Abstract
We have determined the conditions for carrying out the reaction of 4-alkyl-4-hydroxy-2-alkynonitriles containing bulky or spirocyclic substituents with the KSCN-KHSO4 system, leading to 5,5-dialkyl-4-cyanomethylene-1,3-oxathiolan-2-ones in quantitative yield (for this, we had to increase the reaction time and use a 10-fold excess of the hydrothiocyanating system compared with the known conditions). 5,5-Dimethyl-4-cyanomethyl-1,3-oxathiolan-2-one reacts with methanol in the presence of triethylamine (20±2°C), forming 2-cyanomethyl-4-cyanomethylene-2-[(1-methoxycarbonyloxyethyl-1-methyl)]-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dithiolane (yield 90%).
