A novel and efficient synthesis of sulfur-containing heterocycles from phenol ethers bearing an alkyl sulfide sidechain using a combined reagent of a hypervalent iodine(u1) species and BF3.Et20 is described.
A Novel and Direct α-Azidation of Cyclic Sulfides Using a Hypervalent Iodine(III) Reagent.-A novel and direct method for the α-azidation of mono-and bicyclic sulfides using a combination of iodosylbenzenetrimethylsilyl azide is described. The method is even applicable to substrates which are easily aromatized under oxidative conditions.-(TOHMA, H.; EGI, M.; OHTSUBO, M.; WATANABE, H.; TAKIZAWA, S.; KITA, Y.; Chem.
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.
