“…This material was chromatographed on a silica gel column with a 5% acetone-hexane mixture as the eluent. The first fraction contained 400 mg (30% yield) of a white solid whose structure was assigned as trans-[2,2-dimethyl-1-(phenylthio)-3-(p-tolylsulfonyl)cyclopropyl]trimethylsilane (33) on the basis of the following data: mp 96-97 °C; IR (KBr) 3080, 3000, 2960, 1600, 1590, 1485, 1150, 1090, 850, 745, and 670 cm"1; NMR (90 MHz, CC14) 0.38 (s, 9 ), 1.29 (s, 3 ), 1.58 (s, 3 H), 2.29 (s, 1 H), 2.39 (s, 3 ), 7.39-7.10 (m, 7 H), and 7.65 (d, 2 H, J = 9.0 Hz); 13C NMR (20 UV (95% ethanol) 228 nm (e 20000) and 265 (7700).
