A practical method for the reductive cleavage of the sulfide bond in xanthates

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Xanthates can be reduced to the corresponding alkane through cleavage of the sulfide bond by heating in 2-propanol in the presence of equimolar amounts of dilauroyl peroxide, added in small portions.
