Michael Addition of Aryl Thiols to 3-(2,2,2-Trifluoroethylidene)Oxindoles under Catalyst-Free Conditions: The Rapid Synthesis of Sulfur-Containing Oxindole Derivatives
A mild and efficient catalyst-free method for the rapid synthesis at room temperature of 3-thiomethylated oxindole derivatives has been achieved via the Michael addition of aryl thiols to ring and 1-substituted 3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethylidene)oxindoles in dichloromethane. The method was applicable to a wide range of thiols and variously substituted 3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethylidene)oxindoles under mild conditions as demonstrated by the synthesis in high yields with good diastereoselectivities of 30 3-thiomethylated oxindoles bearing a trifluoromethyl group.
