The thiotetronic ring system is the key intermediate for the synthetic approach to thiolactomycin analogues. A novel one-pot synthesis of the thiotetronic ring system is described. The proposed methodology is based on a C-acylation/cyclization reaction between the N-hydroxysuccinimide esters of S-acetyl-thioglycolic acids and the appropriate active methylene compounds. 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopic data for the synthesized thiotetronic acids and 2-aminothiophenones are presented.
