Synthesis of Trimethyl α-Keto Trithioorthoesters and Dimethyl α-Keto Dithioacetals by Reaction of Acyl Chlorides, Anhydrides, Thiol Esters, and N,N-Dimethylamides with [Tris(methylthio)methyl]lithium
ophenone giving α-phenylthio-α-methylthio ketones. The methylthio transfer reaction between the ketone α-positions was reversible and at equilibrium, and the methylthio group was transferred in preference to the phenylthio group. The reaction of tertiary alkyl methylthiomethyl ketones proceeded in high yields; the reaction of diastereomeric 4-(tert-butyl)-2-phenylthiocyclohexanones gave an axial 2-methylthiolated
Synthesis of trimethyl .alpha.-keto trithioorthoesters and dimethyl .alpha.-keto dithioacetals by reaction of esters with tris(methylthio)methyllithium
A complete study has been made of the reaction of tris(methylthio)methyllithium with aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic esters. It is a one-pot reaction that despite its complexity, and depending on the reagent ratios, the reaction conditions, and the possible use of additional reagents (N-(methylthio)phthalimide or BuLi), can supply easily, in excellent and reproducible yields, the trimethyl alpha-keto trithioorthoesters 3 or, alternatively, the dimethyl a-keto dithioacetals 4. The reaction mechanism has been elucidated.
