A Reaction of Triazoles with Thioesters to Produce [beta]-Sulfanyl Enamides by Insertion of an Enamine Moiety into the Sulfur-Carbonyl Bond

N-Sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles react with thioesters in the presence of a rhodium(II) catalyst to produce [beta]-sulfanyl enamides in a stereoselective manner. The reaction proceeds through generation of an [alpha]-imino rhodium carbene complex, nucleophilic addition of the sulfur atom of a thioester on...

Summary:N-Sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles react with thioesters in the presence of a rhodium(II) catalyst to produce [beta]-sulfanyl enamides in a stereoselective manner. The reaction proceeds through generation of an [alpha]-imino rhodium carbene complex, nucleophilic addition of the sulfur atom of a thioester onto the carbenoid carbon atom, and subsequent intramolecular migration of the acyl group from the sulfur atom to the imino nitrogen atom. The method is successfully applied to a ring-expansion reaction of thiolactones, thus leading to the formation of sulfur-containing lactams.
