Photochemistry of cis-3-diazo-5,6-dimethyl-1,4-oxathian-2-one S-oxide in argon matrices

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The photochemistry of the α-diazo sulfoxide 7 has been investigated in solid argon at 10 K by IR spectroscopy. The sulfinyl carbene was not detected directly but instead underwent photochemically induced hetero-Wolff rearrangement to the sulfine 8 which could be detected and characterized following irradiation at 248 nm. Further photochemical reaction of this intermediate led to the oxathiirane 9 which was most readily detected on irradiation of 7 at 308 nm. The matrix-isolated species were identified by comparison of experimental and calculated IR spectra.
