Catalyst- and additive-free syntheses of rhodanine and S-alkyl dithiocarbamate derivatives from sulfoxonium ylides†
Abstract
An efficient catalyst- and additive-free facile access to rhodanine and S-alkyl dithiocarbamate derivatives via multi-component reaction of amines, CS2 and α-ester sulfoxonium ylides in methanol has been described. The new synthetic methods offer excellent synthetic prospects for several functionalized rhodanines and S-alkyl dithiocarbamates with simple operational procedures.
