A CONVENIENT METHOD FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF α-PHENYLTHIO-α,β-UNSATURATED KETONE BY STANNOUS TRIFLATE PROMOTED REARRANGEMENT OF α-SULFINYL KETONE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1984.1843

α-Phenylthio-α,β-unsaturated ketones are prepared in fairly good yields on treatment of α-sulfinyl ketone with stannous triflate. α-Phenylthio-α,β-unsaturated cyanides are also prepared from α-sulfinyl cyanides according to the similar procedure.
