摘要:
Benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl methyl thioether (1), after easy deprotonation by BuLi, reacted with alkyl halides to afford 1-(benzotriazol-1-yl)alkyl methyl thioethers 2 in good yields. The utility of compounds 2 as alkanoyl anion equivalents was demonstrated by the reactions of their anions with alkyl halides, aldehydes, ketones, esters, and phenyl isocyanate: the products were readily hydrolyzed to alpha-functionalized ketones in dilute aqueous acid.
