title: Highly chemoselective oxidation of dithioester enethiolates to sulfenates: application to the synthesis of ketene dithioacetal s-oxides.
abstract: Enethiolates derived from dithioesters were efficiently converted into the corresponding vinyl sulfenates by oxidation with a unique N-sulfonyloxaziridine 1a derived from pinacolone. Subsequent alkylation with alkyl halides led to ketene dithioacetal S-oxides in good to excellent yields.
