28. Iminium ions of a completely different structure have recently been produced by solvolysis of anilinothioethers (S. Eldin and W. P. Jencks, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1995, 117, 4851).
29. max of this ion is lower than that (280 nm) from 1 may be due to the higher electron density in the latter case.
30. This higher value as compared to 1 may indicate a higher degree of linearity of the transition state.
31. It is likely that the charge distribution in the ylides is different for 1-2 as compared to 3-5. With 1 and 2, the negative charge is localized equally on the equivalent benzylic carbons, whereas in 3-5 it is probably located on the single benzylic carbon, as indicated in Scheme 1.
