Thermal conversion of primary alcohols to disulfidesviaxanthate intermediates: an extension to the Chugaev elimination

Heating primaryO-alkylS-difluoro(ethoxycarbonyl)methyl xanthates yields disulfides. This extends to the Chugaev elimination.

Catalyst-free synthesis of thiazolidines via sequential hydrolysis/rearrangement reactions of 5-arylidenethiazolidin-4-ones at room temperature

Functionalized thiazolidines were obtained via the rearrangement reactions of 5-arylidenethiazolidin-4-ones at room temperature.

A concise synthesis of cyclobrassinin and its analogues via a thiyl radical aromatic substitution

Cyclobrassinin and its six and seven-membered ring analogues have been synthesized through a thiyl radical-mediated intramolecular aromatic substitution of brassinin derivatives.
