Ethyl 12-Sulfamoyl-abieta-8,11,13-trien-18-oate

We synthesized the novel compound ethyl 12-sulfamoyl-abieta-8,11,13-trien-18-oate in good yield from ethyl 12-sulfo-abieta-8,11,13-trien-18-oate via a two-step protocol. The product was comprehensively characterized by one- and two-dimensional NMR methods, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Synthesis and Oxidative Transformations of New Chiral Pinane-Type γ-Ketothiols: Stereochemical Features of Reactions

Chiral γ-ketothiols, thioacetates, thiobenzoate, disulfides, sulfones, thiosulfonates, and sulfonic acids were obtained from β-pinene for the first time. New compounds open up prospects for the synthesis of other polyfunctional compounds combining a biologically active pinane fragment with various pharmacophore groups. It was shown that the syntheses of sulfanyl and sulfonyl derivatives based on 2-norpinanone are characterized by high stereoselectivity in comparison with similar reactions of pinocarvone. The conditions for the preparation of diastereomerically pure thioacetyl and thiobenzoyl derivatives based on pinocarvone, as well as for the chemoselective oxidation of γ-ketothiols with chlorine dioxide to the corresponding thiolsulfonates and sulfonic acids, were selected. The effect of the VO(acac)₂ catalyst on the increase in the yields of thiosulfonates was shown. A new direction of the transformation of thiosulfonates with the formation of sulfones was revealed. In the case of pinocarvone-based sulfones, the configuration is inversed at the C2 atom. An epimerization scheme is proposed.

The synthesis of N,N′-disulfanediyl-bis(N′-((E)-benzylidene)acetohydrazide) from (E)-N′-benzylideneacetohydrazide and S8

Herein we report an oxidative coupling reaction for N–S/S–S bond formation from (E)-N′-benzylideneacetohydrazide and S₈ to furnish substituted N,N′-disulfanediyl-bis(N′-((E)-benzylidene) acetohydrazide). It provides a direct approach for the synthesis of disulfides with good yields.
