Abstract

A novel two-step procedure for one-carbon homologation of methylesters to esters, thioesters, carboxylic acids and amides is described. Methylesters are reacted with lithium carbanion of chloromethyl phenyl sulfoxide to give α-chloro α-sulfinyl ketones in 70 to 90% yields. Potassium enolate of the α-chloro α-sulfinyl ketone was treated with tert-butyllithium at− 78° C to give alkynolate via alkylidene carbenoid. This intermediate was treated with ...
