Abstract

A simple and efficient method has been developed for the stereoselective synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted thiochromans from arylthiols and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes by using an acid- and a base-supported reagent system, Na₂CO₃/SiO₂-PPA/SiO₂. Michael addition of arylthiol to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes was promoted by Na₂CO₃/SiO₂, and then the product was cyclized in the presence of PPA/SiO₂.

Key words

stereoselective synthesis - thiochroman - supported reagents

Preparation of PPA/SiO ₂ .
PPA (4.0 g) and CHCl₃ (100 mL) were placed in the round-bottomed flask, and the mixture was stirred at 50 °C for 1 h. Then, SiO₂ [Wakogel C-200 (Wako Pure Chemical Ind. Ltd.), 16.0 g], which was dried in vacuo (10 mmHg) at
160 °C for 2 h, was added to the mixture, and the mixture was stirred for another 1 h. The CHCl₃ was removed with rotary evaporator and the resulting solid was dried in vacuo (10 mmHg) at r.t. for 3 h.

Preparation of Na ₂ CO ₃ /SiO ₂ . Silica gel [Wakogel C-200 (Wako Pure Chemical Ind. LTD.), 16.82 g] was added to a solution of Na₂CO₃ (30 mmol, 3.18 g) in distilled H₂O (100 mL), and the mixture was stirred at r.t. for 0.5 h. Then, H₂O was removed by rotary evaporator under reduced pressure, and the resulting reagent was dried in vacuo (10 mmHg) at 160 °C for 5 h.

Typical Procedure. A mixture of arylthiols (4.20 mmol), α,β-unsaturated aldehydes (2.00 mmol), Na₂CO₃/SiO₂ (1.88 mmol, 1.25 g) and PPA/SiO₂ (20 wt%, 3.00 g) was stirred in PhCl (15 mL) at 80 °C for 4 h, and then the used supported reagents were removed by filtration. The filtrate was evaporated to leave crude product, which was purified by column chromatography eluted with hexane-EtOAc (300:1).
