Copper-catalyzed intramolecular N-S bond formation by oxidative dehydrogenative cyclization

摘要

Copper-catalyzed synthesis of benzo[d]isothiazol-3(2H)-ones and N-acyl-benzothiazetidine by intramolecular dehydrogenative cyclization is described. In this reaction, a new nitrogen-sulfur (N-S) bond is formed by N-H/S-H coupling. The present reaction has high functional group tolerance and gives products in gram scale. This method promotes double cyclization, allowing for synthesis of a drug intermediate.
