Vinyl thiobenzoate

The radical copolymerization of vinyl thioacetate and vinyl thiobenzoate has also been investigated. Overall, the polymerization rate of vinyl thioacetate was smaller than that of vinyl acetate, but its reactivity in copolymers was larger. This has been attributed to the participation of a d-n interaction of the sulfur groupings with the vinyl moiety [87]. 

In a similar fashion, vinyl thiobenzoate was synthesized in low yield ( 10%) by pyrolysis of /S-acetoxyethyl thiobenzoate (I, R=C6H5) which was derived from thiobenzoic acid and vinyl acetate in the presence of sulfuric acid (23). The polymerization and copolymerization of II (R==C6H5) were carried out in bulk using azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator. Basic hydrolysis of the polymer yielded poly(vinyl mercaptan), but no sufficient improvement in the degree of polymerization was reported. 

The above-mentioned (9-deoxyribosyl thiobenzoate (c/. equation 39) was obtained from 1,5-protected deoxyribose and phenyl dithiobenzoate. ° Also vinyl arenecarbodithioates were shown to be applicable for the synthesis of thioxoesters." ...
