Abstract

The thiolester 19 was characterized by its spectra (nmr and infrared) and by hydrolysis with aqueous so-dium hydroxide to 2, 2-dimethyl-3-butenoic acid (20). The acid 20 was converted to the solid dibromide 21. The carbene reaction was repeated using 7, y- dimethylallyl ethyl sulfide and similar results were obtained (see Experimental Section). a, a- Dimethylallyl ethyl sulfide (15) was prepared according to Scheme I11 which was ...
