Abstract

Methane-(2), ethane-(3), propane-(4), butane-(5), pentane-(6), hexane-(7), octane-(8), and dodecanesulfiiyl chloride (9) reacted with activated zerovalent zinc to give the corresponding alkanesulfonothioic S-alkyl esters (12-19) in 40-89% yield. The reaction of methanesulfinyl chloride (2) with activated zerovalent zinc under nitrogen in anhydrous diethyl ether at-30,-20, and 0" C was investigated by'H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy. ...
