α,β-Unsaturated thiol esters could be readily prepared via a Wadsworth–Emmons reaction using diethyl alkylthiocarbonylmethylphosphonate, which proved to be superior in reactivity to the corresponding Wittig reagent. Key words: α,β-unsaturated thiol esters, Wadsworth–Emmons reaction.

Michael addition of S,S′-diethyl dithiomalonate to conjugated enones and α,β-unsaturated esters followed by reduction with Raney nickel gave rise to 1,5-ketols and 5-hydroxy esters respectively in good yields.

The first total synthesis of α-costal (1) in racemic form has been achieved in an unequivocal manner whereby the structure previously assigned to the natural aldehyde is confirmed. A salient feature of the synthesis is the use of S-tert-butyl cyanothiolacetate to facilitate the introduction of the labile acrolein unit.
