Reactions of RSH with diketene (1) are highly dependent upon the reaction conditions. Acid‐catalyzed reaction of alkanethiols with (1) leads, like the photo or radical reaction, to the lactone (2) . This could not be deduced from previous findings. (2) reacts with alcohols to give γ‐(alkylthio)crotonic esters.
