Abstract

Abstract The reduction of phthalic thioanhydrides with NaBH 4 at between 0 and− 20 C leads to the selective formation of 3-hydroxy-2-thiophthalides, whereas higher temperatures favour the formation of the corresponding phthalide derivatives. A mechanism is proposed that can explain these observations. Kinetic control at low temperatures leads to an improved stability of the intermediate alkoxide, thus allowing isolation of the γ- ...
