68524-30-1, In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 68524-30-1, name is 2-[(Diphenylmethyl)thio]acetamide belongs to amides-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below.
Asymmetric synthesis of (-)-2-(diphenylmethyl)sulphinylacetamideGeneral procedure for examples 1 to 10 : Diphenylmethylthioacetamide (7.70 g ; 0.03 mol ; 1.0 eq) was dissolved in the solvent (toluene ; 77 mL ; 10 vol.) under argon. To the solution were added (S,S)-(-)-diethyl-tartrate (1.23 g ; 0.006 mol; 0.2 eq) and titanium (IV) tetraisopropoxide (0.85 g ; 0.88 mL ; 0.003 mol; 0.1 eq) and water (27 muL minus the sum of water present in reactants and solvent already introduced ; 0.0015 mol ; 0.05 eq) at 55C. In these conditions, the resulting chiral titanium complex has the stoichiometry (DET/Ti(OiPr)4/H2O : 2/1/0.5) and represents 0.1 eq of diphenylmethylthioacetamide. Stirring was maintained at 55C during 50 minutes. After cooling to room temperature (25C), were added to the mixture diisopropylethylamine (0.39 g ; 0.52 mL ; 0.003 mol ; 0.1 eq) and cumene hydroperoxide (4.55 g ; 5.0 mL ; 0.03 mol ; 1.0 eq). After contacting during about an hour, the formed precipitate is isolated by filtration. All the following experiments were performed in accordance with the conditions of the general procedure, by modifying parameters as indicated in tables 1-10.; Example 2 : Influence of the amount of water on the enantioselectivity of asymmetric oxidation In this experiment, the ratio of water was varied with respect to the titanium tetraisopropoxide from 0 to 1 equivalent, all the other parameters being as defined in the above general procedure. Notably, the ratio of the titanium chiral complex was maintained at 0.1 equivalent with respect to the diphenylmethylthioacetamide. [Table 2] EntryAmount of water (equivalent)E. e. (%)Purity (%)Yield (%)1080-90.320.493> 999230.894> 9988419199.590 – = Not determined These results show that the amount of water has an effect on the enantioselectivity of the reaction. Thus, the best enantioselectivities are achieved when an amount of water comprised between 0.4 and 0.8 equivalents are used. On the opposite, the enantioselectivity drops notably in the absence of water.
The synthetic route of 2-[(Diphenylmethyl)thio]acetamide has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
