Synthesis of heterocyclic compounds with adamantane-like cage structures consisting of phosphorus, sulfur, and carbon

摘要

The synthesis of novel adamantane-like cage compounds consisting of phosphorus, sulfur, and carbon atoms was developed. We examined the reaction of a variety of acetophenone derivatives with P4S10 in refluxing benzene. A novel noradamantane-like cage compound was also synthesized, when the reaction of 2'-methoxyacetophenone with P4S10 was performed in refluxing toluene. In addition, by using the adamantane-like cage compound, 4,4'-dimethoxybenzophenone and N,N-dimethylbenzamide were successfully transformed into the corresponding thioketone (98%) and benzothioamide (89%), respectively.
