Abstract

Method A involves the reaction between the carboxylic acid dissolved in aqueous potassium hydroxide and reagent I. which constitutes the organic phase. The reactions were performed with vigorous stirring at various temperatures (25~ 90" C) and for varying reaction times (10 min 311). Under the conditions selected (reported in detail in the Table) S. 5-dimethyl and SS~ diethyl dithiocarbonates gave positive results with all of the oz,/3-unsaturated ...
