Methods for the synthesis of chiral sulfur heterocycles and their application in the asymmetric Baylis–Hillman reactions
摘要:
Enantiomerically pure (2S,6S)-2,6-diphenyltetrahydro-2H-thiopyran, (2S)-2-phenyltetrahydro thiophene, and (2S)-2-phenyltetrahydro-2H-thiopyran were prepared in 70-72% yields and with 86-99% ee via cyclization of the corresponding dimesylate in an S(N)2 cyclization reaction using sodium sulfide nonahydrate. The results on the application of various chiral sulfides in asymmetric Baylis-Hillman reactions are also described. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
