Abstract
2-Isopropyl-5-methyl-1-cyclohexenyl alkyl sulfides were obtained in about a 60% yield by the reaction of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanone with thioacetals or thiols in the presence of aluminum chloride. 1-Cycloalkenyl ethyl sulfides, (Remark: Graphics omitted.) (n=4, 5, or 6, R=H or alkyl) were obtained in good yields by the reaction of cycloalkanones with ethanethiol in the presence of diphosphorus pentaoxide. However, an attempt to apply this method to acyclic vinyl sulfides was unsuccessful.
