A facile approach to 2,2′-bipyridine based thiacrown ethers and their sulfoxides by DA-rDA reaction of 5,5′-bi-1,2,4-triazine thiamacrocycles. The conformation studies
Abstract:Diels-Alder/retro Diels-Alder (DA-rDA) reactions of 5,5′-bi-1,2,4-triazine thiamacrocycles 4a-c afforded medium-size 2,2′-bipyridine based thiacrown ethers 5a-c in good yield. The latter were oxidized to non-racemic monosulfoxides 7a-c using Davis oxaziridine and tested as chiral auxilaries in the asymmetric addition of diethyl zinc to benzaldehyde. The theoretical calculations at DFT /B3LYP/6-311G** level were conducted thus establishing cis or trans conformational preferences of the target thiamacrocycles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
