Green synthesis of thiiranes from epoxides catalyzed by magnetically separable CuFe2O4/Mg(OH)2 nanocomposite in water under benign conditions

The magnetically separable CuFe2O4/Mg(OH)2 nanocomposite was prepared and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDS, and VSM techniques. The synthesized nanoparticles were used as a new and efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the conversion of various epoxides to the corresponding thiiranes with thiourea in water solvent at room temperature. The reactions were completed within 1–3.7 h to give thiiranes in 70–99% yields. The applied CuFe2O4/Mg(OH)2 nanocomposite was separated easily using an external magnet and reused for several times without any considerable loss of activity.

NBS/DMSO-mediated synthesis of (2,3-dihydrobenzo[b] [1,4]oxathiin-3-yl)methanols from aryloxymethylthiiranes

(2,3-Dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]oxathiin-3-yl)methanols were synthesized via reactions of aryloxymethylthiiranes and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in DMSO under microwave irradiation. The reaction mechanism was proposed as an intramolecular aromatic electrophilic substitution of 1-bromo-2-(aryloxymethyl)thiiran-1-iums, generated from aryloxymethylthiiranes and NBS, and the subsequent DMSO nucleophilic ring opening reaction of thiiran-1-iums followed by the water displacement. The current method provides a direct and simple strategy in the efficient preparation of (2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]oxathiin-3-yl)methanols from readily available aryloxymethylthiiranes.

A green method for solvent-free conversion of epoxides to thiiranes using NH4SCN in the presence of NiFe2O4 and MgFe2O4 magnetic nanocatalysts

Nickel and magnesium ferrite magnetic nanoparticles were fabricated and applied as efficient and reusable catalysts in the solvent-free conversion of various epoxides to the corresponding thiiranes with ammonium thiocyanate under oil bath (60°C) conditions. NiFe2O4 and MgFe2O4 nanoparticles can catalyze the reactions at short times in high to excellent yields. The catalysts can also be recovered easily using an external magnetic field and be reused four times without any significant loss of activity.

Facile synthesis of thietanes via ring expansion of thiiranes

Thietanes are pharmaceutically important cores of some biological compounds and intermediates of organic synthesis. Various thietanes were prepared from thiiranes via ring expansion through a reaction with trimethyloxosulfonium iodide in the presence of sodium hydride. The reaction process is a nucleophilic ring-opening reaction of thiiranes with dimethyloxosulfonium methylide, generated from trimethyloxosulfonium iodide and sodium hydride, and subsequent intramolecular displacement (cyclization) of thiolates to the dimethyloxosulfonium moiety. The current method provides a new strategy for efficient preparation of thietanes from readily available thiiranes.
