Thiono ester

The alkynyl ketones 840 can be prepared by the reaction of acyi chlorides with terminal alkynes, Cul in the presence of Et3N is the cocatalyst[719]. (1-Alkynyl)tributylstannanes are also used for the alkynyl ketone synthesis[720]. The a,. 3-alkynic dithio and thiono esters 842 can be prepared by the reaction of the corresponding acid chloride 841 with terminal alkynes[721,722].

The present procedure is illustrative of a mild and general method for preparing thiazoles substituted in the 4-position with electron-withdrawing substitutents such as carbethoxy, cyano, and p-toluenesulfonyl. Thus condensation of ethyl isocyanoacetate with various thiono esters affords the parent ethyl thiazole-4-carboxylate as well as a series of analogs bearing substituents in the... 

Reduction by hydrogen atom donors involves free radical intermediates and usually proceeds by chain mechanisms. Tri-n-butylstannane is the most prominent example of this type of reducing agent. Other synthetically useful hydrogen atom donors include hypophosphorous acid, dialkyl phosphites, and tris-(trimethylsilyl)silane. The processes that have found most synthetic application are reductive replacement of halogen and various types of thiono esters. 

Scheme 5.9 illustrates some of the conditions that have been developed for the reductive deoxygenation of alcohols. Entries 1 to 4 illustrate the most commonly used methods for generation of thiono esters and their reduction by tri-M-butylstannane. These include formation of thiono carbonates (Entry 1), xanthates (Entry 2), and thiono imidazolides (Entries 3 and 4). Entry 5 is an example of use of dimethyl phosphite as the hydrogen donor. Entry 6 uses r .s-(trimethylsilyl)silane as the hydrogen atom donor.

The precise reaction conditions for optimal yields depend upon the specific reagents and both thermal290 and photochemical291 conditions have been developed. Phenyl thionocarbonates are easily prepared and are useful in radical generating reactions.292 A variety of other thiono esters, including xanthates and imidazolyl thiocarbonates also can be used.293... 

Radicals formed by fragmentation of xanthate and related thiono esters can also be trapped by reactive alkenes.217 The mechanism of radical generation from thiono esters was discussed in connection with the Barton deoxygenation method in Section 5.4. 

Reactions with thiono esters, iodides, bromides, and selenides proceed efficiently with dimethyl phosphite or with hypophosphorous acid in the presence of a tertiary amine and AIBN.221... 

The radical source must have some functional group X that can be abstracted by trialkylstannyl radicals. In addition to halides, both thiono esters and selenides are reactive. Allyl tris(trimethylsilyl)silane can also react similarly.232 Scheme 10.11 illustrates allylation by reaction of radical intermediates with allylstannanes. 

The meso-ionic 1,3-oxazol-S-ones show an incredible array of cycloaddition reactions. Reference has already been made to the cycloaddition reactions of the derivative 50, which are interpreted as involving cycloaddition to the valence tautomer 51. In addition, an extremely comprehensive study of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of meso-ionic l,3-oxazol-5-ones (66) has been undertaken by Huisgen and his co-workers. The 1,3-dipolarophiles that have been examined include alkenes, alkynes, aldehydes, a-keto esters, a-diketones, thiobenzophenone, thiono esters, carbon oxysulfide, carbon disulfide, nitriles, nitro-, nitroso-, and azo-compounds, and cyclopropane and cyclobutene derivatives. In these reactions the l,3-oxazol-5-ones (66)... 

Primary, secondary and tertiary thioamides and thionreas are readily converted to their corresponding 0x0 analogs with Oxone in refinxing CH3CN . Thiono esters were converted to esters, while thioketones remained intact nnder these reaction conditions. Hydrazines can be selectively converted to esters and acids in high yields by nsing Oxone in an alcohol and a water, respectively . However, Mane and coworkers showed that hydrazides can be smoothly converted into the corresponding Af,Af -diacylhydrazines in excellent yields with Oxone in water (equation 67) . ...

NH groups is apparently good only for the tetrahe-drally bonded oxyanion intermediate,262 a structure thought to be close to that of the transition state. The importance of the oxyanion hole for catalysis has been supported by theoretical calculations245 and by the study of mutant enzymes.263 In subtilisin, in which a side chain of asparagine forms part of the oxyanion hole, replacement of Asn with the isosteric Leu causes /ccat to fall by a factor of about 200 while Km is unaffected 264 It is also of interest that thiono ester substrates, in which the C=0 of an oxygen ester has been replaced by C = S, bind with normal affinity to chymotrypsin but are not hydrolyzed at significant rates.265...
