25. Careful examination by HMQC proved that the dichloride was vicinal based on the fact that the singlet at δ = 6.21 ppm coupled to two different carbon atoms.
26. Sulfuryl chloride was purchased from Aldrich, and used in many reactions with complete reproducibility. Recently, two batches from Aldrich were used in an identical manner, but required a larger excess of reagent, longer reaction times, and gave poorer yields. Aldrich simply stated that they had a different supplier, but did not elaborate. We could detect no difference in the batches by GC-MS or IR analysis.
