Phenylthiyl radicals add regiospecifically to isoprenoid chrom-3-enes to yield 3-phenylthiochromans which open to o-prenylphenols on electron transfer from metal naphthalenides or a mercury cathode; the two-step process is tolerant of free phenol and carbonyl functions, and trisubstituted double bonds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
