Functionalized nanodiamonds part 3: Thiolation of tertiary/bridgehead alcohols

Treatment of acyclic as well as polycyclic tertiary mono- and dihydroxy hydrocarbon derivatives with thiourea in the presence of hydrobromic and acetic acid represents a convenient one-step route to the respective tertiary thiols and dithiols. This procedure was used for the preparation of diamondoid thiols of diamantane, triamantane, [121]tetramantane, and others that are prospective nanoelectronic materials.

The Invention of New Radical Chain Reactions. Part 11. A New Method for the Generation of Tertiary Radicals from Tertiary Alcohols

A convenient procedure for the radical deoxygenation of tertiary alcohols has been invented using the double half esters of oxalic acid with the t-alcohol and N-hydroxypyridine-2-thione.Decomposition of this type of ester in the presence of 1,1-dimethylethane- or (better) 1,1-diethylpropane-thiol gave the corresponding hydrocarbons in good yield.It has been shown that the oxalate fragmentation is not concerted, but involves a stepwise loss of carbon dioxide.Tertiary alcohols are also a convenient source of radicals for addition to siutable alkenes with formation of quaternary centres.
