Abstract
O-Ethyl S-phenacyl dithiocarbonate (I) and its S-acetonyl analogue (III) are converted respectively into O-ethyl-(benzoyl)thioacetate (II) and acetothioacetate (IV) by sulphide contraction. Keto–enol equilibria and alkylation of the anions of these β-oxo-thionesters have been investigated briefly.
