Asymmetric synthesis of tertiary thiols and thioethers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Enantiomerically pure tertiary thiols provide a major synthetic challenge, and despite the importance of chiral sulfur-containing compounds in biological and medicinal chemistry, surprisingly few effective methods are suitable for the asymmetric synthesis of tertiary thiols. This review details the most practical of the methods available.

Synthesis of thioethers via metal-free reductive coupling of tosylhydrazones with thiols.
A metal-free procedure for the synthesis of thioethers is described via the base-promoted reductive coupling of tosylhydrazones with thiols through an insertion of a carbene into the S-H bond.

A Lewis acid (Ag(I), Ni(II), or Fe(II)) catalyzed, Cu(II)-mediated thiolation reaction between heteroarenes and thiols was achieved with good yield under base-free conditions. DMSO could serve as an effective methylthiolation reagent for the synthesis of heterocyclic methyl thioethers.
متن کاملAsymmetric Synthesis of Tertiary Alcohols and Thiols via Nonstabilized Tertiary α‐Oxy‐ and α‐Thio‐Substituted Organolithium Species
Nonstabilized α-O-substituted tertiary organolithium species are difficult to generate, and the α-S-substituted analogues are configurationally unstable. We now report that they can both be generated easily and trapped with a range of electrophiles with high enantioselectivity, providing ready access to a range of enantioenriched tertiary alcohols and thiols. The configurational stability of th...
متن کاملConvenient and robust one-pot synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical benzyl thioethers from benzyl halides using thiourea
A series of symmetrical and unsymmetrical benzyl thioethers have been synthesised using a onepot reaction from benzyl halides and thiourea. This procedure avoids the isolation or handling of malodorous thiols and generates high yields of benzyl thioethers in excellent purity.

Phosphine-catalyzed highly enantioselective g-additions of 5H-thiazol-4-ones and 5H-oxazol-4-ones to allenoates have been developed for the first time. With the employment of amino-acid derived bifunctional phosphines, a wide range of substituted 5H-thiazol-4-one and 5H-oxazol-4-one derivatives bearing heteroatom (S or O)-containing tertiary chiral centers were constructed in high yields and ex...
