The Preparation of Some Octenyl Sulfides From Oct-1-en-3-Ol and Oct-2-en-1-ol

Abstract

(E)- and (Z)-1-(Pheny1thio)oct-2-ene, (E)-1-(methylthio)- and 1-(t-butylthio)-oct-2-ene, S-[(E-oct-2-enyl] N,N- dimethylthiocarbamate , S-[(E)-oct-2-enyl] N,N- dimethylthiocarbamate , (E)-(oct-2-enylthio) benzothiazole , and S-[(E)-oct-2-enyl] N,N,N',N'- tetramethylphosphorodi - amidothioate have been prepared by nucleophilic substitution reactions and [1,3]- and [3,3]-sigma- tropic shifts involving intermediates prepared from oct-1-en-3-ol and (E)- and (Z)-oct-2-en-1-ol.
