Abstract

Abstract A new method for the conversion of trichloromethyl compounds into the corresponding thiolacetates by treatment with sodium thiolacetate in the presence of thiolacetic acid is described. This transformation proceeds at room temperature in high yield when a strong electron-withdrawing substituent is attached to the trichloromethyl group.
