Abstract

Reactions of Grignard reagents with carbon dioxide are well documented in the literature, and provide a general method for the preparation of carboxylic acids. 1.2 Similarly, dithiocarboxylic acids and esters have been prepared from carbon disulfide. 3 Grignard reagents were reported to react with carbonyl sulfide affording mixtures of thiol acids (9- 73%) and tertiary alcohols (22-52%) in ratios which depend on the Grignard reagent used! ...
