✦ Synopsis


The unusual stability of phenylsulfinyl carbene, signalled by (1) the ease by which it is formed unimolecularly from phenyl diazomethyl sulfoxide, (2) the lack of C-H insertion reactions, and (3) the high degree of stereoselectivity in cycloaddition to Z-2-butene and cyclohexene, 2 strongly suggests that the sulfinyl sulfur can stabilize the carbene by donation of its lone electron pair into the empty orbital of the carbenic carbon, a conclusion at odds with the generally held view that the sulfinyl function is an electron-withdrawing group.3
