Abstract
Thermally induced decarboxylation of carboxymethylsulfonium betaines results in formation of the corresponding sulfur ylides in situ. Decarboxylation rates for a range of arylcarboxymethylsulfonium betaine salts have been determined using NMR spectroscopy, and the efficiency of ylide generation and trapping has been evaluated via methylidene transfer to a range of aldehydes to form epoxides.Entities:
