Abstract

The utilization of 2-acyloxy-3-phenylthiopropionitriles (2) which were prepared by the Michael addition of thiophenol to 2-acyloxyacrylonitriles (CH 2= C (CN) OCOR), as a formylcarbonium ion synthon, was demonstrated by the transformation of 2 into S- phenylcysteine and 2-phenylthio enamines.
