The tosylhydrazones of 2-chlorocyclohexanone, 2-chlorocyclopentanone, 1-chloropropanone, phenacyl chloride, 2-bromoheptanal and 2-bromo-2-methylpropanal (1), (5a),(7a),(8b), and (9b), respectively, reacted rapidly with thiophenol and an excess of triethylamine in tetrahydrofuran at -78 deg C to give the corresponding α-phenylthio-substituted tosylhydrazones (3a), (5b), (7b), (8c), and (9c) in good yields.The α-phenylseleno-substituted tosylhydrazones (3b),(5c), (6c), (8d), and (9d) were similarly prepared, in satisfactory yields, by treating the corresponding α-halogeno-substituted tosylhydrazones with benzeneselenol and an excess of triethylamine.Several α-phenylthio-substituted carbonyl compounds and 2-phenylselenocyclohexanone (4b) were regenerated from the corresponding tosylhydrazones in good yields.
