Abstract

A metal free synthesis of S-alkyl thioesters, which does not involve alkylthiol or thiocarboxylic acid as sulfur source is disclosed. The process involves first an acylation at the nitrogen of the readily available N-(2-aminophenyl)-4-methyl-thiazolin-2-thione, second an alkylation at sulfur of the resulting amides and finally a base catalyzed metathetic reaction, which provides under very mild conditions and in high isolated yields the S-alkyl ...
