Epichlorohydrin and glycidol are transformed in a four step sequence into β-dimethylamino-α-phenylthio-substituted α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds 5, possessing differently O-protected oxymethyl substituents at the carbonyl group. These compounds are of value as intermediates in inverse-type hetero-Diels-Alder reactions.
