Abstract
The reaction of oxides of sulfolene and its methyl derivative with potassium and sodium thiocyanates was studied. It is shown that under the influence of potassium thiocyanate these oxides undergo isomerization to the corresponding unsaturated alcohols. In the presence of sulfuric acid, however, the oxides react with sodium thiocyanate to give addition products, viz., hydroxythiocyanatosulfolanes.
