3-Bromo-2-pyrone reacts with dimethylcopperlithium and then with p-tolyl p-toluenethiosulfonate to form 3-p-toluenethio-2-pyrone.Organocopper species are likely intermediates in this reaction.Oxidation of the sulfide produces (+/-)-3-p-toluenesulfinyl-2-pyrone.The overall process involves an important and useful umpolung, a reversal of reactivity at C(3) of the pyrone ring from an electrophilic center to a nucleophilic center.
