Abstract

Certain 8-hydroxy thio ethers (RCHOHCH8R ') have been found to undergo a facile cleavage yielding ketones and mercaptans in t-butyl peroxide induced reactions at 125'. A free-radical chain mechanism involving a@ elimination of an alkanethiyl radical from an a- hydroxy-P-alkanethioalkyl radical (RCOHCH2SR') which is produced by abstraction of a 8 hydrogen from the 8-hydroxy thio ether by the eliminated thiyl radical is proposed for these ...
