Abstract:. 63, 745 (1985).The quantitative isornerization of 2,2-bis(ethylthi0)-3,3-dimethylpent-4-en to 2.2-bis(ethy1thio)-5-methylhex-4-enal was studied over the temperature range 130-170°C. An investigation of the generality and specific mechanism of this formal [I ,3] sigmatropic shift was conducted with six related compounds. The rearrangements were found to obey first-order kinetics, and on the basis of significant positive entropies of activation (52-106 J deg-I mol-I), crossover and trapping experiments, and … Show more
