Abstract

First Photolysis of an Enolizable 1,4-Dithioketone: Photochemical Study of Bis-thiocamphor. -The photolysis of the bis-thiocamphor (I) results in formation of the mercapto-enethione (II) via 1,5 abstraction and 1,5 H-shift. This stands in contrast to the analogous reaction of thiocamphor, where only the β-endo hydrogen migrates to the sulfur. -(SALAMA, P.; POIRIER, M.; DEL ROCIO PATINO MAYA, M.; ROBICHAUD, J.; BENOIT, M.; Synlett (1996) 9, 823-824; Dep.
