SYNTHESIS OF 1-METHOXY-2-OXOALKYL PHENYL SULFIDES AND THEIR SYNTHETIC APPLICATION TO 3-SUBSTITUTED FURANS
1-Methoxy-2-oxoalkyl phenyl sulfides were newly synthesized from methoxy(phenylthio)methane and various N,N-dimethylalkanamides.Synthetic application of the compounds thus obtained to several 3-substituted furans also is reported.
