Abstract

Flash vacuum pyrolysis and solution thermolysis of Ph [CH] SON indicate that intramolecular addition to the phenyl group is preferred in solution, provided that up to an eight-membered sultam ring is formed, otherwise side-chain insertion results, while in the gas phase the latter process is favoured when= 4, 5, but
