4o, 4b, 4c 5o, R= CH3 (547o) 5b, R= CH3CH2 (55%) 5c, R=(CH3) 2CH (30%) acetate (4a)
and thiopropionate (4b, 71%) were prepared by ferric chloride catalyzed sulfhydrolysis of
ethyl ortho-acetate and orthopropionate. 9 Reaction of isobutyronitrile imino ether
hydrochloride10 with hydrogen sulfide in quinoline11* gave O-methyl thioisobutyrate (4c) in

The alkyl series of A-alkylthiohydroxamic acids 5a-c was obtained by thioacylation of A-methyl-hydroxylamine withthio esters 4a-c in methanol at room temperature for 4.5-48 h. 118, 12 S-Alkylation of the A-alkylthiohydroxamic acids was accomplished by reaction with 3 equiv of methyl iodide (3)(a) Lee, T.
