Abstract

1,1-Bis(alkylthio)-2-aroylpenta-1,4-dienes (7a-f) undergo a facile rearrangement in the presence of sodium hydride and dimethylformamide-benzene to give novel (1Z,3E)-1,5-bis(alkylthio)-2-aroylpenta-1,3-dienes (9a-f), respectively. A probable mechanism involving the mobile oxopentadienyl intermediate (12), which on subsequent 1,5-alkylthio shift affords the dienes (9), has been suggested for this highly stereoselective rearrangement. Mechanistic studies have shown that the 1,5-alkylthio shift in this transformation is an intermolecular rather than a concerted process and involves the solvent-equilibriated enolate anion (17) formed by Michael addition of thiolate anion to (12). The synthesis of the ?-allyloxoketene dithioacetals (7a-f) is also described.
