Modular access to sulfur substituted analogues of isocytosine via photoredox catalysis

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Aug 1;60(63):8256-8259. doi: 10.1039/d4cc02076f.

Abstract

A photoredox approach for synthesizing sulfur-substituted analogues of isocytosine via coupling of modular phenyl propargyl chloride with thiourea has been reported. The resulting product with an amine group was found amenable to various late-stage modifications, providing access to a broad range of sulfur-containing isocytosine derivatives.
