“…43 The more challenging example of substituted 7-hydroxybenzo [b]thiophene and its derivatives was accomplished via NKR, providing sulfur isosteres 32 of biologically active hydroxyindoles (Scheme 18). 44 This approach proceeded through 2-mercapto-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (33) which also provided access to 7-substituted 1,2-benzisothiazoles 34. The substitution patterns on both these heterocycles had been difficult to achieve by other methods.…”
This literature review focuses on the thermal rearrangement of O-aryl thiocarbamates to yield the corresponding S-aryl thiocarbamates: the Newman-Kwart rearrangement. The purpose of the review is to highlight the utility of the rearrangement which provides a key step in an efficient route to convert phenols into thiophenols. The scope of the Newman-Kwart rearrangement is illustrated by way of numerous examples of its application to the preparation of Ar-S species ranging from large-scale industrial processes through to the synthesis of complex organic molecules such as ligands and supramolecular structures. The review contains 238 references and covers just over 40 years of the literature, from the first reports of the rearrangement by Edwards and Pianka in 1965 up to mid-2007. 1 Introduction 2 The Newman-Kwart Rearrangement (NKR) 2.1 Background and History 2.2 Preparation of O-Aryl Thiocarbamates for NKR and Subsequent Cleavage 2.3 Mechanism of Rearrangement 2.4 Nonclassical Conditions for Rearrangement 2.5 Allylic and Benzylic Rearrangements 2.

The molecular structures and spectral properties of α-haloketones as well as their syntheses are analyzed and reviewed. Their reactivity towards oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur nucleophiles, carboxylic acids, carbon nucleophiles, alkenes, and alkynes are discussed.
“…The synthesis of α‐thio‐substituted glycine from the corresponding α‐acetoxyglycine was performed using the strategy described by Kingsbury et al8 The key step (Scheme ) in the syntheses of the α‐[(difluoromethyl)arylthio]glycines 12 , 13 and 14 resides in the substitution of the acetoxy group of the racemic pseudodipeptide 2 7 by the corresponding thio‐substituted benzaldehydes 3 , 4 and 5 . Compounds 3 and 4 were obtained by the Newman−Kwart rearrangement11,12 of O ‐dimethylthiocarbamoylated vanillin9 and ortho ‐vanillin,10 respectively. 2‐Thiosalicylaldehyde ( 5 ) was conveniently synthesized in 32% yield by formylation of the thiophenol dilithium salt 13,14.…”
