Ligand exchange reaction of sulfoxides in organic synthesis: A novel method for generation of magnesium enolates and its application to synthesis of [α]- …
A new method for synthesis of α-halo (C1, F) carboxylic acid derivatives and α- haloaldehydes is described. α-Halo-α-sulfinyl carboxylic acid, esters, and α-halo-α-sulfinyl aldehydes were easily prepared from aryl l-haloalkyl sulfoxides and alkyl chloroformate and ethyl formate, respectively, in good yields. α-Chloro-α-sulfinyl amides were synthesized from (p-tolylthio) acetic acid. Ligand exchange reaction of the sulfinyl group of these acids, ...
