Abstract
A one-pot approach has been developed for the synthesis of α-ketothioamide derivatives from sulfur ylides, nitrosobenzenes, and thioacetic acid. This protocol is carried out under mild reaction conditions in generally moderate to excellent yields without any precious catalysts, affording the derivatives with structural diversity. Additionally, a possible mechanism for this chemical transformation is proposed.

Abstract
The exploration of new polymer materials required the development of efficient, economic, robust, and scalable synthetic routes, taking energy consumption, environmental benefit, and sustainability into overall consideration. Herein, through retro-polymerization analysis of functional aromatic polythioureas, a multicomponent reaction of elemental sulfur, CH2Cl2, and aromatic amines was designed with the assistance of fluoride, and efficient, economic, and robust multicomponent polymerizations (MCPs) of these three abundantly available cheap monomers, elemental sulfur, CH2Cl2, and aromatic diamines, were developed to realize scalable conversion directly from sulfur to a series of functional aromatic polythioureas with high molecular weights (Mn up to 50,800 g/mol) in excellent yields (up to 98%). The synergistic cooperation of the strong and selective coordination of thiourea with gold ions and the redox property of aromatic polythiourea enable in situ reduction of Au3+ to elemental gold under a normal bench condition. Furthermore, the functional aromatic polythiourea could be chemically recycled through aminolysis with NH3·H2O to afford a diamine monomer in 83% isolated yield. The development of elemental sulfur-based MCP has brought the opportunity to access cost-effective and sustainable sulfur-containing functional polymer materials, which is anticipated to provide a solution for the utilization of sulfur waste and making profitable polymer materials.

Sulfur- and Amine- Promoted Multielectron Autoredox Transformation of Nitromethane: Multicomponent Access to Thiourea Derivatives. Chemistry 2024; 30:e202303703. [PMID: 37953668 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202303703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
Thiourea derivatives are in-demand motifs in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry and material science, yet redox methods for the synthesis that start from safe, simple, inexpensive and readily available feedstocks are scarce. In this article, we disclose the synthesis of these motifs using elemental sulfur and nitromethane as the starting materials. The method harnesses the multi-electron auto-redox property of nitromethane in the presence of sulfur and amines, delivering thiourea products without any added oxidant or reductant. Extension of this reaction to cyclizable amines and/or higher homologues of nitromethane led to a wide range of nitrogen heterocycles and thioamides. Operationally simple, the reactions are scalable, tolerate a wide range of functional groups, and can be employed for the direct functionalization of natural products. Mechanistically, the nitro group was found to act as an oxidant leaving group, being reduced to ammonia whereas sulfur, along with the role of a sulfur building block for the thiocarbonyl group, behaved as a complementary reductant, being oxidized to sulfate.
