Usage

General Description

[(3-methylbutyl)sulfanyl]benzene, also known as 4-tert-butylthiobenzene, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C11H16S. It consists of a benzene ring with a thioether (sulfur-containing) group attached to the 4-position, and a tert-butyl group attached to the sulfur. The compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor. It is used primarily as a scent and flavoring agent in the fragrance and food industries. It is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds.[(3-methylbutyl)sulfanyl]benzene is considered to be relatively stable and non-reactive under normal conditions, but it may pose health hazards if inhaled, ingested, or brought into contact with skin.

An Iodine-Mediated Hofmann-L?ffler-Freytag Reaction of Sulfoximines Leading to Dihydroisothiazole Oxides

A Hofmann-L?ffler-Freytag type cyclization reaction of S-aryl-S-phenylpropyl sulfoximines (and related derivatives) was developed. Using molecular iodine as the initiator under visible light a series of five-membered cyclic products was obtained in moderate to high yields. The approach represents a new strategy for the synthesis of dihydroisothiazole oxides and benzo[d]isothiazoles-1-oxides. (Figure presented.).

Preparation of (2E,6E)-10,11-dihydrofamesol via a (bisphenyl)dithioacetal reduction

Reduction of a (bisphenyl)dithioacetal with sodium/isopropyl alcohol in THF allows preparation of (2E,6E)-10,11-dihydrofarnesol in high yield.

Low pressure hydrogenation of unsaturated sulphides with homogeneous and heterogeneous ruthenium catalysts

Ru2O·nH2O and [Ru3O(AcO)6(H2O)3]+AcO- were examined for catalytic activity in the hydrogenation of a series of unsaturated sulphides under heterogeneous and homogeneous conditions, respectively. By the appropriate combination of these two methodologies, a number of saturated sulphides could be synthesized in satisfactory to good yields, thus minimizing side reactions.
