Benzyl (R)-2-(Acetylthio)Propanoate: A Promising Sulfur Isoster of (R)-Lactic Acid and Ester Precursors

In this paper, an accessible chiral pool synthesis of benzyl (R)-2-(acetylthio)propanoate (acetylthiolactate), which is less odorous than the methyl or ethyl analogue, was performed through a clean SN2 displacement reaction using available AcSK with tris[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)]ethylamine (TDA-1), start...
