The effect of S-alkylation on organocatalytic enamine activation through imidazolidine-4-thiones

Imidazolidine-4-thiones have been suggested as potential prebiotic organocatalysts for light-driven α-alkylations of aldehydes by bromoacetonitrile. However, imidazolidine-4-thiones react with bromoacetonitrile to give S-cyanomethylated dihydroimidazoles. Kinetic studies show that enamines derived f...

description Imidazolidine-4-thiones have been suggested as potential prebiotic organocatalysts for light-driven α-alkylations of aldehydes by bromoacetonitrile. However, imidazolidine-4-thiones react with bromoacetonitrile to give S-cyanomethylated dihydroimidazoles. Kinetic studies show that enamines derived from these cyclic secondary amines and aldehydes are more nucleophilic than enamines derived from aldehydes and MacMillan organocatalysts.
