(reagent used as allyl carbene equivalent for the formation of vinyl epoxides¹ and vinyl aziridines² from aldehydes and imines, respectively)

Physical Data: mp 71.2–72.3 °C.

Solubility: sol H₂O, alcohol, most organic solvents, not diethyl ether, petrol.

Preparation: equimolar amounts of tetrahydrothiophene and allyl bromide in a solvent (typically methanol³ or diethyl ether⁴) are left to stand for 24–48 h before the solution is evaporated to dryness under high vacuum. Trituration with petroleum ether³ or diethyl ether yields analytically pure material.

Handling and Storage: hygroscopic. Store under argon.
