Abstract

Abstract: Treating bis (tricyclohexy1tin) sulfide with boron trichloride in the presence of a carbonyl-containing compound converts the carbonyl unit into its corresponding thiocarbonyl analogue in high yield. Using this technique, several examples of thioaldehydes, thioketones, thiolactones, and thiolactams were prepared. This potent new sulfurating method is efficient even with highly hindered ketones such as di-tert-butyl ...
