A Novel Anionic Domino Process for the Synthesis of o-Cyanoaryl-Methylthio/Alkyl/Aryl/Heteroaryl Acetylenes
摘要:
A novel unexpected anionic domino process involving n-BuLi-induced rearrangement of 3,3-bis(methylthio) or 3-methylthio-3-aryl/heteroaryl/alkyl-o-bromoarylacrylonitriles to o-cyanoarylacetylenes in synthetically useful yields has been reported. The scope and generality of the reaction has been examined, and a possible mechanism has been proposed.

A novel synthesis of 2,3-substituted benzothiophenes is reported, involving a tandem base-mediated condensation of o-iodoarylacetonitriles/acetates/ketones with (hetero)aryldithioesters and an intramolecular C–S bond formation. The reaction affords diversely substituted benzothiophenes and heterofused thiophenes in excellent yields.
