Abstract

Spectral evidence for the existence of cyclopentene S-acetylepisulfoniuin p- toluenesulfonate (2a) was reported,* but full characterization of Za, a brown, viscous oil, was not achieved. Treatment of the p-halo sulfide lb with silver; p-toluenesulfonate* gave a polymer-like material that presumably formed by way of 2b. a:
