Abstract
An efficient synthesis of donor-acceptor type 1,1-bis(sulfonyl)cyclopropanes was achieved using sulfonium salts. The reaction of active bis(sulfonyl)methylene compounds with (1-aryl-2-bromoethyl)dimethylsulfonium bromides and potassium carbonate in aqueous ethyl acetate afforded the corresponding 2-aryl-1,1-bis(sulfonyl)cyclopropanes in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, the synthesis of 2,3-nonsubstituted 1,1-bis(sulfonyl)cyclopropanes from bis(sulfonyl)methanes was also achieved using (2-bromoethyl)diphenylsulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate. The resulting 1,1-bis(sulfonyl)cyclopropanes are expected to serve as versatile small-molecule synthons.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
