| Abstract: | Treatment of norbornene with trifluoromethylsulfenyl chloride at ?80°C furnishes, in addition to trifluoromethylthionortricyclane, four isomeric (chloro) (trifluoromethylthio)-norbornanes and bis-(2, 6-trifluoromethylthio)norbornane. The probable mechanism of the formation of the various compounds via free radical intermediates and their mass spectral characterization are described in this communication. |
