N-t-butanesulfinyl amide: An optimised and versatile access from readily available starting materials
We report the synthesis of t-butanesulfinylphthalimide and its complete regioselective ring opening by a range of nucleophiles. Further treatment of the obtained N-t-butanesulfinyl amides under basic conditions has been shown to give t-butanesulfinamide. Although the involvement of chiral nucleophiles in this process did not allow the isolation of enantiomerically pure t-butanesulfinamide, we have accessed in a rapid and efficient fashion the original compounds bearing two H-bond sites and two chiral centers that shall potentially exhibit some organocatalytic activity by comparison with known structurally related compounds.
Sulfenyl groups are attracting interest as masking/protecting groups for pyrroles. A facile one-step synthesis of sulfenyl pyrroles, involving the reaction of pyrroles with N-(aryl- and alkylthio)phthalimides in the presence of MgBr2, is reported and the methodology extends to include sulfinyl pyrroles. The one-step procedure gives good yields and is more efficient and practical than current multistep protocols to sulfenyl pyrroles that involve thiocyanato pyrrolic intermediates. A convenient procedure for the synthesis of N-(aryl- and alkylthio)phthalimides is also reported. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
