Abstract

The thioester was added rapidly to the preformed copper (1) reagent. Reactions were quenched at the stated temperature by dropwise addition of aq NH, Cl.* Yield after distillation unless otherwise noted. c Satisfactory infrared, nmr, and mass spectral analyses were obtained. All thioesters in this report were prepared in essentially quantitative yield from the corresponding acid chloride and 1 equiv of thiol in ether in the presence of 1 to 2 ...
