Journal ArticleDOI
Sulfur Betaines from S-Propargyl Xanthates. Unusual Chemistry from a Simple Functional Group
TL;DR: S-Propargyl xanthates undergo upon heating a [3,3] sigmropic rearrangement followed by a reversible ring closure into a novel betaine.
Journal ArticleDOI
A concise access to a new class of selective anti-inflammatory steroid derivatives
TL;DR: The 17β-thiomethyl-16α,17α-ketal motif of a new class of selective anti-inflammatory androstane derivatives useful in the treatment of asthma is readily constructed by a new radical degradation of the corticosteroid side chain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ring Opening Induced by Iminyl Radicals Derived from Cyclobutanones: New Aspects of Tin Hydride Cleavage of S-Phenyl Sulfenylimines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stereochemistry of the reduction of 3β-benzoyloxycholest-5-en-4-one with sodium borohydride
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that 3β-benzoyloxycholest-5-en-4β-ol obtained is deuteriated at the 3α position in relatively alkaline conditions, but at 4α- under conditions near neutrality.
Journal ArticleDOI
N‐Hydroxy‐2‐pyridinethione: A Mild and Convenient Source of Hydroxyl Radicals.
TL;DR: N-Hydroxy-2-thiopyridone gives hydroxyl radicals on irradiation with visible light and these can be incorporated in useful radical chain processes involving hydrogen abstraction as discussed by the authors.
