Abstract
Abstract Boron trifluoride and indium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate were found to efficiently catalyse the isomerisation of thionolactones to thiolactones in good yields. When applied to an optically active γ-thionolactone, the isomerisation reaction proceeded with a complete inversion of configuration by using BF 3 ·Et 2 O.
