The invention of new radical chain reactions. Part XIII. High yielding decarboxylative chalcogenation of aliphatic and alicyclic acids

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Irradiation with a tungsten lamp of mixed anhydrides (e.g. 8) derived from aliphatic or alicyclic carboxylic acids and N-hydroxy-2-pyridine thione 3 in the presence of a disulphide, diselenide or ditelluride gives the corresponding chalcogenide (e.g. 9, 10, or 11) in high yield. The process involves a radical decarboxylation followed by SH2 reaction of the intermediate carbon radical on the dichalcogenide.
