A copper(I)‐catalyzed interrupted click‐sulfenylation of O‐/N‐propargyl benzyl thiosulfonates with organic azides has been disclosed. The unified CuAAC‐thiolation provides a wide range of triazole‐fused eight‐membered heterocycles in good to high (51–94%) yields under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, a three‐component reaction is also achieved involving O‐/N‐propargyl benzyl thiosulfonates, benzyl bromide, and sodium azide to deliver fused‐triazoles in 61–74% yields. From a synthetic point of view, the present protocol has been demonstrated at gram‐scale reactions. A plausible mechanism is also proposed based on experimental results and control experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
