A reasonable approach to these isomers is oxidation of the corresponding sulfides la and 2a. The Z sulfide 2a has been prepared from dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, 1 but pure E isomer la is not known. We now report the synthesis of the E olefin la as well as two additional means for the preparation of 2a.Newton et al. 1 have already demonstrated that nucleo-philic addition of 1 equiv of benzenethiol to dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate results in an 85: 15 mixture of 2a/la, as determined by NMR. Although this mixture is unseparable both by distillation (thermal isomerization to a 1: 1 mixture occurs) and by column chromatography, saponification of the mixed esters followed by purification of the Z diacid and reesterification does yield 2a free of any contaminating la. 1
