Abstract

Abstract: Reactions are reported which establish that metalation can occur a to the sulfur of methyl and ethyl thioesters to give synthetically useful species. The methyl thiobenzoates 4a, 4b, 4c, and methyl thiopivalate (4d) react with lithium 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidide (LiTMP) in tetrahydrofuran at ambient temperature to give the corresponding dibenzoylmethanes, 5a, 5b, Sc, and dipivaloylmethane (5d), respectively, in yields of 60- ...
