Abstract

A new and efficient thiochromenone S , S -dioxide-based photolabile protecting group for propargylic alcohols is described. Robust protection reactions were developed through copper (II)-catalyzed substitution of propargylic alcohols. Subsequent photodeprotection proceeded smoothly to give the corresponding propargylic alcohols quantitatively within 15 minutes, as demonstrated by 1 H NMR spectroscopy and HPLC. Notably, the photoproduct derived from the thiochromenone derivatives showed a high fluorescence quantum yield, permitting monitoring of the reaction progress by fluorescence spectroscopy. A new strategy for the synthesis of triazoles by a one-pot reaction is also presented.
