Abstract: | The proton and carbon-13 nmr spectra of thioxanthone sulfoxide, thioxanthone sulfone, thioxanthonium bis(carbomethoxyl)methylide and thioxanthonium bis(carbomethoxyl)methylide S-oxide are assigned using 2-D nmr techniques and compared to those of thioxanthone. The pseudo-equatorial methylide fragment shields C4a/5a by ? 11 ppm relative to the corresponding sulfoxide and by ? 4 ppm relative to thioxanthone. The pseudo-axial methylide fragment in the oxysulfonium ylide has the same effect upon C4a/5a as does the pseudo-axial oxygen of the corresponding sulfone. The sulfoxide and the sulfonium ylide have similar chemical shifts for C2/7 (? 131 ppm) as do the sulfone and oxysulfonium ylide (? 133 ppm). |
