S-Nitrosothiols (SNO) and their biological implications as an important post-translational modification are under active investigation. In our work on bioorthogonal reactions of protein SNO we have uncovered chemistry of this functionality that shows synthetic promise. Herein we report a phosphine-mediated reaction between SNO and aldehydes to form thioimines. A simple synthesis of benzoisothiazole based on this reaction is presented. ...[more]
