Cyclic thiocarbonates

On reaction of the S/Z-mixture 746 with benzylamine in the presence of CS2, the cyclic thiocarbonates 757 and 758 are formed by attack of benzylammo-nium thiocarbonate on 747, N,N -thiourea 759 is also formed [236] (Scheme 5.81). 

In 1863 Husemann prepared an intermediate, to which he assigned the formula C2H4S, by the action of sodium sulfide on ethylene bromide. From it he obtained the cyclic dimer, dithiane, by distillation. Mans-feld (1886) reinvestigated the intermediate and concluded that it is a polymer. As a reminder of the significance of the term polymer at that time it is to be noted, however, that Mansfeld suggested the cyclic trimeric formula for the intermediate, which is now known to be a linear polymer. Other polymers prepared similarly by Husemann (1863) include methylene sulfide (—CH2—S—)a and methylene tri-thiocarbonate (—CH2—S—CS—S—) . Neither was recognized as a polymer, and neither has since been investigated from this standpoint. 

A 1,3-oxathiolane derivative (100) is formed when 2-mercaptoethanol is carbonylated by nickel carbonyl in pyridine (Scheme 118).181 It is probable that the mechanism involves carbonyl insertion into the Ni—S bond of intermediate thiolatonickel complexes and it is significant that compounds in this category (cf. 101,102) can be transformed into the cyclic thiocarbonate by treatment with carbon monoxide (Scheme 118).181... 

Cyclic thiocarbonates, such as compound 169, react smoothly with allylmagnesium bromide. Careful control of the reaction conditions allows monoalkylation. Trapping of the intermediate sulfur anion with Mel provided the 1,3-dioxane in 78% yield (Equation 20) <2003H(59)87>. 

Heating cyclic mono-, di- or tri-thiocarbonates, usually in the presence of base, gives thiiranes and carbon dioxide, carbon oxysulfide or carbon disulfide respectively. The methiodide salts of 2-methylimino-l,3-oxathiolanes are converted to thiiranes with high stereoselectivity, except for 5-aryl-substituted oxathiolanes (Scheme 146) (80LA1779). Flash vacuum thermolysis of l,3-oxathiolan-5-ones causes loss of carbon dioxide and nearly quantitative formation of thiiranes of inverted configuration (Scheme 147) (80JA744). For example, thermolysis of c/s-2,4-diphenyl-1,3-oxathiolan-5-one gives trans-2,4-diphenyl-thiirane. 

Spiroorthocarbonates were obtained by coupling of cyclic tin adduct 251, prepared from 1,2-dihydroxymethyl-benzene and dibutyltin oxide, with thiocarbonate 252. Reaction of the resulting orthocarbonate 253 with potassium A/z-butoxide in toluene afforded spiroorthocarbonate 254 (Scheme 77) <2003BKC1371>. 

Conversion of 1,2-diols to alkenes. The cyclic thiocarbonate is available from reaction of the diol with thiophosgene or thiocarbonyldiimidazole, and reacts with added trimethylphosphite via a -elimination to the alkene. 

Summary In this chapter, a discussion of the viscoelastic properties of selected polymeric materials is performed. The basic concepts of viscoelasticity, dealing with the fact that polymers above glass-transition temperature exhibit high entropic elasticity, are described at beginner level. The analysis of stress-strain for some polymeric materials is shortly described. Dielectric and dynamic mechanical behavior of aliphatic, cyclic saturated and aromatic substituted poly(methacrylate)s is well explained. An interesting approach of the relaxational processes is presented under the experience of the authors in these polymeric systems. The viscoelastic behavior of poly(itaconate)s with mono- and disubstitutions and the effect of the substituents and the functional groups is extensively discussed. The behavior of viscoelastic behavior of different poly(thiocarbonate)s is also analyzed. 

The Corey-Winter procedure was used to obtain the cyclic thiocarbonate 206 from the corresponding vicinal diol <2000EJ0939>. 

Cyclic thiocarbonates offer another class of substrates for radical deoxygenation (Scheme 3.9b). In particular, thiocarbonates formed from a diol derived from a primary and secondary hydroxyl are of particular interest, since they can be deoxygenated regioselectively with tributyltin hydride and AIBN.53 In these cases, the secondary position is deoxygenated owing to the higher stability of secondary over primary radicals. As expected, radical reduction of thiocarbonates derived from two secondary hydroxyls leads to a mixture of deoxygenated isomers.52b 53... 

Vicinal syn- and aufi-diols, as shown in Figure 4.42, can be prepared diastereoselectively (cf. Figures 8.10,8.13-8.15,8.32). In the Corey-Winter process they are first converted into cyclic thiocarbonates (cf. Section 6.4.4 for a similar reaction mechanism). Upon heating in trimethyl phosphite, these thiocarbonates furnish olefins. In what is evidently a one-step reaction, phosphorus and sulfur combine with one another and the five-membered heterocycle fragments. C02 is released and the olefin results from a xyu-elimination. Because of the latter, a syu-diol gives the trans-oieim and an anti- diol gives the cw-olefin in the Corey-Winter sequence. 

The carbonates and thiocarbonates may be classified quite simply into the following types, (i) Mixed Esters. In these esters, the carbonic acid or thiocarbonic acid is esterified with both an alcohol and a carbohydrate, (ii) Acid Esters. Here, a metal salt of a half-ester of a carbohydrate has been formed, (iii) Intermolecular Esters. Here, an ester has been formed between one molecule of the acid and two molecules of carbohydrate, (iv) Cyclic or Intramolecular Esters. Here, one molecule of the acid is di-esterified with one molecule of carbohydrate.

Acyclic and cyclic trisulfanes may be synthesized from sulfenyl thiocarbonates by nucleophilic displacement. 

Monodeoxygenation of 1,2- and 1,3-diols was achieved via their cyclic thiocarbonates, prepared from the diol and A/,A/ -thiocarbonyldiimidazole, by reaction with BusSnH-AIBN followed by alkaline hydrolysis (presumably, F would also be effective for the cleavage step). Equation (14) shows this process applied to synthesis of a derivative (73) of 5-deoxyglucose. Exclusive secondary deoxygenation is expected on the basis of radical stability in contrast, the derivative (72) was readily converted by an ionic process to an intermediate suitable for 6-deoxygenadon, since treatment with KI gave (74) quantitatively. 

Similar reactions have been carried out on acetylene.In an interesting variation, thiocarbonates add to aUcynes in the presence of a palladium catalyst to give a p-phenylthio a,p-unsaturated ester.Aldehydes add to alkynes in the presence of a rhodium catalyst to give conjugated ketones.In a cyclic version of the addition of aldehydes, 4-pentenal was converted to cyclopentanone with a rhodium-complex catalyst. An intramolecular acyl addition to an alkyne was reported using silyl ketones, acetic aid and a rhodium catalyst. In the presence of a palladium catalyst, a tosylamide group added to an alkene unit to generate A-tosylpyrrolidine derivatives. 

The di-O-tosylates (prepared by action of tosyl chloride in pyridine) are reduced with zinc (Nal/Zn route e Tipson-Cohen reaction) [13]. Cyclic ortho-esters (prepared by reaction of the diol with ethyl orthoformate) are transformed into olefins by simple heating in the presence of acids (Eastwood reaction, route b) [14]. Cyclic thiocarbonates (obtained by reaction of a diol with thiophosgene or (V,(V -thiocarbonyl-di-imidazole) are reduced to olefin with trimethyl phosphite (Corey-Winter method, route c) [15]. Finally, reduction of vicinal di-xanthates with tri- -butyltin hydride according to the Barton procedure [16] affords olefins via a reductive elimination process route a). The Corey-Winter, Garegg, and Tipson-Cohen methods are most commonly applied for deoxygenation of sugar diols.
