2,2-Bis(ethylthio)ethanenitrile 1 was prepared in high yield from 2,2-bis(ethylthio)ethanal 2.Alkylation of the potassium salt of 1 with various alkylating agents and conjugate addition to cyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones provided high yields of the alkylation products of 1.The potential one and two carbon chain extension capability of this new reagent has been demonstrated.
