A novel radical chain reaction of xanthic anhydrides. Further observations on the intermediacy of alkoxy-thiocarbonyl radicals in the Barton-McCombie reaction

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

On irradiation with visible light, primary and secondary xanthic anhydrides undergo a radical chain reaction to give the corresponding xanthates with loss of carbon oxysulphide.
