REACTIONS OF ORGANOMETALLIC REAGENTS WITH SULFONYL HALIDES. V. ACTION OF p-TOLUENESULFONYL IODIDE ON SELECTED DIARYLCADMIUM COMPOUNDS

Abstract
Interaction of p-toluenesulfonyl iodide (1) with diarylcadmium compounds (2–6) gave in all cases p-tolyl p-toluenethiosulfonate and p-toluenesulfonic acid in addition to the corresponding iodoarenes, diaryls and other hydrocarbons. Plausible mechanisms including the intermediacy of aryl and p-toluenesulfonyl radicals were suggested for explaining our findings. The results show that the behaviour of arylsulfonyl iodides towards diarylcadmium compounds is much different from that of the corresponding fluorides or chlorides.
