A facile stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted (Z)/(E)‐alkenes containing a functionalized thioether unit has been accomplished by using a new three‐component tetramolecular reaction (ABCB′‐type) following a Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) route. Syntheses beginning with preformed MBH adducts yield similar results (ABC‐type reaction) and broaden the scope of application. Suitably substituted aromatic aldehydes result in the formation of 3‐substituted‐2H‐thiochromenes in high yield.
A Multi-Component Synthesis of Functionalized O,S-Dialkyldithiocarbonates. -Employing DABCO as catalyst, primary, secondary, and non-allylic alcohols are effectively utilized in the synthesis of the title dithiocarbonates under mild reaction conditions. Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts behave differently leading to trisubstituted alkenes with thioether moiety (not shown). -(PATRA, G. C.; PAL, S.; BHUNIA, S. C.; HAZRA, N. K.; PAL*, S. C.; Indian J.

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.
