Abstract

With dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a source of thiomethyl group and NH4I as a promotor, the thiomethylation of α-oxoketene dithioacetals has been achieved to afford thiomethylated α-oxoketene dithioacetals in moderate to good yields. The optimized reaction conditions were established through systematic investigations of solvents, temperature, time, promotors and their dosages in the reaction. The present reaction has advantages of easy availability of starting materials, simple operation, good compatibility of substrates, and metal-free reaction conditions.
