A reaction of simple α,ω dithiolates with (+) 3 carene and (-) α pinene β nitroso chlo rides goes through the substitution for the chlorine atoms at the quaternary carbon atoms with retention of configuration leading to the corresponding bis α sulfanyl oximes. Their reaction with dichloromethane under conditions of phase transfer catalysis takes place at the oxime hydroxyl and gives sulfur containing macrocyclic compounds.
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.
