Abstract
A facile synthetic route to functionalized thietanes has been developed by employing one-pot, high-yielding, and highly diastereoselective three-component coupling reaction of O,O-diethyl hydrogen phosphorodithioate, aromatic aldehydes, and activated olefins. The synthesis involves Michael addition of the dithioate to acrylonitrile/methyl acrylate followed by addition of the resulting carbanion to an aldehyde and intramolecular cyclization to afford 2-arylthietane-3-carbonitriles/carboxylates at room temperature.
Key words
thietanes - phosphorodithioates - activated olefins - stereoselective synthesis - Michael addition - heterocyclization

General Procedure
for the Synthesis of Functionalized Thietanes 4
To
a solution of O,O-diethyl
hydrogen phosphorodithioate (1, 5 mmol)
in dry benzene (5 mL) was added dropwise a suspension of NaH (120
mg, 5 mmol) in dry benzene (10 mL) with stirring at r.t. After the
addition was complete, and evolution of hydrogen gas(effervescence)
had ceased, the reaction mixture was stirred at 60 ˚C for
30 min and then cooled to r.t. Next, a solution of activated olefin 2 (5 mmol) in dry benzene (5 mL) was added,
and the reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 1 h followed by
the addition of aldehyde 3 (5 mmol) and
stirring at r.t. for 2-5 h (Table
[¹]
). Water (20 mL) was added,
the mixture was extracted with Et2O (3 × 20 mL),
dried over anhyd MgSO4, filtered, and evaporated under
reduced pressure. The crude product thus obtained was purified by
SiO2 chromatography (hexane-EtOAc, 95:5) to
afford an analytically pure sample of 4.
