Eco-efficient, regioselective and rapid access to 4,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-thiadiazoles via [3 + 2] cycloaddition of α-enolicdithioesters with tosyl azide under solvent-free conditions
Eco-efficient, regioselective and rapid access to 4,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-thiadiazoles via [3 + 2] cycloaddition of α-enolicdithioesters with tosyl azide under solvent-free conditions
An efficient, sustainable, and regioselective one-pot synthesis of hitherto unreported 4-aroyl/hetaroyl/alkanoyl-5-alkyl/allyl/benzylsulfanyl-1,2,3-thiadiazoles has been achieved by [3 + 2] cycloaddition of α-enolicdithioesters with tosyl azide through cascade 1â2 (SâN) and 3â4 (CâN) bond connections involving Wolff-type heterocyclization. Optimally, the reactions are very fast and completed within 2â15 minutes, when a mixture of α-enolicdithioester and tosyl azide was stirred at 0 °C in the presence of Et3N under solvent-free conditions. Furthermore, no co-catalyst or activator is necessary. The eco-compatibility, mild conditions, excellent yields, easy purification, and avoidance of expensive/toxic reagents are advantages of this protocol to access this medicinally privileged substructure.
A facile and straightforward synthesis of 1,2,3-thiadiazoles from α-enolicdithioesters via nitrosation/reduction/diazotization/cyclization cascade in one-pot
operationally simple, economical, and straightforwardsynthesis of diverse 4,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-thiadiazoles from α-enolicdithioesters has been achieved via nitrosation/reduction/diazotization/cyclization sequence in one-pot through the formation of cascade 1–2 (N–S) and 3–4 (C–N) bonds. Importantly, this is the first straightforwardentry to highly functionalized 1,2,3-thiadiazoles from dithioesters
