The cascade process demonstrates divergent synthesis, achieving high yields of compounds with specific stereochemistry and scalability.
A highly chemoselective consecutive cross-coupling/cyclization cascade of β-ketothioamides with dihaloalkanes has been achieved under transition-metal free condition, enabling the formation of methylene-functionalized thiazolidines and 1,3-thiazinanes at room temperature in open air in high yields. The typical features of this straightforward sustainable approach include readily accessible starting materials, simple one-pot operation, atom-/step-economy, cost-effective, good substrate scope, and scalability. Noteworthy, HX is the only by-product, and stereochemistry of the exocyclic methylene moiety was assigned to have Z-configuration. Late-stage functionalization could provide new opportunities for the discovery of N, S-heterocyclic drugs, and other potential functional molecules.
