Some reactions of soft electrophiles with esters and other compounds containing the thiocarbonyl group
Abstract
The reaction of a number of easily prepared hydroxy-derivatives containing the thiocarbonyl or selenocarbonyl group with soft electrophilic reagents has been studied. The products are derivatives with carbon bonded to the anionic fragment of the electrophile. The reactions occur under mild, neutral conditions and, in appropriate cases, afford good yields.
