Abstract: | In contrast to the behaviour of the analogous phosphonium betaines, neither the presence at arsenic of the electron-withdrawing 2-furyl substituent nor enclosure of the arsenic in the strained dibenzarsolium ring system promote betaine collapse via attack of betaine oxygen at the arsonium centre. Thus both 2-furyl(methyl)diphenylarsonium iodide and 5-methyl-5-phenyldibenzarsolium iodide on treatment with benzaldehyde and ethanolic sodium ethoxide give exclusive formation of olefin epoxide and tertiary arsine. |
