butene, respectively. Phenylacetylene and methanethiol yield methyl cis-a-styryl sulfide. P-Toluenethiol reacts with 1-hexyne to produce a mixture of 2-p-tolylmercapto-1-hexene and 1-p-tolylmercapto-I-hexene.
