Anhydrides thiols

Unstable compounds under the screening conditions (esters, anhydrides, thiols, heteroatom-heteroatom acyclic single bonds). 

V0(0Tf)2, AC2O, CH2CI2, 75-100% yield. Other esters can be formed by using other anhydrides. Thiols and amines and phenols are also acylated, but tertiary alcohols are not reactive. ... 

Thiols and phosphines add to maleic anhydride to give a-thiosuccinic anhydrides (82) and phosphoranylidene—maleic anhydride adducts (83). Triethyl phosphite [122-52-1] reacts with maleic anhydride to give the yhde stmcture (23) (84). Hydrolysis of this adduct (23) leads to succinic acid... 

Tetrabutylammonium iodide in trifluoroacetic anhydride is an effective reducing reagent [dS] This system can be used for direct reduction of arenesulfonic acids to the corresponding thiols or disulfides m moderate yields under mild conditions (equation 18) Alkanesulfonic acids are reduced by this system to disulfides with 30-57% yields [dfi]... 

Acyl CoA s, such as acetyl CoA, are the most common thioesters in nature. Coenzyme A, abbreviated CoA, is a thiol formed by a phosphoric anhydride linkage (0 = P—O—P=0) between phosphopantetheine and adenosine 3, 5 -bisphosphate. (The prefix "bis" means "two" and indicates that adenosine 3, 5 -bisphosphate has two phosphate groups, one on C3 and one on C5. ) Reaction of coenzyme A with an acyl phosphate or acyl adenylate...

Thiol acids and thiol esters can be prepared in this manner, which is analogous to 10-8 and 10-24. Anhydrides and aryl esters (RCOOAr) are also used as substrates, but the reagents in these cases are usually SH and SR. Thiol esters can... 

The aziridine aldehyde 56 undergoes a facile Baylis-Hillman reaction with methyl or ethyl acrylate, acrylonitrile, methyl vinyl ketone, and vinyl sulfone [60]. The adducts 57 were obtained as mixtures of syn- and anfz-diastereomers. The synthetic utility of the Baylis-Hillman adducts was also investigated. With acetic anhydride in pyridine an SN2 -type substitution of the initially formed allylic acetate by an acetoxy group takes place to give product 58. Nucleophilic reactions of this product with, e. g., morpholine, thiol/Et3N, or sodium azide in DMSO resulted in an apparent displacement of the acetoxy group. Tentatively, this result may be explained by invoking the initial formation of an ionic intermediate 59, which is then followed by the reaction with the nucleophile as shown in Scheme 43. 

To clarify the characteristics of AMDase, the effects of some additives were examined using phenylmalonic acid as the representative substrate. The addihon of ATP and coenzyme A did not enhance the rate of the reaction, different from the case of malonyl-CoA decarboxylase and others in those, ATP and substrate acid form a mixed anhydride, which in turn reacts with coenzyme A to form a thiol ester of the substrate. In the present case, as both ATP and CoA-SH had no effect, the mechanism of the reaction will be totally different from the ordinary one described above. It is well estabhshed that avidin is a potent inhibitor of the formation of the biotin-enzyme complex. In the case of AMDase, addition of avidin has no influence on the enzyme activity, indicating that AMDase is not a biotin enzyme. 

The addition of Grignard reagents to aldehydes, ketones, and esters is the basis for the synthesis of a wide variety of alcohols, and several examples are given in Scheme 7.3. Primary alcohols can be made from formaldehyde (Entry 1) or, with addition of two carbons, from ethylene oxide (Entry 2). Secondary alcohols are obtained from aldehydes (Entries 3 to 6) or formate esters (Entry 7). Tertiary alcohols can be made from esters (Entries 8 and 9) or ketones (Entry 10). Lactones give diols (Entry 11). Aldehydes can be prepared from trialkyl orthoformate esters (Entries 12 and 13). Ketones can be made from nitriles (Entries 14 and 15), pyridine-2-thiol esters (Entry 16), N-methoxy-A-methyl carboxamides (Entries 17 and 18), or anhydrides (Entry 19). Carboxylic acids are available by reaction with C02 (Entries 20 to 22). Amines can be prepared from imines (Entry 23). Two-step procedures that involve formation and dehydration of alcohols provide routes to certain alkenes (Entries 24 and 25). 

Williams and Rastetter also accomplished an elegant synthesis of ( )-hyalodendrin (83) in 1980 [39]. Beginning with the sarcosine anhydride-derived enolic aldehyde 78, silyl protection of the enal enabled alkylation of the glycine center with benzyl bromide and thiolation using LDA and monoclinic sulfur a la Schmidt. After protection of the thiol with methylsulfenyl chloride and deprotection of the silyl ether, the enol was sulfenylated with triphenylmethyl chlorodisulfide to afford bis(disulfide) 82 as a 2 1 mixture of diastereomers favoring the anti isomer. Reduction of the disulfides with sodium borohydride and oxidation with KI3 in pyridine afforded ( )-hyalodendrin (83) in 29 % yield (Scheme 9.4). 

Figure 1.69 SAMSA is an anhydride compound containing a protected thiol. Reaction with protein amine groups yields amide bond linkages. Deprotection of the acetylated thiol produces free sulfhydryl groups for conjugation.

The mixed carbonic anhydride procedure8-7 has been useful in the preparation of amide linkages and thiol esters. Mixed carbonic anhydrides have successfully acylated, under very mild conditions, the carb-anions derived from diethyl ethylmalonate and diethylcadmium.8 The latter gives as a product the corresponding ketone. Mixed anhydrides derived from acetic and acetylsalicylic acids give results similar to those described here.8... 

The Schiff base derivatives 73 of the 3-hetaryl-substituted 4-amino-3-thiol-l,2,4-triazoles, on treatment with acetic anhydride, undergo cyclization to give the corresponding 3-substituted-5-acetyl-5,6-dihydro-6-phenyl[l,2,4]triazolo[3,4-7][l,3,4]thiadiazoles 76 (Equation 16) <1990IJB135>. Similar treatment of 4-(A-bcnzoylamino)-4,5-dihydro-l-methyl-3-mcthylthio-1 //-[ 1,2,4 triazolc-5-thione 77 leads to the [l,2,4]triazolo[3,4-4][l,3,4]thiadiazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate 78 (Equation 17) <1986LA1540>. 

Kusumoto and coworkers have found that the treatment of hemiacetal 1 with trifluoro- or trichloroacetic anhydride 94 (1 equiv) and trimethylsilyl perchlorate (0.2 equiv) selectively provides the corresponding anomeric ester intermediate 91 [152], Hemiacetal acylation occurs even in the presence of the alcohol acceptor. With Lewis acid assistance, the glycosyl ester intermediate is displaced to provide disaccharide products in good yields. This transformation allowed the synthesis of disaccharides 98 (81%) and 99 (91%). In some cases, acetic anhydride has been used as the electrophilic activator of hemiacetal donors and the reaction with thiol acceptors yields S-linked glycosides [153,154],...
