Regioselective Synthesis of Sulfonyl-Containing Benzyl Dithiocarbamates through Copper-Catalyzed Thiosulfonylation of Styrenes

An efficient approach for the preparation of sulfonyl-containing benzyl dithiocarbamates has been developed using tetraalkylthiuram disulfides as the thiolating agents and sulfonyl chlorides as the sulfonyl sources in the presence of the copper catalyst. The dithiocarbamate group together with the sulfonyl group was simultaneously introduced into styrene in chemo- and regioselective manners. This protocol provides a convenient procedure, with good yields and functional group tolerance to various important sulfonyl-containing benzyl dithiocarbamates

DataSheet1_Synthesis of N-Heteroarenemethyl Esters via C–C Bond Cleavage of Acyl Cyanides Under Transition Metal-Free Conditions.PDF

A practical method to synthesize N-heteroaryl esters from N-heteroaryl methanols with acyl cyanides via C–C bond cleavage without using any transition metal is demonstrated here. The use of Na2CO3/15-crown-5 couple enables access to a series of N-heteroaryl esters in high efficiency. This protocol is operationally simple and highly environmentally benign producing only cyanides as byproducts.</p

Nickel-Catalyzed Amidation of Aryl Alkynyl Acids with Tetraalkylthiuram Disulfides: A Facile Synthesis of Aryl Alkynyl Amides

Nickel-catalyzed amidation of aryl alkynyl acids using tetraalkylthiuram disulfides as the amine source is described, affording a series of aryl alkynyl amides in good to excellent yields under mild conditions. This general methodology provides an alternative pathway for the synthesis of useful aryl alkynyl amides in an operationally simple manner, which shows its practical synthetic value in organic synthesis. The mechanism of this transformation was explored through control experiments and DFT calculations

Moisture Property and Thermal Behavior of Two Novel Synthesized Polyol Pyrrole Esters in Tobacco

To overcome the shortcomings of high relative humidity and harmful oxidation products from traditional humectants, excellent humectants and flavor precursors were reported herein. Glucosamine hydrochloride was used as the starting material for the cyclization, oxidation, and alkylation processes that produced pyrrole acid. Then, esterification occurred with polyol catalyzed by EDC and DMAP to give the target compounds 2-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl) 4-methyl 5-methyl-1-propyl-1H-pyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylate (Gpe) and (2-hydroxypropyl) 4-methyl 5-methyl-1-propyl-1H-pyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylate (Ppe). Nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR, 13C NMR), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and high-resolution mass recorded spectrometry (HRMS) were used to confirm the two novel polyol pyrrole ester compounds. When Gpe and Ppe were added to the tobacco shred, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) imaging was applied to assess the hygroscopicity and moisturizing capacity. Furthermore, thermogravimetry (TG) and pyrolysis–gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) techniques were applied to study their thermal behaviors. These results showed that the target compounds (Gpe and Ppe) are good humectants with thermal properties of high-temperature stability and flavor release
