Abstract

The present paper summarizes a straightforward synthesis of 4,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazoles by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of thioisomünchnones. These reactions have been carried out in dichloromethane and are essentially complete within 60 min at room temperature. Under such mild conditions the asymmetric version has been explored as well. Unequivocal structure elucidation has been accomplished by means of one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques as well as X-ray structure analysis.

[20]   Typical Procedure (3): To a solution of 1 (1.0 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (3 mL) was added the corresponding azodicarboxylate (2, 1.0 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 60 min. After removal of the solvent under vacuum, the product crystallized from diethyl ether in moderate to good yields (40–65%, not optimized).

After, the reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum and washed with dry diethyl ether. Chloroform (40 mL) and triethylamine (0.5 mL, 3.6 mmol) were then added to the residue obtained and the mixture was refluxed for 10 min. The crude product was then washed with distilled water, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a viscous oil. This product was dissolved in dry chloroform (10 mL), treated with diethylazodicarboxylate (0.3 mL, 2.0 mmol), and left to react at room temperature for 1 h.
