Trans-acetalization of the methyl acetal of 3-methyl-4-(phenylthio)-but-2-enal in acidic medium leads to the expected trans-acetals or their γ-elimination products (i.e. 4-alkoxy-2-methyl-1-(phenylthio)buta-1,3-dienes ), depending on the nature of the selected alcohol. Both types of compounds may be easily oxidized into the expected sulfoxides . The menthyloxy and phenyl-8-menthyloxy sulfides and sulfoxides
3-甲基-4-(苯
硫基)-丁-2-烯醛的甲基
缩醛在酸性介质中的反
缩醛化反应可产生预期的反
缩醛或它们的γ消除产物(即4-烷氧基-2-甲基-1 -(苯
硫基)丁1,3-二烯),具体取决于所选醇的性质。两种化合物都容易被氧化成预期的亚砜。已经制备了薄荷氧基和苯基-8-薄荷氧基
硫化物和亚砜。
