The α-hydroxyketene dithioacetals 2 and 5, obtained from α-oxoketene dithioacetals by the 1,2-reduction or the 1,2-addition of carbon nucleophiles, on treatment with Lawesson's reagent afforded α,β-unsaturated dithioesters 3 and 6 in good yields. Georg Th

A new highly stereoselective and regiospecific general method for the conversion of active methylene ketones to α,β-unsaturated O-methyl esters, S-methyl esters, and aldehydes via the corresponding oxoketene dithioacetals has been developed.Thus the carbinols 7a-g obtained by sodium borohydride reduction of the corresponding oxoketene dithioacetals 6a-g, derived from acetophenones and their higher homologues, have been shown to undergo boron trifluoride etherate assisted methanolysis to give the corresponding (E)-methylcinnamates 3a-d and their α-alkyl derivatives 3e-g in high yields.Also the acetals 6h-k derived from alkylmethyl ketones gave the corresponding (E)-methylcrotonates 3h-k.Similarly, the acetals 6l-p derived from alicyclic ketones gave the corresponding cyclic ene esters 3l-p under identical conditions.A few carbinols, 7a-d, were shown to undergo partial hydrolysis in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate/water to give the corresponding S-methyl thiocinnamates 8a-d.The cyclic acetals 6l-n were also similarly converted to the corresponding cyclic S-methylene thio esters 8e-g.The (methylthio)alkenyl ketones 20a-d and 18 after borohydride reduction and acidic hydrolysis gave the corresponding (E)-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes 22a-d and 19.The mechanism governing these transformations has been proposed.
