Abstract
Methylthiomethyl esters of alpha,beta-unsaturated acids 2 were converted into the corresponding ketene acetals 3 by O-silylation. Ketene acetals rearranged in refluxing toluene to give, after methanolysis, the corresponding gamma-methylthiomethyl substituted methyl esters 4. In the case of phenylthiomethylesters the products of alpha-substitution were observed. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
