• was then effected by first treating the thiolactam with ethyl bromoacetate, after which reaction of the resulting S-alkylated intermediate with triethyl phosphite and triethylamine in acetonitrile gave the vinylogous urethane (+)-28 in 75% yield. At this stage, however, our fears of the discrepant

In this communication we would like to report on the ability of halocarboxylate anions to act as leaving groups in the reactions of 3-(haloacyloxy)-quinoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones with triethyl phosphite to afford 8 and 9, the products of the Perkow
