Abstract

In connection with our studies on oxygen transfermechanisms' we became interested in the analogous reactions of sulfur compounds. In this regard, we found that if tertiary amine N- oxides were deoxygenated by carbon disulfide2y3 in the presence of olefins, the corresponding thiiranes were formed. This reaction could be synthetically valuable, since thiirane~,~ which are not readily prepared directly from unsaturated compound^,^-^ can ...
