Reaction of l, 3-bis (methylthio)-2-methoxypropane (5)(easily available in two steps from epichlorohydrin) with lithium diisopropylamide in tetrahydrofuran produces the lithio derivative of the 1, 3-bis (methylthio)-allyl anion (1). The reagent 1 so generated has been shown to serve effectively as the equivalent of the unknown/3-formylvinyl anion by thesynthesis of a number of,/3-unsaturated aldehydes starting with alkyl halides, carbonyl compounds, or 1, 2-epoxides. In the case of the last two substrates a trifunctional y-or-hydroxy,/3-unsaturated aldehyde unit results. This is a unique and useful feature of the new method which has been exploited in a total synthesis of prostaglandin F2a. It is concluded from these studies that the use of the reagent 1 represents a signifi-cant new approach to the synthesis of conjugated aldehydes which should be advantageous in a wide range of syn-thetic problems.
