A Novel Synthesis of Thiocarboxylic S-Esters from 1-(Acylthio)ethaniminium Halides and Alkyl Halides Using Liquid-Liquid Phase-Transfer Catalysis

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1988-27595

S-Alkyl, S-benzyl, and S-(2-alkenyl) thiocarboxylates are prepared in good yields by acylation of thioacetamide with acyl halides and reaction of the resultant 1-(acylthio)ethaniminium halides with alkyl halides under liquid-liquid phase-transfer conditions.
