Hypervalent Iodine(III)-Mediated Regioselective N-Acylation of 1,3-Disubstituted Thioureas
摘要:
Reaction of asymmetrical 1,3-disubstituted thioureas with diacetoxyiodobenzene (DIB) produces regioselectively N-acetylurea in shorter time. Regioselectivity is dependent on the pK(a)'s of the amine attached to the thiourea moiety with acylation taking place toward the an-tine having a lower pK(a). This is the first example of DIB being employed as an N-acetylating agent. A mechanism for this novel transformation is also proposed. Mild reaction conditions, shorter reaction times, high efficiencies, environmentally benign methods, and facile isolation of the desired product make the present methodology a most suitable alternative.
N-acetylureas were synthesised regioselectivelyfrom 1,3-disubstituted selenoureas and zinc acetate. Regioselectivity was dependent on the pKa of the amine attached to the selenourea and occurred towards the amine with the lower pKa. The approach provided a simple, mild and efficient way to construct various N-acetylureas regioselectively in moderate to good yields (53–88%). A plausible mechanism was
An effective method was explored for the one-potsynthesis of N-acylated urea derivatives by the reaction of substituted isothiocyanatobenzenes, primary amines and PIDA (phenyliodine (III) diacetate) in one-pot manner. Mild reaction conditions, short reaction time, high efficiency and readily accessible materials are the features of this method, making suitable and alternative for the preparation of

A highly efficient method for the N-acylation of both symmetrical and unsymmetrical thioureas by the use of lead (II) salts and triethylamine has been achieved. The reaction gives regioselective N-acylated product for unsymmetrical thiourea. For unsymmetrical thiuourea, regioselective N-acylation takes place towards the amine having lower pKa. A linear correlation between the pKas of the amines and the regioselective N-acylation is found. Another attractive feature of this transformation is that lead sulfide, which is important to material science, is obtained as a side product (nanocubes of 20nm).
