A carbanion [carb-AN-ion] intermediate is implicated in the conjugate base variation of one type of it that is favored in protic solvents.
Xanthate esters react to form a thiol, carbonyl sulfide, and one other compound in the Chugaev type of this reaction. One type involves reaction of an N-oxide, while another follows exhaustive methylation of an amine. A carbanion [carb-AN-ion] intermediate is implicated in the conjugate base variation of one type of it that is favored in protic solvents. When it occurs in bicyclic compounds, reactivity can be determined by Bredt's rule; in general, product formation from this reaction can follow rules of either Hofmann or Zaitsev. Often resulting in the formation of a double bond, FTP identify this class of reactions that has unimolecular and bimolecular types and results in the loss of part of a molecule.
