Reactivity of endo-3-bromocamphor with sulfur-centered nucleophiles by an electron transfer mechanism. Electrophilic behaviour of the 3-camphoryl radical†
The photostimulated reaction of arylthiolate ions with endo-3-bromocamphor produced both reduction and substitution products. The pKa and proton affinities of the conjugated acids were found to be good indicators of the reactivity.
