Abstract

Alkyl and aryl cyclopropylidenealkyl sulfides 2, 4 and 5 were converted to give access to 1- (arylthi0) vinylcyclopropanes 3 by light induced or acid catalyzed 1, 3-shift of the arylthio group. Some results on the reactivity of sulfides 2, 4 and 5 are reported. Cyclopropanes containing a sulfur atom in one of its possible oxidation states are very important tools in or- ganic synthesis. 1 Among these, 1-(phenylthi0) vinylcy-clopropanes constitute an ...
