Abstract

Summary: Organolithium compounds which are stabilized by a phenylthio group lose the latter and form cyclopropanone phenylthioketals upon reaction with 1, l-bis-(pheny1thio) ethene; the latter is prepared by copper (1)-induced elimination of thiophenol from l, l, l-tris (phenylthio) ethane, which is in turn generated by the reaction of acetic acid with a reagent formed by the reaction of trimethylaluminum with thiophenol.
