CONVERSION OF LACTONE INTO LACTONE HEMITHIOACETAL AND SYNTHESIS OF ENOL LACTONE

Lactone hemithioacetal was synthesized in good yield from ω-phenylthiocarboxylic acid derived from lactone, and it was converted into enol lactone via the corresponding sulfoxide.

Hard Acid and Soft Nucleophile Systems. 5. Ring-Opening Reaction of Lactones to ω-Alkylthio or ω-Arylthio Carboxylic Acids with Aluminum Halide and Thiol

Lactones were converted into ω-alkylthio carboxylic acids in high yields through ω-carbon-oxygen bond cleavage when they were treated with aluminun halide and alkanethiol.The aluminum halide and arenethiol system has also been found to be useful for the preparation of the synthetically valuable ω-arylthio carboxylic acids from lactones.
