New, efficient and chemoselective method of thioacylation, starting from carboxylic acidsPresented in part at 13th ICOS, Warsaw 2000, Poland, pp. 139.
Abstract
S-Acylation of dithiophosphoric acids yields mixed anhydrides 3; they readily isomerize to O-thioacyl 4 and S-thioacyl monothiophosphates 5, which treated with the excess of dithiophosphoric acid 2 can be easily converted into thioacyl dithiophosphates 6, excellent thioacylating reagents.
