General description

1,4-Dithiane-2,5-diol undergoes bifunctional squaramide catalyzed sulfa-Michael/aldol cascade reaction with chalcones to afford trisubstituted tetrahydrothiophenes. It participates in diastereoselective [3+3] cycloaddition with azomethine imines catalyzed by 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane. It is a mercaptoacetaldehyde dimer and an efficient synthon for incorporating a thiol group to in situ generated nitroalkenes.

Application

1,4-Dithiane-2,5-diol was used in the synthesis of:
  • substituted tetrahydrothiophene derivatives
  • 2-amino-3-(arylsulfonyl)thiophenes, potential antiviral and antitumor agents

Based on general SARs previously described for anti-HIV-1 diarylsulfone derivatives, a series of 2-amino- and 2-carboxamido-3-arylsulfonylthiophenes has been prepared and evaluated as potential antiviral and antitumor agents. In cell culture, some of the 2-aminothiophenes exhibited moderate and selective activity against

A bifunctional squaramide catalyzed sulfa-Michael/aldol cascade reaction between 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol and chalcones with a low catalyst loading has been developed. Trisubstituted tetrahydrothiophenes with three contiguous stereogenic centers are obtained in a highly stereocontrolled manner. Additionally, a remarkable temperature effect on reaction
