Application of the Baylis-Hillman methodology in the construction of novel heterocyclic derivatives

Baylis-Hillman reactions of 2,2’-dithiodibenzaldehyde with the acyclic alkenes, methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) and methyl acrylate have afforded the thiochromene derivatives in moderate yields, and this approach has been extended to the use of the cyclic alkenes, 2-cyclohexenone and 2-cyclopentenone to a...
