alcohols, heteroaryl halides, and thiourea has been developed for direct and selective synthesis of heteroaryl thioethers. This method can be easily scaled up to the gram scale and extended to dialkyl thioethers, heteroaryl selenides, benzothiazoles, and some antimycobacterially‐active thioethers. Mechanisticstudies revealed that a by‐product‐promoted in situ C–O activation of alcohols to more reactive

Thio analogues of purine, pyridine, and pyrimidine were prepared based on the initial activity screening of several analogues of these heterocycles against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Certain 6-thio-substituted purine analogues described herein showed moderate to good inhibitory activity. In particular, two purine analogues 9-(ethylcarboxymethyl)-6-(decylthio)9H-purine (20) and 9-(ethylcarboxymethyl)-6-(dodecylthio)-9H-purine (21) exhibited MIC values of 1.56 and 0.78 mug/mL respectively against the Mtb H(37)Rv strain. N-9-Substitution apparently enhances the antimycobacterial activity in the purine series described herein.

The reaction of chiral (hetero)aryl benzyl sulfoxides with Grignard reagents affords enantiomerically pure diarylalkanes in up to 98 % yield and greater than 99.5 % enantiomeric excess. This ligand coupling reaction is tolerant to multiple substitution patterns and provides access to diverse areas of chemical space in three operationally simple steps from commercially available reagents. This strategy
