Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Thermal decomposition of arylmethylsulphonylalkylidenetriphenylphosphoranes results in loss of Ph3P and SO2 to give alkenes and in some cases products derived from benzylic radicals, the products are explained by a mechanism involving sulphonyl carbenes.
