A simple and novel eco-friendly process for the synthesis of cyclic dithiocarbonates from epoxides and carbon disulfide in water

The reaction of oxiranes with carbon disulfide for preparation of cyclic dithiocarbonates was carried out in water under catalytic amount of an organic base such as dimethylaminopyridine or triethylamine. The reaction conditions are simple and give high y

Photo-Difunctionalization and Photo-Oxidative Cleavage of the C–C Double Bond of Styrenes in the Presence of Nanosized Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) as a Highly Efficient Photo-Induced Reusable Nanocatalyst

The synthesis of cyclic dithiocarbonates via photo-difunctionalization of the C–C double bond of styrene and aryl aldehydes via photo-oxidative cleavage of the C–C double bond of styrene was accomplished in the presence of CdS NPs at room temperature in air atmosphere under visible light irradiation without using any external oxidant. Some of the special advantages of these processes are the use of CdS NPs as a simple, accessible, safe, and visible-light-induced reusable catalyst, as well as the use of air as an easily attainable, inexpensive, and harmless oxidant, styrene as a readily accessible substrate, and visible-light as a renewable and safe energy source.

Atom economical synthesis of di- and trithiocarbonates by the lithium: Tert -butoxide catalyzed addition of carbon disulfide to epoxides and thiiranes

Alkali metal alkoxides were studied as catalysts for the addition of CS2 to epoxides. A screening of several commercially available alkoxides revealed lithium tert-butoxide as an active and selective catalyst for this reaction. The influence of different reaction parameters as well as the substrate scope under optimized reaction conditions has been studied. Terminal and highly substituted epoxides as well as thiiranes were converted. In total 28 products were prepared and isolated in yields up to 95%. Notably, the reactions were performed under mild conditions without additional solvents. The regio- and stereoselectivity of the reaction has been studied e.g. by converting (R)-styrene and (R)-propylene oxide. Moreover, the test reaction was monitored by 13C NMR and a plausible mechanism for the conversion of terminal and internal epoxides is given. This proposal is in agreement with the observed regio- and stereoselectivity of the reaction.

Organocatalytic one-pot synthesis of functionalized 1,3-oxathiolanes and 1,3-thiazolidines

An efficient organocatalytic approach for the synthesis of 1,3-oxathiolanes and 1,3-thiazolidines is reported. In this methodology, conjugated base of nitromethane was employed as a potential organocatalyst to promote cyclization reaction between strained

Eosin y catalyzed difunctionalization of styrenes using O2 and CS2: A direct access to 1,3-oxathiolane-2-thiones

Visible light promoted straightforward highly regioselective synthesis of 1,3-oxathiolane-2-thiones (cyclic dithiocarbonates) starting directly from styrenes, CS2 and air (O2) is reported. The protocol utilizes eosin Y as an organophotoredox catalyst and clean resources like visible light and air (O2) as sustainable reagents at room temperature in a one-pot procedure. Additionally, the approach is advantageous in terms of step economy as it skips the prefunctionalization of styrenes to oxiranes, which has been inevitable in commonly used syntheses of 1,3-oxathiolane-2-thiones.

Cooperative catalysis with binary Lewis acid-Lewis base system for the coupling of carbon disulfide and epoxides

The cycloaddition of epoxides with carbon disulfide proceeds effectively by using a binary catalyst system of tetradentate Schiff-base aluminum complexes (designated as salenAlX) as Lewis acid in connection with a nucleophilic co-catalyst, such as quatern

Reaction between epoxides and carbon disulfide under hydrotalcite catalysis: Eco compatible synthesis of cyclic dithiocarbonates

Cyclic dithiocarbonates were prepared in good yield and excellent selectivity through an environmental acceptable methodology involving the reaction of substituted epoxides with carbon disulfide under hydrotalcite catalysis. The catalyst can be recovered by filtration and reused several times. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
