Abstract

It has been found that the reactions of sulfoxides bearing hydrogen (s) at the α-position (R 1 SOCHR 2 R 3: R 1= alkyl or Ph; R 2= H, alkyl, or Ph; R 3= H or Me) with thiols (R 4 SH: R 4= alkyl or aryl) in the presence of the (diisopropylamino) magnesium reagent, generated in situ from the reaction of ethylmagnesium bromide and diisopropylamine, in diethyl ether gave unsymmetrical dithioacetals (R 1 SCR 2 R 3 SR 4) in isolated yields ranging from 44 to 91 ...
