Synthetic potentialities of alkyl and aryl cyclopropylidenealkyl sulfides: Access to 1-(arylthio)vinylcyclopropanes by a 1,3-shift of an arylthio group

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1996-4222

Alkyl and aryl cyclopropylidenealkyl sulfides 2, 4 and 5 were converted to give access to 1-(arylthio)vinylcyclopropanes 3 by light induced or acid catalyzed 1,3-shift of the arylthio group. Some results on the reactivity of sulfides 2, 4 and 5 are report
