Abstract

Abstract It was found that ketones were prepared in excellent yields by the reaction of Grignard reagents with S-(2-pyridyl) thioates and their analogues or with 2-pyridyl esters. The mechanism of this reaction was also discussed. This useful method for the preparation of ketones was successfully applied to the syntheses of cis-jasmone and dihydrojasmone.
