, p. 49 - 54 (2007/10/02)
An α-alkylation of the 2-methylcycloalkanones 1 and 4 at the higher substituted carbon can be achieved by thioalkylation of the corresponding zinc enolates with the α-chlorosulfides 3.The desulfurization can be carried out with either Raney nickel or lithium in diethylamine for compounds which contain double or triple bonds. Key Words: Zinc enolates, thioalkylation of / Ketones, α,α-disubstituted / Desulfurization
