Here we report a convenient synthesis of thionoesters by base-catalyzed transesterification. Benzyl and alkyl thionobenzoates and thionoheterobenzoates were efficiently prepared using various alcohols catalyzed by the corresponding sodium alkoxide. This methodology features a broad substrate scope, good to excellent yields, short reaction times, while simultaneously driving the reaction toward completion through the removal of the methanol byproduct. We also report the conversion of a small collection of thionobenzoates into the corresponding α,α-difluorobenzyl ethers to demonstrate the conversion of alcohols into difluorobenzyl or difluoroheterobenzyl ethers, a process that could prove useful for lead optimization in medicinal chemistry.
