Synthesis of α-Haloalkyl Esters from α-Arylthioalkyl Esters

α-Monohaloalkyl esters have been prepared under mild conditions in high yields by selective cleavage of the carbon-sulfur bond in α-phenylthioalkyl esters using sulfuryl chloride or bromine.The intermediate α-phenylthioalkyl esters have been prepared by alkylation of the corresponding carboxylic acids with readily accessible α-haloalkyl phenyl sulphides.

Quantitative Evaluation of the Reactivity of Alkylating Agents

A sensitive and reproducible method for quantitative evaluation of the relative reactivities of alkylating agents was developed, based on competitive alkylation.The method is superior to the known calorimetric methods.The reactivities of the agents could also be correlated with the 13C chemical shifts of the α-methylene.The method was successfully applied for the ranking of "soft" alkylating agents of low reactivity. - Keywords: Alkylating Agents, Soft Drugs, NMR Spectra, Competitive Alkylation, Soft Quaternary Salts
