Abstract

Transformation of Thiosulphonates into a-Sulphonyldisulphides, a New Class of Thioaldehyde Precursors ... Gordon W. Kirby," Alistair W. Lochead, and Gary N. Sheldrake Department of Chemistry, University of Glasgow, Glasgow GI2 800, UK ... Toluene-p-thiosulphonates, RCH2SS02Tol (1) where R is an electron-withdrawing group, are transformed readily into wsulphonyldisulphides (2) which, with triethylamine, undergo fragmentation-elimination to give 2 moles of th ioa ...
