(1-(Diphenylphosphinothioyl)acetonylidene)triphenylphosphorane was synthesized, and in its protonation phosphonium salts are formed which have an enol structure in the solid state, but exist as an equilibrium mixture of keto and enol forms in solution. The methylation of the phosphorane goes at the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group and at the sulfur atom the thiophosphoryl group, and the S-methylation product undergoes intramolecular Wittig reaction under mild conditions. Hydrogen 1 and phosphorus 31 NMR spectra were analyzed to confirm these findings.
