Arylthiols as Highly Chemoselective and Environmentally Benign Radical Reducing Agents
摘要:
Arylthiols serve as excellent environmentally benign reducing agents for organotellurium, organostibine, and organobismuthine compounds under radical conditions. Both small molecules and macromolecules possessing these heteroatorn groups are reduced under moderate thermal conditions to give near quantitative yields in most cases. The reduction shows high chemoselectivity with respect to the heteroatorn compounds the reactivity decreases in the order alkylbismuthines, alkylstibines, and alkyltellurides, while simple alkyl iodides could not be reduced. Alkyltellurides are selectively reduced in the presence of alkyl iodides even when an excess amount of arylthiol is used. Furthermore, alkylstibines are also selectively reduced in the presence of alkyltellurides. Moreover, the reduction conditions are compatible with the presence of a variety of polar functional groups in the substrates, products, and solvents, which are not tolerant under ionic and metal-catalyzed conditions. Carbon-carbon bond formation is possible with use of the carbon-centered radicals that are generated. The results clearly reveal the synthetic utility of arylthiols in organic synthesis.
A powerful electrophilic activator for organotellurium compounds was developed. Phenyltellanyl triflate (PhTeOTf) prepared in situ from dibromophenyl(phenyltellanyl)telluride and AgOTf selectively activated various organotellurium compounds in the presence of aromatic compounds yielding the corresponding Friedel–Crafts reaction products. Polymer-end organotellurium compounds were also activated by PhTeOTf providing the corresponding end-functionalized polymers.

AbstractAn important 13C NMR shielding effect on carbons bearing a heavy chalcogen is demonstrated. This effect is parallel to that induced by iodine, but to a lesser extent. For acyclic compounds and for partially saturated heterocycles, there is an excellent linear correlation between the 13C chemical shifts of carbons bearing a chalcogen and carbons bearing a halogen atom in the corresponding compound. The linearity of the relationship is less satisfactory with heteroaromatic compounds.

Synthesis of Rubidium and Cesium Tellurocarboxylates and an X-Ray Structural Analysis of Heavy Alkali Metal Monochalcogenocarboxylates
the corresponding sulfur and selenium isologues (4 and 5) also indicate a double bond [1.231(4) and 1.226(5) A] between the carbon and oxygen, respectively. The salts (2 and 3) readily react with iodomethane to afford the corresponding Te-methyl tellurocarboxylates in good yields. The reaction between 3 and tetramethylammonium chloride was found to give a novel quaternary ammonium salt (...
