摘要

Abstract A novel copper-catalyzed, base-free direct thiolation of xanthines and related heterocycles is described, featuring the use of inexpensive Cu (OAc) 2· H 2 O as the catalyst, O 2 as a clean and cheap oxidant, and easy-to-handle disulfides as the thiolation reagents. It works well for both aryl and alkyl disulfides. Moreover, the resultant products can be converted into 8-(hetero) aryl-or alkenyl-substituted xanthines in good yields via the ...
