Abstract
Abstract Methanesulphenyl chloride and n-butanesulphenyl chloride add readily across the double bonds in cis-1,4-polybutadiene. The addition is highly regioselective so that long sequences of saturated units are formed. The products are very unstable, evolving hydrogen chloride on standing, but can be stabilized by replacing the labile chlorine atom with other nucleophiles in a phase transfer catalysed reaction.
