Chemistry of 1,3-oxathiolan-5-ones

The textbook "Chemistry of 1,3-oxathiolan-5-ones" offers a comprehensive analysis of the synthesis methods for derivatives of 1,3-oxathiolan-5-ones. It discusses the application of multicomponent domino reactions (MDRs) for the synthesis of novel stereocontrolled mercapto-heterocycles. Additionally, theoretical studies on the newly synthesized compounds are presented. Special attention is given to the reaction behavior of 2-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-oxathiolan-5-one, which acts as an acyl transfer agent. The synthesis methods and the underlying mechanisms are explained in detail, while the structures of the compounds are evaluated through analytical and spectroscopic data.
