Abstract
A novel route has been developed for the direct synthesis of the hitherto unknown a-ketodithioacid. Benzaldehyde has been treated with carbon disulphide in the presence of potassium cyanide, thereby making the intermediate carbanion Ph-C(OH)CN to add on to carbon disulphide eventually leading to the a-ketodithioacid. The methyl and ω-carboxypropyl esters of this acid have also been prepared. © 1980 Indian Academy of Sciences.
