A computational investigation of the thermal elimination chemistry of β-borylated sulfoxides. Sulfenic acid vs . boryl sulfenate elimination
Abstract
Computational analysis reveals that boryl substituents lower barriers for the classical Ei reaction of sulfoxides leading to sulfenic acids and olefins; however, the preferred elimination is that of a boryl sulfenate in all cases except Bmida.
