The synthesis of acylketene O,S-dialkyl acetals 2a-p and acylketene O-aryl S-alkyl acetals 6a-i is described. The compounds 2a-n are obtained by base-catalyzed alkylation of the respective β-oxo thiono esters 4a-n prepared by alkoxythiocarbonylation of active methylene ketones in the presence of sodium tert-butoxide. The corresponding O-dodecanyl 2o, O-benzyl 2p and O-aryl, S-methyl 6a-i acetals are synthesized via base-catalyzed displacement of the sulfonium salts 5a-b with the corresponding alkanol or phenol.
