A novel epoxide 2 was formed as the major product in the reaction of 2-bromo-3-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone with 1,3-propanedithiol in the presence of triethylamine in 92% yield. Molecular oxygen is suggested to be the source of the added oxygen in 2, an oxidation product of its precursor 3. A strong base such as triethylamine is required to abstract the methyl hydrogen of 1,4-naphthoquinones, leading to the formation of 3 as well as 2.
在三乙胺的存在下,2-溴-3-甲基-1,4-萘醌与 1,3-丙二硫醇反应,生成主要产物新型环氧化物 2,产率为 92%。分子氧被认为是 2(其前体 3 的氧化产物)中加入氧的来源。强碱如三乙胺需要从 1,4-萘醌中提取甲基氢,从而形成 3 和 2。
