Isomerization of Trimethyl α-Keto Trithioorthocarboxylates into α,α-Bis(methylthio) Thiolcarboxylates. A New Rearrangement of Synthetic Interest
摘要:
A study was made of the isomerization reaction of a great variety of trimethyl alpha-keto trithioorthocarboxylates to alpha,alpha-bis(methylthio) thiolcarboxylates, intermediates of high synthetic value for the synthesis of alpha-arylpropionic acids. The reaction was carried out In methylene chloride in the presence of catalytic amounts of trityl perchlorate or methanesulfonic acid and was complete in 2 h at rt. In most of the investigated cases the result was positive, the yields usually being greater than 90%. Also the reaction mechanism was subjected to an experimental study.

Sulfoxides bearing thioester and ester groups at the α position under heating at ca. 140°C undergo Pummerer thermal rearrangement. However, for sulfonyl sulfoxide, a complex mixture of products is formed. Plausible mechanism is advanced. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
