Abstract

Copper or silver salts promote a domino addition–cyclization reaction between terminal alkynes, carbon disulfide, and oxiranes in a regioselective manner to afford 1,4-oxathiane derivatives in good yield.

  • 18 Typical Procedure for Preparation of 4 and 6 To a mixture of terminal alkyne (1.5–2.0 mmol), Cu(OAc)2 (0.1–0.2 mmol), sodium ascorbate (0.2–0.3 mmol), and (i-Pr)2NEt (1.5–2.0 mmol) in H2O–t-BuOH (2:1, 3 mL) at 0 °C were added CS2 (3 mmol) and the oxirane or aziridine (1.0 mmol). After 30 min the resulting brownish mixture was warmed to ambient temperature and stirred for 8–14 h. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was diluted with EtOAc (5 mL) and sat. NH4Cl solution (5 mL) was added. The mixture was stirred for an additional 30 min and the organic layer separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 4 mL), and the combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography (silica gel; hexane–EtOAc, 3:1) to give the pure product.
