Abstract
Summary: Thionoesters which are readily prepared from esters can be desulfurized with Raney nickel to form the corresponding ethers. This new synthetic pathway to convert esters to ethers avoids many of the steric and functional limitations of known methods and appears to be a general method for this conversion.
