title: Preparation of trifluoromethylpyridine libraries.
abstract: S-Alkylation followed by heterocyclization of trifluoromethyl-3-cyano-2(1H)-pyridinethiones was used for preparation of libraries of S-alkyl trifluoromethylpyridines and thieno[2,3-b]pyridines. The S-alkylation (in water--DMF mixtures) was successful for all 18 alkylating agents employed (yields typically > 50%). S-Alkyl derivatives were further converted to corresponding thieno[2,3-b]pyridines via heterocyclization in base conditions (yields > 65%). Structures of new compounds were elucidated by a combination of IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis and were confirmed by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
