Abstract

s 15 tosylhydrazone decompositions were obtained also, though no consistent pattern of product formation other than alcohols emerged. From 4, particularly upon longer reaction times, formation of p-tolyl p toluenethiosulfonllte (16) and p-tolyl disulfide (17) was observed. Though the matter was not investigated completely, such products were also probably formed from reactions of 5 and 6. These are disproportiona-
