Thioethers Thioethers P 0430 N-Bromosuccinimide-dimercaptoethane Cobromination of Alkenes: Synthesis of β,β'-Dibromodithioethers. -Alkenes (I) and (IV) react with NBS and dimercaptoethane (II) to afford the corresponding β,β'-dibromodithioethers (III) and (V). Bromine and (II) are added to the terminal olefins in an anti-Markovnikov fashion (some yields not given). -(YOUNES, M. R.; CHAABOUNI*, M.

The synthesis of bis(oxazolidinone)polyoxyethylene derivatives 2a -h from oligoethylene glycols diglycidyl ethers 1a -e and isocyanates is reported. The reaction was achieved by lithium bromide and tributylphosphine oxide. These bis-oxazolidinones may have important antibacterial activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
