The newly prepared complex [Pd(IPr*OMe)(cin)(Cl)] provides high catalytic activity for carbon–sulfur cross-coupling reactions. Nonactivated and deactivated aryl halides were successfully coupled with a large variety of aryl- and alkylthiols using this well-defined palladium N-heterocycliccarbene (NHC) complex.
Barriers for the EZ interconversion of atropisomers of 1-naphthyl sulfoxides (ArSOR) having a methyl group at position 2 of the naphthalene moiety were measured by variable-temperature NMR. Their values were found to cover the range 10.6-18.4 kcal mol-1, the extreme values corresponding to derivatives 1 (R = Me) and 4 (R = Bu(t)), respectively. NOE and LIS measurements indicated that the Z atropisomer is more stable than the E but that the absence of the methyl group at position 2 of the naphthalene moiety reverses this trend, rendering E more stable than Z. Solid-state NMR and X-ray diffraction of 4 established that only the more stable atropisomer (Z) is present in the crystalline state. Molecular mechanics calculations suggest that the Z,E interconversion process might occur by a rotation pathway having an opposite direction in the case of the more hindered derivatives 3 and 4 (R = Pr(i) and Bu(t), respectively) with respect to the less hindered 1 and 2 (R = Me and Et, respectively). The enantiomers, which are due to the presence of the asymmetric sulfur atom, were resolved on a chiral stationary phase (DACH-DNB) having an SS configuration. Asymmetric oxidation reactions were employed to assign the absolute R configuration to the more retained enantiomers of alkyl aryl sulfoxides. The opposite trend (S being retained longer) was observed for diaryl sulfoxides such as 5 (R = Ph). In the case of the derivative with the largest interconversion barrier, sulfoxide 4, it was also possible to resolve (at -35-degrees-C) the two enantiomeric forms and their associated atropisomers. The use of on-line CD detection and the knowledge of the NMR assignments allowed us to unambiguously assign the elution order of the four species as ES, ER, ZS, ZR.

4-Vinylbenzyl phenyl ether, 4-phenylbenzyl phenyl ether, 1- and 2-naphtllylmethyl phenyl ethers react with sodium thiophenolate under photochemical stimulation with replacement of the phenoxy group. The composition of reaction products and relation of reactivity to the structure of substrates is consistent with anion-radical mechanism. The corresponding methoxy and cyano derivatives do not undergo the reaction.
