Abstract
A novel approach for the synthesis of 1,3,4-oxa(thia)diazole aryl thioethers through a biocatalytic strategy has been introduced. By leveraging Myceliophthora thermophila laccase (Novozym 51003) as a catalyst, catechol undergoes oxidation to ortho-quinone, facilitating subsequent 1,4-thia-Michael addition reactions. The method offers efficiency and mild reaction conditions, demonstrating promise for sustainable synthesis pathways in organic chemistry. Using this approach, 13 new derivatives of 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxa(thia)diazole aryl thioethers, with a yield of 46–94%, were synthesized.
