An efficient aqueous synthesis of thioamides through aldehydes, sodium sulfide, and N-substituted formamides has been developed. Both alkyl and aryl aldehydes are amenable to this protocol. N-Substituted formamides are essential for this transformation. Readily available inorganic salt (sodium sulfide) serves as the sulfur source in water, which makes this method much more practical and efficient.

Sequential organocatalytic additions of 2-furanone and dihydroxyacetone derivatives to a crotonaldehyde lynchpin provide polyhydroxylated chains reminiscent of lactonized deoxo Kdn type sugars. Further homologation via Kulinkovich ringopening of the butyrolactone and acylation of the zinc homoenolate derived from the incipient cyclopropanol allows assembly of functionalized chain precursors to portimine

unstable imidoyl bromide adduct. Subsequent in situ cyclization under Heck conditions generated a stable prototropic isomer of 2-acetyl-3-methylpyrrole. The reactivity of this molecule toward acids, bases, and oxidants was explored, and its conversion into an α-methylidene γ-lactam was demonstrated. In protonated form, the molecule functioned as a reactive dienophile in Diels–Alder reactions.

Secondary acyclic formamide serves as an efficient nucleophile to nitroalkenes to give corresponding Michael adducts in good yields. The nitro group in the adducts was useful for further heterocyclic synthesis. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
