The conjugate-addition reactions between 2,3-dihydrothiin-4-one (2) and a number of copper-containing organometallic reagents are described. New methods have been developed for the synthesis of a variety of 2-substituted thian-4-ones and the corresponding sulphoxides and sulphones. Approaches to the synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted thian-4-ones are also discussed.
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.
