Abstract

11 9 spectra, and IR" spectrum. The stereochemistry drawn for 8 was derived from the known reaction of thiols with epoxides to yield exclusive anti-@-hydroxy sulfides14 (and from the isolation of the same compound with base catalysis as described below). When the reaction was allowed to proceed for 6 h, a 52% yield of 8 and a 40% yield of 2, 3-dimethyl-1, 4-naphthoquinone (9), identified by comparison of its NMR and IR spectra with those of an ...
