In the presence of catalytic amounts of RhH(PPh3)4, 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), and dimethyl disulfide, ketones without α-activating groups were α-methylthiolated with 1,2-diphenyl-2-methylthio-1-ethanone giving α-methylthio ketones. The reaction of unsymmetrical ketones proceeded at the more substituted carbons. The initial formation of kinetic α-methylthiolated products followed by their rearrangement to thermodynamic products was observed in the reaction of α-phenyl ketones. Aldehydes, phenylacetate, and phenylacetonitrile were also α-methylthiolated under these conditions.

The sulfenylation-dehydrosulfenylation method, combined with carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, has been applied to the synthesis of some α-functionalized cyclohexenones 3.Hence, the sodium anion of the 2-methylthiocyclohexanone in THF reacts with primary, allyl and benzyl halides as well as with Michael acceptors to lead to the tertiary ketosulfides 1a-j.Further oxidation by NaIO4 and thermolysis in boiling toluene of the resulting sulfoxides 2 have been performed.The scope and limitations of this strategy are also discussed. Key Words: α-functionalized cyclohexenones; tertiary ketosulfides and ketosulfoxides; sulfenylation and deshydrosulfenylation; thermolysis.
