The bromination of 6-methyl-4-methoxy-2H-thiopyran-2-one.

ABSTRACT

The bromination of 6-methyl-4-methoxy-2H-thiopyran-2-one was studied under ionic and radical conditions. The 6-bromomethyl, respectively 6-dibromomethyl derivatives were hydrolyzed to the corresponding 6-hydroxymethyl and 6-formyl derivatives. The antibacterial and antimycotic activities of the new compounds were tested.
