ABSTRACT A mixed bases mediated protocol is developed to synthesize thioamides from N-aryl or N-alkylamide, aldehyde and elemental sulfur in water. This reaction requires no addition of external oxidant and avoids large excess of amides. Various functional groups and pharmaceutically interesting heteroaromatic rings could be introduced via this efficient procedure. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Three component reactions of olefins, amines, and sulfur were studied. Thioamidation of styrenes is base-controlled, and 2-phenylethanethioamides and benzothioamides were obtained selectively in the presence of two different bases. This protocol offers a simple and efficient procedure for the synthesis of thioamides.
A metal-free CC bond cleavage reaction of β-nitrostyrenes in the presence of elemental sulfur and secondary amines/amides is described. Elemental sulfur serves as both a raw material and an oxidant for CC bond cleavage, and secondary amines or amides are both feasible nitrogen sources. Besides mild reaction condition and simple work-up procedure, the method provided thioamides with good to excellent
描述了在元素硫和仲胺/酰胺存在下 β-硝基苯乙烯的无金属 C C 键裂解反应。元素硫既是C C 键断裂的原料又是氧化剂,仲胺或酰胺都是可行的氮源。除了温和的反应条件和简单的后处理程序外,该方法还提供了具有良好收率的硫代酰胺。
