A Mild, Nonbasic Synthesis of Thioethers. The Copper-Catalyzed Coupling of Boronic Acids with N-Thio(alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl)imides
摘要:
graphicA new synthesis of thioethers is described. The reaction of boronic acids with aryl, heteroaryl, and alkyl N-thloimides in the presence of catalytic quantities of a Cu(l) carboxylate affords good to excellent yields of thioethers. This reaction takes place in the absence of a base under mild conditions (THF, 45-50 degreesC, 2.5-12 h) and represents an interesting complement to known methods for thioether synthesis.
An aerobic metal-free, visible-light-induced regioselective thiolation of phenols with thiophenols is reported. The cross-coupling protocol exhibits great functional group tolerance and high regioselectivity. Mechanistic studies reveal that the disulfide radical cation plays a crucial role in the visible-light catalysis of aerobic thiolation. Simply controlling the equivalent ratio of substrates enables
The C–S bond formation from arylhalides and thiols has been well established under various catalytic systems. In this work, user-friendly sulfinates have been exploited as an efficient sulfenylating reagent in the C–Scouplings through visible-light-induced photo/nickel dual catalysis under base- and external reductant-free conditions. A large number of aryl sulfide products were accessed with high
A nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative thioetherification of carboxylic acids with thiols was developed. Under the reaction conditions, benzoic acids, cinnamic acids, and benzyl carboxylic acids coupled with various thiols including both aromatic and aliphatic ones produce the corresponding thioethers in up to 99% yields. Moreover, this reaction was applicable to the modification of bioactive molecules
