Abstract

The reaction of 2,2′-thiobis(1,3-diarylprop-2-en-1-ones) with malononitrile in the presence of sodium ethoxide under both thermal and solvent-free microwave conditions afforded a series of hitherto unknown 2e,6e-diaroyl-3e,5e-diaryl-4,4-dicyanothianes diastereoselectively in good yields via a double Michael addition. The structures of all the compounds have been elucidated by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis.
