A general and practical method for the synthesis of alpha,alpha-difluoro(arylthio)methyl oxetanes has been reported. This method involves the reaction of alpha,alpha-difluoro(arylthio)methyl ketones with trimethylsulfoxonium halides, and features mild conditions, operational simplicity, a broad substrate scope, and high yields.
A general and practical method for the synthesis of alpha,alpha-difluoro(arylthio)methyl oxetanes that occurs by the reaction of alpha,alpha-difluoro(arylthio)methyl ketones with trimethylsulfoxonium halides is reported. This reaction proceeds via the sequential Corey-Chaykovsky epoxidation and regioselective ring-expansion pathways and features mild conditions, operational simplicity, gram-scalability, a broad substrate scope and high yields. alpha,alpha-Difluoro(arylthio)methyl oxiranes have been shown to be the reaction intermediates. The obtained alpha,alpha-difluoro(arylthio)methyl oxetanes were further converted into useful sulfone, butenolide, and tetrahydrofuran derivatives.
