Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 1 was repeated using dimethyldisulphide (96 mg; 1.02 mmol) and 1-octene (358 mg; 3.19 mmol) in acetonitrile (15 ml) at +1.20 V until 2 coulomb equivalents of charge had been passed. After the addition of water and extraction with diethyl ether, there was obtained 106 mg of methylthio-octane. Mass Spec. m/e 217 (M+) and 44 (100%). I.R. 3300 and 1650 cm-1.
