We herein report a catalyst- and thiol-free method for synthesizing thioesters from arenes, carboxylic acids, and tetramethylthiourea in a one-pot process, by combining arene activation the interrupted Pummerer reaction with an electron donor-acceptor complex strategy. The method enables late-stage modification of complex bioactive molecules, and operates effectively under natural sunlight, highlighting its potential synthetic value.
我们在此报告一种无催化剂和硫醇的方法,该方法通过将芳烃活化、中断的普默勒尔反应与电子供体-受体络合物策略相结合,在一锅法中由芳烃、羧酸和四甲基硫脲合成硫酯。该方法能够对复杂的生物活性分子进行后期修饰,并在自然阳光下有效运行,突出了其潜在的合成价值。
