The electrochemical oxidation of aryl- and alkylthio derivatives of mucochloric acid (3,4-dichloro-5-hydroxyfuran-2(5H)-one) in MeCN-Bu 4NBF4 (0.1 mol L-1) was investigated. It was shown that all sulfides are electrochemically ...

Mucochloric acid reacted with 2-sulfanylethanol in the presence of triethylamine to give 3-chloro-5-hydroxy-4-(2-hydroxyethylsulfanyl)furan-2(5H)- one which underwent acid-catalyzed cyclization to 7-chloro-2,3,4a,6- ...

Stable reaction products of mucochloric acid with aromatic and heterocyclic thiols were synthesized and characterized. Under basic conditions the reactions proceeded with the substitution of the chlorine atom(s) by ...
