36. Greidanus, J. W. Can. J. Chem. 1970, 48, 3530. However, detailed mechanistic studies of the dimerization of other thio- and selenocarbonyl compounds appear to be lacking.
37. The downfield shift of H(4) in both camphor moieties (from 6 2.53 in 21 to 5 2.84 and 5 2.71 and 24) and of the endo-H(5) proton on one camphor unit (from d 1.88 to ó 2.58) is attributed to their location in the deshielding zone of the sulfoxide bond.
