Abstract

The mechanism of the “S, N double rearrangement” was studied by 13C labeling and crossover reactions. The results indicate that the condensation is a thiallylic rearrangement of the initial ring-closure product formed from the cyano and mercapto groups of the starting compound and benzoic acid.
