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.
