Procedure

0.5 mmoles 1-acetoxy-3-methylthiopropene, (Z:E ratio 43:57), and 2.5 mmoles methanol were charged into a 71 cc stainless steel bomb equipped with a glass liner and a Teflon coated stir bar. One mole percent, based on 1-acetoxy-3-methylthiopropene, of a catalyst comprising bis(triphenylphosphine)dichloropalladium, (φ3P)2PdCl2, was added. Toluene was included as an internal standard. Five milliliters of tetrahydrofuran as a solvent were also included in the reaction system. The reaction mixture was charged under argon. The bomb was sealed and carbon monoxide at a pressure of 1000 psi (at room temperature) was charged to the bomb, and the bomb was heated to 120° C. and allowed to react for 44 hours with stirring. At the termination of the reaction, the reaction products were analyzed by gas chromatography and it was found that 2-acetoxy-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid, methyl ester was produced in a yield of 17 percent and that 2-acetoxy-4-(methylthio)thiobutanoic acid, methyl ester was produced in a yield of 12.3 percent, based on the 1-acetoxy-3-methylthiopropene reactant charged. Each of the products is hydrolyzable to methionine hydroxy analog.
