Abstract
Abstract Treatment of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfides with a carboxylic acid chloride and AgBF 4 in CH 2 Cl 2 furnishes the corresponding thioesters in high yields and purities. The conversion of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfides into synthetically versatile thioesters allows such sulfides to be used as sulfhydryl protective groups, since such sulfides are easily prepared and are stable towards many reaction conditions encountered in organic syntheses.
