The unusual influence of hetaryl groups on the direct conversion of some secondary alcohols into thiols with Lawesson’s reagent: elucidation of the reaction mechanism

A series of hetaryl-substituted methanols were used for direct conversion into the corresponding thiols by treatment with Lawesson’s reagent in boiling toluene. Unexpectedly, the respective sulfides were formed exclusively. In the case of chiral alcohols,

Two-step three-component process for one-pot synthesis of 8-alkylmercaptocaffeine derivatives

A highly efficient, odourless and two-step three-component process for one-pot synthesis of some 8-alkylmercaptocaffeine derivatives has been described. The catalyst-free three-component reaction of alkyl bromides, thiourea, and 8-bromocaffeine gave 8-alkylmercaptocaffeine products in excellent to quantitative yields. In addition, the impact of parameters on sample reaction is discussed.

Synthesis and structure of dinitrosyl iron complexes with secondary thiolate bridging ligands [Fe2(μ-SCHR2)2(NO)4], R = Me, Ph

New dinitrosyl iron complexes of binuclear structure [Fe2(μ-SCHMe2)2(NO)4] and [Fe2(μ-SCHPh2)2(NO)4] were first synthesized employing new method from Fe(CO)5, corresponding thiol, and EtONO. Complexes structures were determined by XRD technique. DFT calculations were performed to probe the cis-conformer structures in gas and solution phases. NO donor ability of the complex with isopropyl thiolate ligand was studied.
