Recent advances in the Willgerodt–Kindler reaction

Abstract: The Willgerodt-Kindler reaction has, in recent years, received limited attention and application in synthetic organic chemistry. With the advent of new technology such as microwave-assisted heating, several new, high-yielding, practical, and more environmentally friendly reaction protocols have been developed. This review aims to once again draw attention to this relatively underutilised process by highlighting the recent developments in the Willgerodt-Kindler reaction in the synthesis of (thio)amides, carboxy… Show more

“…Multicomponent polymerizations (MCPs), as an emerging field of polymer chemistry, display a series of advantages such as high efficiency, mild reaction conditions, atom economy, and operational simplicity and thus are representing a powerful new approach for the preparation of functional polymers. Willgerodt–Kindler type reactions of dialdehydes and diamines in the presence of sulfur were investigated for preparation of polythioamides (Scheme C) . The one‐pot, three‐component polycondensation developed by Kanbara and co‐workers afforded various polythioamides in moderate to good yields depending on the adopted reaction conditions.…”

“…Willgerodt-Kindler reaction is another alternative means to access thioamides, starting from different types of starting materials such as aryl aldehydes, aryl alkyl ketones, aryl amides, and aryl acetic acids in one step 56,57 . It means that these common compounds can conveniently be used to prepare diaryl ketones in two steps with our method, which can enlarge the accessible chemical space.…”

“…T hisw as due to the polysulfides generated by the cleavage of SÀSb onds when S 8 was under stepwise nucleophilic attack by amines. [12] Based on the control experiments and previous literature, [7,8,12] ap lausible mechanism is proposed in Scheme3, which begins with the nucleophilic attack of amine 2 on S 8 to produce the polysulfide A.M eanwhile, 1a reacts with N-methylpiperidine to give 1-benzyl-N-methylpiperidiniumc hloride B.…”
