Synthesis of dithioesters

Recent Literature


Selective addition reactions of various monothiocarboxylic acids to the ynamide MYTsA furnish α-thioacyloxyenamides. A subsequent transesterification with alcohols or thiols affords thionoesters and dithioesters, respectively. The method offers broad substrate scope, mild reaction conditions, and good yields.
