Synthesis and Unusual Photochemical Reaction of Highly Congested 2,4,6-Tri-t-butylstyrene Episulfides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1992.1603

Title compounds were synthesized by the reaction of 2,4,6-tri-t-butylthiobenzaldehyde with some diazomethanes.The photolysis of the most sterically congested episulfide obtained from t-Bu2CN2 gave an unusual product resulting from 1,2-migration of t-butyl
