Here we report a convenient synthesis of thionoesters by base-catalyzed transesterification. Benzyl and alkyl thionobenzoates and thionoheterobenzoates were efficiently prepared using various alcohols catalyzed by the corresponding sodium alkoxide. This methodology features a broad substrate scope, good to excellent yields, short reaction times, while simultaneously driving the reaction toward completion
Reaction of carboxylic thionoesters with dimethylaluminium methylselenolate in diethyl ether gave the corresponding Se-methyl thionoselenolesters in 87–98% yield.
