The triethylamin-mediated addition of 2-aminoethanethiol hydrochloride to chalcone analogs was investigated. This addition, bearing a 2-thienyl group at the 3-position, gave the only addition adduct at room temperature in 3 h, whereas the chalcones bearing the 2-furyl group at the 1-position gave an addition-cyclization product (1, 4-thiazepine) in the same conditions. The effect of the groups to the reaction was investigated by changing the 1- and 3-position groups. The chalcones bearing the 2-thienyl group at the 1-position and the others afforded the mixture of products in different ratio at rt for 0.5-24 h. Moreover, the addition-cyclization products (1,4-thiazepine) were obtained under reflux conditions in 36 h. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, infrared, and elemental analysis.

The electrophilic nature of chalcones (1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-ones) and many other α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is crucial for their biological activity, which is often based on thiol-mediated regulation processes. To better predict their biological activity a simple screening assay for the assessment of the second-order rate constants (k2) in thia-Michael additions was developed. Hence, a clear structure-activity relationship of 16 differentially decorated hydroxy-alkoxychalcones upon addition of cysteamine could be established. Moreover, amongst other naturally occurring α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds k2 values for curcumin and cinnamaldehyde were gained while cinnamic acids or esters gave no or very slow reactions.
