Abstract

Allyl n-hexyl sulfide is isomerized to n-hexyl propenyl sulfide by refluxing with 3.7 M alcoholic sodium ethoxide; allyl t-butyl sulfide behaves similarly. Diallyl sulfide is isomerized to dipropenyl sulfide, and is also converted in part to an unsaturated mercaptan, 3-mercapto- 1, 5-hexadiene, by a rearrangement of an allyl group. N-Sodiochloro-p- bromobenzenesulfonamide has been found to be superior to chloramine-T for ...
