Summary
The photoaddition of aromatic dithiols (1) onto aliphatic alkenes (2a-2c) yielding polysulfides is studied. Polysulfides having anti-Markownikow and Markownikow moieties in the main chain are obtained by the reaction of dithiols (1) with ethyleneglycoldivinylether (2a). The unusual Markownikow orientation is explained on the basis of a radical cation intermediate.
