- Rhodium-catalyzed α-methylthiolation reaction of unactivated ketones using 1,2-diphenyl-2-methylthio-1-ethanone for the methylthio transfer reagent
-
In the presence of catalytic amounts of RhH(PPh3)4, 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), and dimethyl disulfide, ketones without α-activating groups were α-methylthiolated with 1,2-diphenyl-2-methylthio-1-ethanone giving α-methylthio ketones. The reaction of unsymmetrical ketones proceeded at the more substituted carbons. The initial formation of kinetic α-methylthiolated products followed by their rearrangement to thermodynamic products was observed in the reaction of α-phenyl ketones. Aldehydes, phenylacetate, and phenylacetonitrile were also α-methylthiolated under these conditions.

- Syntheses of Arylacetone and Arylacetonitrile by Friedel-Crafts Reaction with α-Chloro-α-(methylthio)-substituted Acetone and Acetonitrile
-
Novel preparative methods for arylacetone and arylacetonitrile are described.Friedel-Crafts reactions of aromatic compounds with α-chloro-α-(methylthio)acetone (4) and α-chloro-α-(methylthio)acetonitrile (7) in the presence of Lewis acid afforded α-(methylthio)arylacetone (5) and α-(methylthio)arylacetonitrile (8), respectively.Compounds (5) and (8) were converted into the corresponding arylacetone (6) and arylacetonitrile (9) by reduction with zinc dust in acetic acid.Keywords: Friedel-Crafts reaction with α-chloro-α-(methylthio)acetone; Friedel-Crafts reaction with α-chloro-α-(methylthio)acetonitrile; α-(methylthio)arylacetone; α-(methylthio)arylacetonitrile; arylacetone; arylacetonitrile; reductive desulfurization; zinc dust-acetic acid

- Introduction of α-(acyl) methylthiomethyl group into the aromatic ring by Friedel-Crafts reaction
-
Friedel-Crafts α-(acyl)methylthiomethylations of aromatic compounds with α-ethoxycarbonyl, -acetyl, -benzoyl, and -cyano-α-(methylthio)methyl chlorides are described. The resulted products are easily converted to acylmethylated aromatics such as phenylacetate and phenylacetone by reductive desulfurization.
