BF3-Catalyzed Addition of Thiols to (+)-Camphene

摘要

BF3-catalyzed addition of some thiols to (+)-camphene was examined. Reactions with aromatic thiols and hetaryl thiols result in terpene sulfides of camphene or bornane structure in accordance with the Markovnikov's rule, whereas with remain thiols the reaction proceeds against the Markovnikov's rules preserving the original structure of the molecule.
