Notes:
In a new approach, unstable carbenium ions produced in strong protic media could be trapped by thioethers yielding sulfonium compounds. The method has successfully been applied to the rearrangement reactions of sec-butyl alcohol and pinacol, where carbenium ions could be trapped before their rearrangement.In the case of the pinacol-pinacon rearrangement the carbenium ion 13 has already been discussed but for the first time its existence is proved.Since compound 16 has been found, a new mechanism for the pinacol-pinacon rearrangement is postulated starting with diprotonated pinacol.
