Article Synopsis
- 2-Halo-3-tosyl-oxanorbornadienes can react with two thiol molecules, starting with a nucleophilic substitution to create oxabicyclic thiovinyl sulfones.
- These sulfones then undergo a thio-Michael addition with a second thiol, forming oxanorbornenic thioketals.
- The thioketals can fragment through retro-Diels-Alder reactions, producing a furan derivative and a ketene-acetal, with the reaction rate affected by the structure of the oxanorbornadienic skeleton due to electronic and steric factors.
