“…2-imino-1,3-oxathiolanes 2,8 and thioguanidines 9 ), with only a limited number of these compounds evidently having been studied experimentally thus far, 1,2,5a,7,10,11 and extremely limited attention paid to the problem of stereochemistry in cases of asymmetric substitution. 1,5a For systems containing only one type of Group VI atoms, both the E and Z isomers of asymmetrically substituted compounds have been individually observed at low temperatures after decoalescence of the intramolecular exchange, 1 whereas for the commonly studied, symmetrically substituted derivatives, it was generally the case that deconvolution of the intramolecular exchange was readily possible 1,4,5 (in some cases, systems were below coalescence even at room temperature). However, the observation 5a was made some time ago that for mixed Group VI atomic systems, i.e.…”
