Conclusions
-
1.
Triphenylphosphine demethylates 2-(methylphenylsulfuranylidene)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1, 3-dione to form methyltriphenylphosphonium 2-(phenylthio)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (IV).
-
2.
Compound (IV) readily undergoes anion-exchange reactions with NaBPh4, MeI, moist SO2 (gas), dry HCl, and Me2SO4.
-
3.
Dimethyl- and dibenzylsulfonium ylides of dimedone are desulfurized and deoxygenated by triphenylphosphine.
