Formation of sulphene by thermolysis of N-methylsulphonylphthalimide
Abstract
Sulphene (trapped with ethylamine) and phthalimide are fragmentation products from thermolysis of N-methylsulphonylphthalimide in vacuo at 600 °C; from N-benzylsulphonylphthalimide, benzaldehyde and phthalimide were isolated under the same conditions.
