Abstract
Reaction of 2-hydroxyacetophenone (5) with excess thionyl chloride in the presence of a catalytic amount of pyridine at room temperature afforded a thiirane 6, while 2-hydroxy-4-methoxyacetophenone (7) furnished 8 when subjected to almost identical conditions. The products were characterized by microanalyses data and spectroscopic techniques including the mass spectroscopy. Plausible mechanisms for the conversions have been proposed in the light of available literature.
