The allyl acetates derived from 2-phenylthio-2-cyclopentenone, 2-pheny
lthio-2-cyclohexenone, 2-phenylthio(methyl)]-2-cyclopentenone and 2-[p
henylthio(methyl)]-2-cyclohexenone have been hydrolysed by pig liver a
cetone powder to obtain the corresponding alcohols in optically pure f
orm. palladium catalysed alkylations with diethyl malonate have been f
ound to take place with the allyl acetates having a vinyl sulfide moie
ty whereas 2-phenylthio-2-cyclopentenone and 2-[phenylthio(methyl)]-2-
cyclohexenone are transformed into some highly functionalised sulfur c
ontaining intermediates.
