The influence of the ring size of thiolactams in the Eschenmoser coupling reaction in presence of DBU. Formation of bicyclic thiazolidinones or thioimines
摘要:
The different behaviors of pyrrolidin-2-thione and piperidin-2-thione under a modified Eschenmoser sulfur contraction reaction protocol using DBU as base was observed. The pyrrolidin-2-thione lb follows the expected reaction course, leading to thioimines 5a-d. which can be transformed subsequently into the respective by action of a thiophile, while the piperidin-2-thione leads to the formation of bicyclic thiazolidinones 4b-d in moderate to good yields. The -enaminocarbonyl compound 11 was hydrogenated to afford the respective five-membered analogue of methylphenidate 12. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The conditions of the Eschenmoser coupling reaction were studied. The formation of the alpha-thioiminium ion was achieved faster in the presence of an additive (Nal) and dry chloroform as the preferred solvent. The developed conditions were used for the second part of the reaction (the sulfur extrusion itself). The present protocol avoids the formation of byproducts, which were previously described as a major drawback to be overcome. Electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry was used to characterize some aspects (intermediates) of the first step of the reaction mechanism. Some reduction conditions were properly tested and the selected conditions were applied to the synthesis of the natural alkaloid Norallosedamine and other derivatives. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
