α-Benzoyloxylation of β-keto sulfides at ambient temperature?

RSC Advances Pub Date: 2017-10-20 DOI: 10.1039/C7RA10888E

Abstract

A facile and efficient protocol for the α-benzoyloxylation of β-keto sulfides is presented. This methodology provides a step-economical, mild and practical access to highly functionalized α-O-benzoyloxy substituted β-keto sulfides, including those with quaternary carbons, which are not easily obtained through currently available methods.
