The result ing mixture, now yellow (varit)u:; intensities (If brown
for reartions that gave poor yield, of vinyl sllifides), was treated
with 10 ml of water and 10 ml of ::;aturated aqueous ammonium
chloride, and th'" extracted with 10 ml of ether. The ether
extract WitS slH'cessively washed with IO-ml portiO/IS of sl1turated
aqueous sodium bicarbonate and brine; all I1queous phases were
backwashed with 10 ml of ether. The combined ether extracts
were dried over anhydrous mltgnesinm sulfate and conceil trated
on a rotary evaporator. Isolation of the pure vinyl sulfide was
readily accomplished by preparative tl ... on silica gel PF,,,, using
1: 1 methylene chloridecyeJohexane a, eluent. The vinyl
sulfides were all active in the \lV, with HI values uf ca. 0.7.
Methyl a-methylstyryl sulfide (7a) was ubtaiJwd in 80% yield
by the addition of neat benzald(\vde to the anion Sa, formed in
TIIF. Vpe (column A, 100) showed the liquid pruduct to be
h()mogelleou~. The two possible isomers (7a-E, retention time
ii.:l min; 7a-Z, retention time 6.:l min) were prescI,t i" a fi:l
