We described herein a selective method to prepare α-organylthio esters and α-organylthio ketones by the reaction of β-keto esters with sodium S-benzyl sulfurothioate or sodium S-alkyl sulfurothioate (Bunte salts) under basic conditions in toluene as the solvent at 100 °C. When 4 equivalents of a base were used, a series of differently substituted α-thio esters were obtained with up to 90% yield. On the other hand, employing 2 equivalents of a base, α-thio ketones were achieved after 18 h under air. Furthermore, after a shorter reaction time, the isolation of keto-enol tautomers was possible, revealing them as significant intermediates for the mechanism elucidation.
Intermolecular carbene S-H insertion catalysed by engineered myoglobin-based catalysts

The first example of a biocatalytic strategy for the synthesis of thioethers via an intermolecular carbene S-H insertion reaction is reported. Engineered variants of sperm whale myoglobin were found to efficiently catalyze this C-S bond forming transformation across a diverse set of aryl and alkyl mercaptan substrates and α-diazoester carbene donors, providing high conversions (60-99%) and high numbers of catalytic turnovers (1100-5400). Furthermore, the enantioselectivity of these biocatalysts could be tuned through mutation of amino acid residues within the distal pocket of the hemoprotein, leading to myoglobin variants capable of supporting asymmetric S-H insertions with up to 49% ee. Rearrangement experiments support a mechanism involving the formation of a sulfonium ylide generated upon attack of the thiol substrate to a heme-bound carbene intermediate. This journal is

A novel method for the introduction of a methyl group into aromatic rings is described.Friedel-Crafts reactions of ethyl α-(chloromethylthio)acetate (3k) and α-chloromethylthio-γ-butyrolactone (3m) with an arene in the presence of stannic chloride gave ethyl α-(arylmethylthio)acetate (6) and α-arylmethylthio-γ-butyrolactone (7), respectively, which were easily converted to the corresponding methylated arene (8) by reductive desulfurization with Raney nickel or zinc dust-acetic acid.Keywords - monomethylation; ethyl α-(chloromethylthio)acetate Friedel-Crafts reaction; α-chloromethylthio-γ-butyrolactone Friedel-Crafts reaction; ethyl α-(arylmethylthio)acetate; α-arylmethylthio-γ-butyrolactone; methylated arene; reductive desulfurization; Raney nickel; zinc dust-acetic acid
