Abstract

The Pummerer rearrangement reaction of 2-or 3-substituted 4-(phenylsulfinyl) butyric acids in the presence of an excess amount of acetic anhydride and a catalytic amount of p- toluenesulfonic acid in refluxing toluene for 1 h afforded 2-or 3-substituted 4-phenylthio-4- butanolide (17a–f). Thermolysis in pyridine of 4-phenylsulfinyl 4-butanolides, which were prepared by oxidation of 17a–f, afforded 2-or 3-substituted 2-or 3-buten-4-olides.
