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.

An efficient and operationally straightforward synthesis of 1-methylthio-2-arylethyne derivatives is described based on a desilylativeSonogashira cross-coupling between aryliodides and a silylated surrogate for methylthioacetylene (Me3SiCCSMe). Extension of the process to a selection of other thioether types is also documented.
