Abstract

Irradition of methyl styryl sulphoxide dissolved in MeOH, EtOH, or AcOH induces the photochemical polar addition of the solvents to afford the product, PhCH (OR) CH2SOMe, where R is Me, Et, or Ac. By-products are the corresponding sulphides, PhCH (OR) CH2SMe, and methyl styryl sulphide. Similar adducts of protic solvents are produced upon irradiation of certain vinylic sulphides, methyl phenethynyl sulphide, as well as ...
