A Novel Consecutive Three-Component Coupling-Addition-S_NAr (CASNAR) Synthesis of 4H-Thiochromen-4-ones

Abstract

4H-Thiochromen-4-ones and 4H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-4-ones are readily synthesized in good yields by a consecutive one-pot, three-component coupling-addition-S _N Ar (CASNAR) sequence starting from aroyl chlorides, alkynes, and sodium sulfide nonahydrate.

alkynes - catalysis - CC coupling - heterocycles - multicomponent reactions

Representative Procedure - Synthesis of 2-Phenyl-4 H -thiochromen-4-one (1c; Table 2, Entry 3)
In a 10 mL microwave tube PdCl_{2 (}PPh₃)₂ (15 mg, 0.02 mmol) and CuI (8 mg, 0.04 mmol) were dissolved in degassed THF (4 mL). Then, to this orange soln acid chloride 3c (1.25 mmol), alkyne 4c (1.00 mmol), and Et₃N (1.05 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 1 h. Finally, Na₂S˙9H₂O (5) followed by EtOH (1 mL) were added to this suspension, and the reaction mixture was heated at 90 ˚C in the microwave cavity for 90 min. After cooling to r.t., the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the crude products were purified by SiO₂ flash column chromatography (hexane-EtOAc) to afford the analytically pure 4H-thiochromen-4-one 1c in 174 mg (73%) yield as a yellow solid, mp 122 ˚C.
