Area of Science:

  • Organic Chemistry
  • Synthetic Chemistry

Background:

  • Thiol groups are generally incompatible with Suzuki reactions.
  • Existing protective groups for thiols can lead to side reactions.
  • A novel side reaction, sulfur-assisted acylation of boronic acids, has been observed with thioesters.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a new protective group for thiols compatible with Suzuki coupling.
  • To investigate and describe the mechanism of sulfur-assisted acylation of boronic acids.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of the 2-methoxyisobutyryl protective group.
  • Tuning electronic and steric properties of acyl residues.
  • Reaction optimization and mechanistic studies of thioester side reactions.

Main Results:
