Blog Article

Lithium dialkylcuprates undergo conjugate addition to thiochromones to afford 2-alkylthiochroman-4-ones in good yields.This approach provide an efficient and general synthetic approach to privileged sulfur-containing structural motifs and valuable precursors for many pharmaceuticals, starting from common substrates-thiochromones.Good yields junk baller band of 2-alkyl-substituted thiochroman-4-ones are attained with lithium dialkylcuprates, lithium bvs poult start alkylcyanocuprates or substoichiometric amount of copper salts.The use of commercially available inexpensive alkyllithium reagents will expedite the synthesis of a large library of 2-alkyl substituted thiochroman-4-ones for additional synthetic applications.
