Ethyl (methylthio)acetate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Toluene (30 ml), ethanol (2.39 g, 169.59 mmol) and methylthioacetic acid (15 g, 141.32 mmol) were added into a 100-ml flask in this order at room temperature and then p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (4.03 g, 21.20 mmol) was charged thereto. The solution was gently heated and subjected to reflux dehydration for 3 to 5 hours. After reflux dehydration, the solution was cooled to around room temperature, added with triethylamine (2.86 g, 28. 26 mmol) at room temperature, stirred and then added with silica gel. After stirring for a while, the silica gel was filtered off. After the solvent of the filtrate was removed in vacuum distillation, ethyl methylthioacetate (14.81 g, 78percent) was isolated in distillation.General procedure: To a mixture of S-methyl α-chlorothioacetate, (1.5 g, 12 mmol) potassium carbonate (3.3 g, 24 mmol), tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate (0.41 g, 1.2 mmol) and 10 mL of dichloromethane, cooled by dry ice/ethanol external bath, was added 1.0 mL of methanethiol (17 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min, warmed to 0 C and further stirred at this temperature for 3 h. The resulting mixture was filtered and the filtrate was diluted with dichloromethane (50 mL) and washed with water. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and after the removal of solvent under reduced pressure, the resulting oil (1.2 g) was submitted to distillation at 93–94 C/9 mmHg (Lit.[15] b. p. 85–86C/15 mmHg), yielding 1.0 g (61percent) of colorless liquid.a) General procedure: S-methyl methylsulfinylthioacetate (1) (0.0087 g, 0.057 mmol) was placed into an ampoule that was evacuated and sealed. The sealed ampoule was maintained in an oven heated at 140 C for 45 min. After cooling, the ampoule was broken and the organic content was dissolved in CDCl
