Follow-up reactions of (S)-2-acetylthionitriles (S)-2 and (S)-2-benzylthionitriles (S)-4, respectively, are described. (S)-2-Acetylthionitriles were converted via Pinner reaction to ethyl (S)-2-mercaptocarboxylates (S)-3 almost without racemization. Two routes for the stereoselective preparation of 1,2-amino thiols (S)-5 have been investigated. Hydrogenation of (S)-2 with BH 3 .THF gave (S)-5...
Optically active 2-(4-toluenesulfonyloxy)- and (4-nitrobenzenesulfonyloxy)nitriles (R)-3 and (R)-4, which were obtained from (R)-cyanohydrins (R)-2 by sulfonylation, react with sulfur nucleophiles such as potassium thioacetate, potassium ethylxanthogenate, potassium thiocyanate, as well as thioalcohols and thiophenol in a typical S N 2 manner to give the (S)-2-sulfanyl nitriles (S)-7-9 and...
