Abstract
A new method for the synthesis of bicyclic sulfides consisting of the reaction of cycloolefin sulfides with vinylmagnesium or allylmagnesium bromides and the subsequent intramolecular cyclization of the resulting unsaturated mercaptans has been proposed. By using this method, from cyclohexene sulfide we have synthesized 1-thiadecalin and 2-methyl-1-thiahydrindan; and complexes of these substances with mercuric chloride, and their methiodides and sulfones have been obtained.
