| Abstract: | Xanthates (0,S-dialkyl dithiocarbonates) received much attention in connection with technological1 and synthetic applications2. Pyrolytic elimination of xanthates, called the Chugaev reaction, has been widely used as a method of dehydrating alcohols without rearrangement of carbon skeleton3. |
