Abstract

The photochemically-induced additions of methanethiol to 4-t-butylcyclohexene yielded a mixture of the four isomeric sulphides, cis and trans 4-t-butylcyclohexylmethyl sulphides and cis and trans 3-t-butylcyclohexylmethyl sulphides. The less stable axially substituted isomers, cis 4-t-butylcyclohexylmethyl sulphide and trans 3-t-butylcyclohexymethyl sulphide, were formed in amounts five to seven times greater than the equatorially substituted ...
