OH−/Silica-Mediated One-Pot Synthesis of Dithiocarbamates Under Solvent-Free Conditions

Abstract

An efficient, versatile, and environmentally benign method for the synthesis of dithiocarbamates under solvent-free conditions is reported. The Michael addition of electron-deficient alkenes with alkyl or aryl amines and CS₂ in the presence of OH^?/silica in a one-pot three-component reaction protocol gave the corresponding dithiocarbamates in good to excellent yields. This method is suitable for a wide range of amines and a variety of Michael acceptors in solvent-free conditions. The results of the present work show the desired products in excellent yields.

Thiocarbamoylation of amine-containing compounds

Thiocarbamoylation of aliphatic amines with tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD) was studied. The reactions were established to proceed according to a two-stage mechanism. In the first stage,S-(thiocarbamoyl)thiohydroxylamines and dimethyl dithiocarbamates are formed. The latter exist in equilibrium with dimethyldithiocarbamic acid, which can undergo decomposition to give dimethylamine and carbon disulfide. In the second stage, several competitive transformations of these intermediates into the final products occur,viz., (1) the reactions of CS₂ with primary amines on heating (70–110 °C) yield mixed and symmetrical thioureas and the reactions of CS₂ with secondary amines give symmetrical dithiocarbamates, and (2) insertion of CS₂ intoS-(thiocarbamoyl)thiohydroxylamines affords thiuram disulfides. Thiuram disulfides formed from primary amines decompose to give isothiocyanates, which are converted into thioureas by condensation with amines, whereas thiuram disulfides which are obtained in the reactions with secondary amines and which cannot form thioureas react with amines analogously to TMTD.

A novel isocyanide-based three-component reaction: a facile synthesis of substituted 2H-pyran-3,4-dicarboxylates

An efficient method for synthesis of 2H-pyran-3,4-dicarboxylates using the three-component reaction of dithiocarbamates, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, and isocyanides in solvent-free conditions is described. In these reactions, synthesis of dithiocarbamates is possibly based on the one-pot reaction of secondary amines, CS₂, and alkyl halides in solvent-free conditions without using a catalyst. The mild reaction conditions and high yields of the reaction exhibit the good synthetic advantage of these methods.     

A convenient method for the synthesis of substituted thioureas

A convenient method for the synthesis of substituted thioureas by the reaction of primary amines with molybdenum dialkyl dithiocarbamates has been developed. Primary amines on reaction with 0.5 equiv of molybdenum xanthate produce the corresponding thioureas in moderate to good yields in short times. Similar reactions with propargylamine or 2-aminoethanol produce cyclic thiaoxazolidine and oxazolidine derivatives, respectively.

Divergent transformation of the nitrile functionality highlights the utility of the present catalysis.

Chemoselective Aromatic Azido Reduction with Concomitant Aliphatic Azide Employing Al/Gd Triflates/NaI and ESI‐MS Mechanistic Studies

Aluminium and gadolinium triflates catalyze the chemoselective reduction of aromatic azides to the corresponding amines in combination with sodium iodide. This mild chemoselective method has been applied to the synthesis of various aryl amines, C2‐azido‐substituted pyrrolo[2,1‐c][1,4]benzodiazepines, and fused[2,1‐b]quinazolinones by an intramolecular azido reduction tandem cyclization reaction. Interestingly, this methodology selectively reduces aryl azides with enhanced yields and proceeds in shorter reaction times than previous strategies. The mechanistic aspects have been investigated and the intermediates associated with this selective transformation have been intercepted and characterized by online monitoring of the reaction by ESI‐MS.     

Determination of sulphur functions with iodoso-compounds

Iodoso derivatives, e.g., m- and p-chlorophenyl, m- and p-methylphenyl and p-nitrophenyl-iodosoacetates and o-diacetoxyiodobenzoate, have been thoroughly investigated as oxidants and are proposed as analytical reagents for the determination of thiols, thioureas, isothiocyanates, organic sulphides, disulphides, xanthates, dithiocarbamates, amines and alcohols in aqueous and non-aqueous (acetic acid, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide) media. The error of the determination of thiols is 0.2% thioureas 0.5%, organic sulphides and disulphides 0.4%, isothiocyanates 0.4%, dithiocarbamates 0.4%, and xanthates 0.5%. All the methods are precise to 0.2-0.5%. It is also shown that the properties of the o-derivatives differ markedly from those of the m- and p-derivatives. The o-derivatives contain a 1-substituted 1,2-benzoiodoxilin-3-one ring system. The stability of this system is apparently associated with the size of the five-membered ring; other compounds in which iodine is apparently part of larger rings are less stable. o-Diacetoxyiodobenzoate appears to be the best analytical reagent of the iodoso series. The m- and p-iodosobenzoates are found unsuitable for quantitative oxidation of cysteine.
