General Description

Benzyl chloromethyl sulfide is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H9ClS. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, and it is commonly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and organic compounds. Benzyl chloromethyl sulfide is known to be a lachrymator, causing irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system upon exposure. It is also a potential irritant to the gastrointestinal tract and can cause burns upon contact with the skin. Additionally, it is highly toxic if ingested and can cause serious health effects if not handled with proper care and caution.

Synthesis of polydentate ligands containing amides and thiols for biomimetic metal complexes

Three pentadentate "N2S3" and one tetradentate "N2S2" new ligands with "N" = CONH and "S" = SH have been synthesized. The key step is the direct diamide formation from the malonyl diester and the amines in the p

SYNTHESIS AND CONFIGURATIONAL STUDIES OF ARYL CYCLOPROPYL SULFONES

The cycloaddition of arylthiocarbenes to styrene gave stereospecifically cis-1-(arylthio)-2-phenylcyclopropanes, which were subsequently oxidized to the corresponding sulfones.The cyclopropanation of α,β-unsaturated sulfones with dimethylsulfonium methylide yielded stereoselectively trans-1-(arylsulfonyl)-2-arylcyclopropanes.The configurational assignments of these compounds have been arrived at on the basis of IR and PMR spectral data.Chemical shifts for ring protons and other substituents reveal that all the substituents tend to cause protons cis to them to appear at higher fields than those trans to them.This has been used as a criterion to distinguish between cis and trans aryl cyclopropyl sulfones.
