Abstract

The homopropargylic (di)thiocarbonates (I) undergo reductive cyclization upon reaction with tributyltin hydride and triethylborane, forming the alkylidene-γ-lactones (II).

ChemInform Abstract

The homopropargylic (di)thiocarbonates (I) undergo reductive cyclization upon reaction with tributyltin hydride and triethylborane, forming the alkylidene-γ-lactones (II). The homoallylic dithiocarbonates (III) are analogously converted to the butyrolactones (IV).
