Abstract

Treatment of different silylated allenes with hexamethyldisilathiane (HMDST) in the presence of CoCl₂·6H₂O affords an easy and high yielding access to α,β-unsaturated thioacylsilanes, which undergo a self-dimerization reaction to afford polyfunctionalized 1,2-dithiins as the major products.

Reaction of silylated allenes with HMDST affords the generation of unsubstituted thiopropenoylsilanes, which undergo a self-dimerization reaction to silylated 1,2-dithiins.

Citation Excerpt :
Other groups have generated thioacrolein using aluminum [106] or selenium reagents [107]. Reports on cycloaddition reactions with substitution in the thioacrolein heterodiene have been sporadic at best, with carbon groups [106], silicon (thioacylsilanes) [108], and sulfur substituents [109] promoting the cycloadditions in favor of the 1,2-dithiin regioisomer. Block has also rigorously studied mixed cycloadditions between thioacrolein as the heterodiene and other dienophiles [110].
The edible plants garlic (Allium sativum) and broccoli (Brassica olevacea) are rich in sulfur-containing compounds that are reported to offer protection against a number of diseases, including cancer. These compounds have a sulfide, polysulfide, thiosulfinate, or isothiocyanate functional group that is proposed to be the bioactive pharmacophore. Specific bioactive compounds commonly studied from garlic and broccoli includes allicin, ajoene, diallyl trisulfide, sulforaphane, and phenyl isothiocyanate. Herein we review the biosynthesis of these compounds in the plant as well as current synthetic approaches to these compounds and their derivatives in the laboratory. Both allylsulfides and isothiocyanates are electrophilic, able to react with cysteine sulfhydryl groups in peptides or proteins to form mixed disulfides and dithiocarbamates, respectively, in which the resultant lowering of glutathione levels and posttranslational modification of specific protein targets is proposed to trigger a number of biological outcomes. Herein we also summarize the current understanding behind the synthesis, chemistry, and protein targets of allylsulfides and isothiocyanates and their derivatives in cancer cells.

This chapter discuss the thio-Claisen rearrangement, the application of Lawesson's reagent in synthesis, and the role of 1,3-dithianes in natural product synthesis. This chapter discusses not only their synthesis and fictionalization but also their transformation into a range of useful products. Developments in marine ladder polyethers that include synthetic studies on brevetoxin, ciguatoxinm, gambierol, gymnocin-A, and yessotoxin are also discussed. Syntheses of the macrolides phorboxazole A, phomactin, leucascandrolide A, and apicularen A have been illustrated in the chapter.
Synthesis of new silylated sulfur-containing heterocycles through thionation of bis(acylsilanes)
2004, Tetrahedron Letters
The thionation of bis(acylsilanes) with spacers of variable size with hexamethyldisilathiane under cobalt(II) chloride or trimethylsilyl triflate catalysis affords 2,5-bis(trialkylsilyl)-thiophenes, 2,6-bis(trialkylsilyl)-4H-thiopyrans and 2,7-bis(trialkylsilyl)-4,5-dihydrothiepine generally along with a minor amount of the corresponding oxo analogue. The synthesis of both symmetrical and unsymmetrical bis(trialkylsilyl) derivatives was achieved.
