Published: July 2011

Enantiomerically pure tertiary thiols provide a major synthetic challenge, and despite the importance of chiral sulfur-containing compounds in biological and medicinal chemistry, surprisingly few effective methods are suitable for the asymmetric synthesis of tertiary thiols. This review details the most practical of the methods available.

The mechanism of the base-catalyzed thiol-epoxide stage of the thiol-ene/thiol-epoxide curing process was investigated using quantum chemical tools. This study searched for conventional tertiary amines with low to medium basicity as initiators to control reaction rates and tailor industrial applications. Challenges arise from the stronger basicity of initiators, leading to an uncontrollable and short curing application period.

Photochemical Deracemization of Lactams with Deuteration Enabled by Dual Hydrogen Atom Transfer.

Photochemical deracemization has emerged as one of the most straightforward approaches to access highly enantioenriched compounds in recent years. While excited-state events such as energy transfer, single electron transfer, and ligand-to-metal charge transfer have been leveraged to promote stereoablation, approaches relying on hydrogen atom transfer, which circumvent the limitations imposed by the triplet energy and redox potential of racemic substrates, remain underexplored. Conceptually, the most attractive method for tertiary stereocenter deracemization might be hydrogen atom abstraction followed by hydrogen atom donation.
