Abstract
The hydrolysis of vinyl sulfides in acid solutions is shown to proceed via a mechanism analogous to that of vinyl ethers, with slow proton transfer to the carbon-carbon double bond to produce a sulfur stabilized carbonium ion. Relative rates of hydrolysis of compounds RXCH= CH2 are CH3S-, 41; CH3O-, 1500; C6H5S-, 1; and C6H5O-, 10.5. This order is compared with that of other systems which produce similar stabilized carbonium ions.
