Arisawa, Mieko published the artcileRhodium-catalyzed 2-methylthiolation reaction of thiazoles/oxazoles using 2-(methylthio)thiazole, Application of 2-(Methylthio)thiazole, the publication is Heterocycles (2015), 90(2), 939-949, database is CAplus.
RhH(PPh3)4 and 1,3-bis(dicyclohexyl)phosphinopropane (dcypp) catalyze the 2-methylthiolation of oxazoles and thiazoles I (R1 = Me, Ph, pMeOC6H4, etc.; R2 = H, Me, n-C4H9, etc; X = O, S) using 2-(methylthio)thiazole as a thiolating reagent. The methylthio transfer reaction is under equilibrium and various 2-methylthiolated thiazoles and oxazoles II were obtained in moderate to good yields by removing thiazole under refluxing o-dichlorobenzene.
Heterocycles published new progress about 5053-24-7. 5053-24-7 belongs to thiazole, auxiliary class Thiazole,sulfides, name is 2-(Methylthio)thiazole, and the molecular formula is C4H5NS2, Application of 2-(Methylthio)thiazole.
