Synthesis of gamma-ketosulride derivatives from natural mercaptans
gamma-Ketosulfides and their derivatives gamma-hydroxysulfides, sulfoxides, sulfur-containing 1,3-dioxolanes, and alkylthiooximes were obtained on the basis of natural mercaptans. It was found that gamma-hydroxy- and dihydroxysulfoxides are more stable than the corresponding gamma-keto and diketosufoxides.
