The chemistry of ynol and thioynol ethers

Abstract: Alkynyl ethers and alkynyl thioethers ('ynol ethers' and 'thioynol ethers') are appealing building-blocks in synthetic chemistry due to their ease of manipulation and predictable reactivity. Until recently however, their potential has remained underexploited due to difficulties in preparation and isolation. Although recent advances in synthetic chemistry have highlighted various applications for ynol ethers, the equivalent thioynol examples have been rather less exploited despite a unique and fascinating react… Show more

“…Effective reaction was seen with alkyl and aryl substitution at sulfur (Table 1, entries [1][2][3][4][5]. Smaller S substituents gave improved conversion and higher regioselectivity.C onjugating the alkyne with as trongly electron-withdrawing group shut down the reaction while an electron-donating substituent saw smooth reactions and excellent regioselectivScheme 1.…”

“…[10] The preparation of 5-membered cyclic sulfoximines remains less explored [11] and their synthesis in enantiopure form is limited to rather rare examples. [13] This study began with sulfinamide 3 a, obtained in a single step from the corresponding enantiopure tertbutanesulfinylimine 1 a by diastereoselective addition of the in situ generated lithio acetylenic ether, obtained by reaction of dichloroenol ether 2 a with nbutyllithium. [13] This study began with sulfinamide 3 a, obtained in a single step from the corresponding enantiopure tertbutanesulfinylimine 1 a by diastereoselective addition of the in situ generated lithio acetylenic ether, obtained by reaction of dichloroenol ether 2 a with nbutyllithium.…”

“…[11c,e,f,h] Following our studies on the synthesis of enantiopure oxygenated propargyl-sulfinamides, [12] we envisioned that these unique substrates could provide an easy access to unprecedented enantiopure 5-membered endocyclic sulfoximines, through a simple cycloisomerization reaction, capitalizing on the activation of the electron-rich oxygenated triple bond by p-acidic transition metal catalysts. [13] This study began with sulfinamide 3 a, obtained in a single step from the corresponding enantiopure tertbutanesulfinylimine 1 a by diastereoselective addition of the in situ generated lithio acetylenic ether, obtained by reaction of dichloroenol ether 2 a with nbutyllithium. A variety of p-acid metals were tested in dichloromethane for their ability to promote a cyclisation.…”
