Attachment of 2-mercaptoethanol and thioglycolic acid methyl ester to the double bond of (1S)-(-)-b-pinene yielded pinane sulfides with the cis configuration. Oxidation of sulfides with m-chloroperbenzoic acid yielded the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones. The resulting compounds were screened for antimycotic activity and the dynamics of changes in antifungal properties in sulfides-sulfoxide-sulfone series were studied.
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.
