Kn. Gurudutt et al., NUCLEOPHILIC-SUBSTITUTION OF S(N)1-ACTIVE HALIDES USING ZINC SALTS - PREPARATION OF THIOLACETATES, Tetrahedron, 51(10), 1995, pp. 3045-3050
Tertiary alkyl, allylic and benzylic halides react with zinc thiolacet
ate, prepared in situ, under optimised conditions to yield the corresp
onding thiolacetates in moderate to good yields.
