Abstract
A highly convergent and regioselective heteroannulation protocol for the synthesis of hitherto unreported highly substituted 2-amino-4-(aryl/alkyl)-5-(aroyl/heteroaroyl)-3-(cyano/carboalkoxy)-6-methylthio-4H-thiopyran derivatives has been developed. This one-pot three-component domino coupling of β-oxodithioesters, aldehydes, and malononitrile/ethyl or methyl cyanoacetate is promoted by 4-dimethylamino pyridine (DMAP) in solvent (dichloromethane (DCM)) as well as under solvent-free conditions. Systematic optimization of reaction parameters identified that the three-component coupling (3CC) protocol is tolerant to a wide array of functionality providing densely functionalized 4H-thiopyrans in excellent yields. The merit of this cascade Knoevenagel condensation/Michael addition/cyclization sequence is highlighted by its high atom-economy, excellent yields, and efficiency of producing three new bonds (two C-C and one C-S) and one stereocenter in a single operation.
