An investigation into the comparative reactivity of simple beta-lactones and beta-thiolactones toward a thiol and a primary amine is reported. A simple 3-mercaptomethyl-2-oxetanone is found to undergo rearrangement in the presence of aqueous base to give the corresponding thietane-3-carboxylic acid rather than the 3-hydroxymethyl-2-thietanone. Implications for the use of beta-thiolactones in bioorganic and medicinal chemistry are discussed.
