Article Synopsis
  • - A new method for creating S-alkyl substituted isothioureas is introduced, using cyclic sulfonium salts, isothiocyanates, and amines in a simple three-component reaction.
  • - This method allows for the production of these compounds through the ring-opening of various sulfonium salts, with yields ranging from moderate to good.
  • - Benefits of this strategy include ease of operation, compatibility with different functional groups, scalability for larger batches, and overall effective reaction rates.

A simple and efficient strategy has been developed for the synthesis of organic nitrate esters via visible-light-induced multi-component nitrooxylation reactions of α-diazoesters, cyclic ethers, and tert-butyl nitrite under open air atmosphere. This transformation could be conducted under mild and metal-free conditions to provide a number of organic nitrate esters in moderate to good yields using air as the green oxidant.
