Glycosyl Bunte Salts: A Class of Intermediates for Sugar Chemistry.
S-Glycosyl thiosulfates have been discovered as a new class of synthetic intermediates in sugar chemistry, named "glycosyl Bunte salts" after 19th-century German chemist, Hans Bunte. The synthesis was achieved by direct condensation of unprotected sugars and sodium thiosulfate using a formamidine-type dehydrating agent in water-acetonitrile mixed solvent. The application of glycosyl Bunte salts is demonstrated with transformation reactions into other glycosyl compounds such as a 1-thio sugar, a glycosyl disulfide, a 1,6-anhydro sugar, and an O-glycoside.
Transition-metal-free KI-catalyzed regioselective sulfenylation of 4-anilinocoumarins using Bunte salts.
An efficient and eco-friendly protocol for the KI-catalyzed regioselective sulfenylation of 4-anilinocoumarins with Bunte salts was established. The reaction worked smoothly under metal-free conditions and afforded a wide range of sulfenylated 4-anilinocoumarins with potential bioactivity in moderate to excellent yields. This method would expand the still limited scope of synthesis methods for C-S bond formation using Bunte salts.
