Abstract

The synthetic utility of thiol ester enolate anions has been explored. Claisen condensations of thiol esters with isoprcipylmagnesium bromide base proceed in good yield. The Dieckmann reaction of diethyl thiolpimelate to form a six-membered ring proceeds in 74% yield, but the corresponding reaction of diethyl thioladipate to provide a five-membered ring gives only 26% yield. Neither alkylation of ethyl thiolacetate nor a Michael-type adduct ...
