Abstract
Abstract α-hydroxycarboxylic esters are generally available by the methode of D. Seebach2), by reacting aldehydes with the carbanions of trithioorthoformic esters. An important and quite often limiting step in this procedure is the solvolysis of the trithioorthoesters, mainly done by prolonged refluxing a solution of the α- hydroxytrithioorthoesters in the presence of heavy metal salts3).
