Preparation of olefins from alcohols by thermal rearrangement of propargylic xanthates

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Upon heating in toluene in the presence of a catalytic amount of collidinium trifluorosulfonate salt, various S-propargylic xanthates derived from secondary alcohols can be easily converted to their corresponding olefins in good yields.
