Abstract
An operationally simple and highly efficient synthesis of functionalized thiophenes has been developed by LiBr promoted heteroannulation of β-ketodithioesters and thioamides with bench-stable sulfoxonium ylides in open air for the first time. This one-pot strategy involves formal Csp3-H bond insertion/intramolecular cyclization cascade, featuring readily accessible starting materials, TM and additive-free condition, broad substrate scope, high functional group compatibility, and scalability. Moreover, the carbonyl, thiomethyl, and amino groups in the resulting thiophene provide a good handle on downstream transformations.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
