ABSTRACT

 

An efficient and organocatalytic synthetic protocol has been developed involving 2-Pyrrolidin-2yl-1H-benzimidazole (PBI) catalyzed synthesis of β-sulfido carbonyl compounds through reaction of thiophenols with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in good and excellent yield under mild reaction conditions. The synthetic process for PBI organocatalyst has also been developed. The synthesized organocatalyst was further employed for the synthesis of β-sulfido carbonyl compounds using α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds as substrates. We investigated the appropriated reaction condition by screening different solvents and conditions. The optimized reaction conditions further utilized to generate the library of β-sulfido analogues. All the synthesized analogs were characterized using spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques.
