Abstract

A novel one-pot, four-component synthesis of 3-alkyl­dithiocarbonyloxazolidine derivatives from aminoethanols, ketones, carbon disulfide, and halides was developed. A series of substituted 3-alkyldithiocarbonyloxazolidine derivatives were synthesized in excellent yields utilizing this newly developed method.

Key words

Typical Procedure for the Synthesis of Compounds 3
To a solution of aminoethanol (2 mmol) in acetone (10 mL) was added anhyd K3PO4 (4 mmol), and the reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 30 min. CS2 (4 mmol) was then added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 20 min, and halide (2 mmol) was then added. Stirring was continued at r.t. until the reaction was completed (monitored by TLC). The precipitate was filtered and washed with acetone. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column (PE-EtOAc) to give the desired compounds 3.
