Abstract
The Willgerodt-Kindler reaction of acetophenone was studied. Apart from the normal product 4-(benzylthiocarbonyl)morpholine, another product 4-(benzoylthiocarbonyl)morpholine was obtained unexpectedly. The structure of the latter was confirmed by IR, 1H NMR spectra and X-ray diffraction analysis. The mechanism of the reaction was discussed.
