To expand the toolbox of dynamic covalent and systems chemistry, we investigated the acid-catalyzed exchange reaction of trithioorthoesters with thiols. We found that trithioorthoester exchange occurs readily in various solvents in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of strong Bronsted acids or catalytic amounts of certain Lewis acids. The scope of the exchange reaction was explored with various substrates, and conditions were identified that permit clean metathesis reactions between two different trithioorthoesters. One distinct advantage of S, S, S-orthoester exchange over O, O, O-orthoester exchange is that the exchange reaction can kinetically outcompete hydrolysis, thereby making the process less sensitive to residual moisture. We expect that the relatively high stability of the products might be beneficial in future supramolecular receptors or porous materials.

Reaction of trithiocarbonates with meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in CH2Cl2 at 0°C affords the corresponding S-oxides. These sulfines are relatively stable comppounds which can be purified by chromatography. They react readily with organolithiums in THF at -78°C in a thiophilic manner to give carbanions which are stabilized by three sulfur groups. Hydrolysis affords trithioorthoester oxides. The thermal behaviour of these hindered products has been investigated and new rearrangenrent processes have been evidenced. The former carbanions are soft nucleophiles: 1,4-addition of these intermediates to α-enones was achieved selectively to lead to β-oxo ketenedithioacetals, which are easily transformed into 4-oxoalkanethioates. This 'Umpolung' route allows the formal use of the (alkylthio)carbonyl anion. A thiophilic addition was also observed with allylsilanes in the presence of n-Bu4NF furnishing allyl sulfoxides.
