Thermal desulfurization of (Alkoxymethyl)thiiranes

Reaction of (alkoxymethyl)oxiranes with thiourea in methanol has afforded the corresponding thiiranes, and catalyst-free thermal desulfurization of the products has been studied. The major products of desulfurization are alcohols and alkenes, both in the cases of (polyfluoroalkyloxymethyl)thiiranes and their non-fluorinated analogs. Longer alkyl chain in thiiranes favors formation of alcohols over alkenes formation in the course of desulfurization.

Glyceryl Bisether Sulfates. I: Improved Synthesis

Sparse literature outlines previous syntheses for glyceryl bisether sulfates, which, while giving rise to the desired molecules, are somewhat cumbersome and suffer from undesired by-product formation.We now report and improved synthesis of the title compounds that results in greater simplicity and reduced by-product formation.An hypothesis is advanced to explain the by-product formation. KEY WORDS: Centrally located hydrophile, epichlorohydrin, glyceryl bisether sulfate, synthesis.
