Preparation of heterocyclic compounds by reaction of dimethyl and diethyl acetylene dicarboxylate (DMAD, DEAD) with thiosemicarbazone derivatives

Abstract

Different thiosemicarbazone derivatives react with dimethyl acetylene dicarboxylate (DMAD) and diethyl acetylene dicarboxylate (DEAD) by three different methods: a) in ethyl acetate solvent at ambient temperature, b) one-pot synthesis under microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions (three-component reaction between thiosemicarbazide, aldehyde/ ketone and DMAD or DEAD), c) a microwave-assisted synthesis under solvent-free conditions, to obtain five-membered S,N-heterocycles thiazolines in good to excellent yields. ©ARKAT USA, Inc.
