Transition metal free synthesis of multifunctional thiomethylated-benzenes from aryl/heteroaryl/cyclopropyl methyl ketones

A base-promoted strategic synthesis of various functionalized thiomethylated-benzenes has been established from aryl/heteroaryl/cyclopropyl methyl ketone. We can directly access the thiomethylated-benzene nucleus embedded with diverse functional group by

Synthesis of 2,4,5-Trisubstituted Oxazoles with Complementary Regioselectivity from α-Oxoketene Dithioacetals and β-(Methylthio)-β-(het)aryl-2-propenones

An efficient protocol for the synthesis of 2,5-substituted 4-acyloxazoles and the related 2,4-substituted 5-acyloxazoles with complementary regioselectivity from the corresponding α-oxoketene dithioacetals or β-(het)aryl/(methylthio)enone precursors has been reported. In the first protocol, the α-oxoketene dithioacetals or β-(methylthio)enones were converted to the corresponding α-bromo-β-(methylthio)enones followed by copper catalyzed inter/intramolecular annulation of these intermediates with various primary amides affording 2-(het)aryl/alkyl-4-(het)aroyl-5-(methylthio)/(het)aryloxazoles via concomitant formation of the C4-N and C5-O bond via enamide intermediates. In the second approach, the starting α-oxoketene dithioacetals or β-(methylthio)-β-(het)arylenones were subjected to base induced conjugate addition-elimination with various primary amides to furnish β-aroylenamides, which, on subsequent iodine catalyzed intramolecular oxidative C-H functionalization/C-O bond formation, afforded the corresponding regioisomeric 2-(het)aryl/alkyl-4-(methylthio)/(het)aryl-5-(het)aroyloxazoles in excellent yields. The methodology has also been extended for the synthesis of regioisomeric 4- or 5-aminooxazoles and 4- or 5-(n-butyl)oxazoles from the corresponding 4- or 5-(methylthio)oxazoles.

Synthesis of 2,6-Disubstituted Pyridines, Polypyridinyls, and Annulated Pyridines

1,5-Enediones containing a variety of substituents in the 1,5-positions are formed in good yields by the reaction of methyl ketone enolates, generated with potassium tert-butoxide, with α-oxoketene dithioacetals, the latter being prepared from alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, or heteryl methyl ketones, NaH, CS2, and CH3I.Ring closure of the 1,5-enediones with NH4OAc gave 2,6-disubstituted 4-(methylthio)pyridines in good to excellent yields.This procedure is particularly suited for the synthesis of 2,6-diheterylpyridines and provides a simple synthesis of terpyridinyl and other oligopyridines.The methylthio groups in the α-oxoketene dithioacetals may be oxidized to the mono- and disulfoxides with m-chloroperbenzoic acid, but with excess peracid, in addition to oxidation to the disulfone, epoxidation of the double bond also occurs.The pyridine 4-methylthio substituent may also be oxidized to the sulfoxide and to the sulfone, and the latter may be displaced with cyanide ion to form the corresponding 4-carbonitrile.
