-;~ 15 The 4-chloro-4-chloromethyloxe-tan-2-one starting material can be produced in a simple manner according to published European Patent Application 60~808 and after flash distillation can be used for the conversion according to the invention.
The hydrogen sulfide is conveniently used in gaseous .
form.
; As suitable amines, advantageously primary, secondary or tertiary amines, ammonia and also guanidine can be used.
Tertiary amines, such as triethylamine, are particularly advantageous.
The reaction is conveniently carried out in a solvent or solvents. As compared to the reactive educt, ~,' i4~2 inert solvents such as halogenated hydrocarbons, ether or carboxylic acid esters are used. For example, methylene chloride, chloroform, ethereal solvents, such ac, tetra-hydrofuran, and also acetic acid ester can be used. ParticuS larly preferred, ~lowever, as the solvent is tetrahydrofuran.
The educts are used effectively in a mole ratio of 4-chloro-4-chloromethyloxetan-2-one -to hydrogen sulfide to amine of from 1~ 2 to 1:4:3, and preferably between 2.5:2 and 1-3.5:2.5.
Preferably the reaction lS operated at a temperature of from 0 to -~0C., m~re preferably between -10 and -25C.
Effectively, the method proceeds in such a way that the educt solution is saturated with the hydrogen sulfide and the amine is added subsequently over a period of 30 to 120 minutes.
After complete addition of the amine, the processing of the -thiotetronic acid can take place by filtering off the precipitated salt and ~ubsequently concentrating the solu-tion. For the separation of small quan-tities of dimeric anhydrothiotetronic acid, the residue can be absorbed in ethereal solvents, such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran (THF) or dioxane, preferably in diethyl ether, and can be filtered by way of an absorption agent, such as silica gel.
After renewed concentration by evaporation of the solvent, the thiotetronic acid is ob-tained in crys-talline form and in good yield.
After recrystallization in an aromatic hydrocarbon, i , \

preferably in toluene, the thiotetronic acid is subjected -to additional purification.
In order to obtain a -thio-te-tronic acid of good quality, -the method can proceed in such a way that, af-ter the addi-tion of the amine, wi-thout isolation of the crude thiotetronic acid, the lat-ter is -treat~d in solution with ketene at a temperature of -lO to +5C., advantageously 0C. Based on one mole of 4-chloro-4-chloromethyloxe-tan-2-one used, ketene is effectively used in a quantity of 2 to 4 moles, preferably 2.5 to 3.5 moles.

wherein each R is CH3C-, results. The 2,4-diacetoxythiophene can also be purified by distil1ation in a simple manner.
By treatlng the 2,4-diacetoxythiophene with a non-oxidizing inorganic mineral acidr pure thiotetronic acid is obtained. Hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, preferably hydrochloric acid, can be used in aqueous solu-tion in a concentration of lO to 30 percent. The conversion temperature is generally between 0 ana 30C., preferably ; 25 15 to 25C. The reaction time can be 2 to 5 hours.

The residue was subjected to high vacuum distilla-tion. 13.7 g of 2,4-diacetoxythiophene was obtained, content 95.6 percent, b.p.o 25 105C., which corresponded -to 13.1 g of lOO:percent produc-t ~yield 65.2 " percent)~

In order to obtain a -thio-te-tronic acid of good quality, -the method can proceed in such a way that, af-ter the addi-tion of the amine, wi-thout isolation of the crude thiotetronic acid, the lat-ter is -treat~d in solution with ketene at a temperature of -lO to +5C., advantageously 0C. Based on one mole of 4-chloro-4-chloromethyloxe-tan-2-one used, ketene is effectively used in a quantity of 2 to 4 moles, preferably 2.5 to 3.5 moles.
; In the course of the process according to the invention, the novel intermediate compound 2,4-diacetoxy-thiophene having the formula: RO

wherein each R is CH3C-, results. The 2,4-diacetoxythiophene can also be purified by distil1ation in a simple manner.
By treatlng the 2,4-diacetoxythiophene with a non-oxidizing inorganic mineral acidr pure thiotetronic acid is obtained. Hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, preferably hydrochloric acid, can be used in aqueous solu-tion in a concentration of lO to 30 percent. The conversion temperature is generally between 0 ana 30C., preferably ; 25 15 to 25C. The reaction time can be 2 to 5 hours.

The following Examples illustxate the invention.
EXhMPLE i 15~5 g (0.091 mole) of 4-chloro-4-chloromethyloxe-tan-2-one was co~l~ed to -20C~ in 300 ml of tetrahydrofurane and was satu~a-ted with gaseous hydrogen sulfide. Subsequently, a solution of 20~2 g (0.2 mole) of triethylamine in 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise at -15C. ov~
a period of one hour~ The temperature of the reaction solu-tion was allowed to rise to ambien-t temperature, the solution ; 15 was filtered off from the salt obtained and the solvent -~ was evaporated on a rotation evaporator. The residue was flltered thr~ugh a column filled with silica gel, using 300 ml of ether as eluent~ 9~0 g of a yellow colored crystal-line product having a melting point of I15 to 117C~ was obtained. The content (HPLC) amounted to 89.3 percent.
This corresponds to 8.0 g of lOO percent product = 75~7 percent yield. 7~5 g of the crude thiotetxonic acid was recrystallized hot from 350 ml of toluene. 6.6. g of pale rose-colored microcrystalline product having a melting point of 120C and a content ~HPLC) of 96 percen-t was ob-tained.
This corresponded to 6.3 g of 100 percent produc-t - 94 percent yield or 71~2 percent based on the oxe-tanone used~

Thio-te-tronic acid was produced as described in Example 1. However, the thiotetronic acid was no-t i.solated but -the -te-trahydrofuran (THF) solution was concentrated to 50 ml and over a period of one hour 0.3 mole of ketene was fed in-to this solu-tion ak O~C. Subsequently,~-the temperature of the reac-tion so.lution was allowed.to rise to ambient temperature and the solvent was distilled.off using a ro-tation evaporator. The residue was subjected to high vacuum distilla-tion. 13.7 g of 2,4-diacetoxythiophene was obtained, content 95.6 percent, b.p.o 25 105C., which corresponded -to 13.1 g of lOO:percent produc-t ~yield 65.2 " percent)~
