Bifunctional Thiourea-Catalyzed Stereoablative Retro-Sulfa-Michael Reaction: Concise and Diastereoselective Access to Chiral 2,4-Diarylthietanes
摘要:
Owing to the chiral recognition capacity of bifunctional thioureas, a stereoablative retro-sulfa-Michael reaction has been developed. Utilization of a biphasic system enabled us to render the process catalytic. The usefulness of this methodology was further illustrated by the diastereoselective synthesis of all possible stereoisomers of 2,4-diarylthiethanes.
