Abstract
The order of reactivity towards SH2 attack by tributyltin radicals on various groups X in four different molecular environments (RCO2CH2X, RCH2OCH2X, XCH2CO2Et and RCH2X) has been found by competition experiments to be Br < PhSe < Cl < p-CNC6H4S < PhS < p- MeC6H4S < MeS. The mechanism of the reaction of chloromethyl phenyl sulfide with alkoxides is discussed.
