Herein, a general, solvent-free and straightforward thiomethylation of electron deficient heterocycles using BF3·SMe2 as a dual thiomethyl source and Lewis acidic activator is presented. A range of heterocycles including pyrimidine, pyrazine, pyridazine, thiazole and purine derivatives were successfully substituted using this method. An unexpected reductive property of BF3·SMe2 towards nitropyridines was also discovered including an intriguing tandem reduction/SMe insertion process in certain substrates. Notable features of the present work include its convenience and use of a non-malodorous reagent while the discovery of novel chemical transformations using BF3·SMe2 provides fundamental new insights into the reactivity of this commonly employed reagent.

To resolve the metabolite redox cycling associated with our earlier clinical compound 2, we carried out lead optimization of lead molecule 1. Compound 4 showed improved lipophilic ligand efficiency and demonstrated robust glucose lowering in diet-induced obese mice without a liability in predictive preclinical drug safety studies. Thus, it was selected as a clinical candidate and further studied in type 2 diabetic patients. Clinical data suggests no evidence of metabolite cycling, which is consistent with the preclinical profiling of metabolism.
