-134Anchimerically Assisted Substitution of a Sulfinyl Function in α-Sulfinyl Hydrazones by Thiols.-The α-sulfinyl carboxaldehyde dimethylhydrazones (III), obtained by lithiation of the hydrazones (I) followed by treatment with methyl p-tolylsulfinate (II), react with the thiols (IV) to give the sulfides (V). A mechanism involving an acid-catalyzed anchimerically assisted elimination-addition process is discussed. -(BOSCH, H.; PFLIEGER, P.; MIOSKOWSKI, C.; SALAUEN, J.-P.; DURST, F.; Tetrahedron Lett. 32 (1991) 20, 2237-2240 Univ.
