A novel convenient method for the generation of thiocarbonyl ylides from readily accessible starting materials and the first synthetic application of in situ generated ylides in the synthesis of silyl enol and dienol ethers, accompanied by C-C bond formation, is described. Under completely neutral conditions without any catalyst or additive, thermal reactions of S-α-silylbenzyl thioesters in sealed tubes at 180 °C provided silyl enol and dienol ethers in good to excellent yields with high stereoselectivities. This procedure consists of a multistep reaction in a one-pot process, i.e., 1,4-silatropy of S-α-silylbenzyl thioesters to give thiocarbonyl ylides, 1,3-electrocyclization of the ylides to give thiiranes, and the extrusion of sulfur from thiiranes to give silyl enol and dienol ethers.
Clemmensen reduction. XII The synthesis and acidolysis of some diaryl-substituted cyclopropane-1,2-diols. The possible involvement of a cyclopropyl cation

The generation of a number of 1,2-diarylcyclopropane-1,2-diols is reported. Reaction of these in situ with acid gives, primarily, an α,β-unsaturated ketone in which the aryl substituent attached to the double bond is that which is best able to stabilize a benzylic cation. It is proposed that the reaction proceeds by O-protonation of the cyclopropane- 1,2-diol, followed by loss of water and opening of the resulting cyclopropyl cation and final deprotonation. Such initial O-protonation contrasts with the C-protonation normally observed in the acidolysis of cyclopropanols and other dialkyl- and alkylaryl-cyclopropane-1,2-diols.
