A KOH-promoted unusual deoxidative coupling reaction of β-sulfinyl esters with benzylic trimethylammonium salts to produce thioethers is discovered for the first time. If quaternary ammonium salts synthesized from enantiomerically enriched amines are adopted, highly enantiomerically enriched benzyl thioethers (>95-99% ee) with configurations opposite to those of the enantiomerically enriched amines are obtained.

A novel strategy for the synthesis of sulfides and selenides from phosphonium salts and thio- or selenesulfonates, commercially available compounds, is described. When phosphoranes were used in the reaction, different products were obtained. The methodology does not require the use of metals, reactive species, or anhydrous conditions to be performed.

A nickel-catalyzed oxidative dehydrogenative coupling reaction of alkane with thiol for the construction of C(sp3)-S bond has been established, affording more than 50 alkyl thioethers. Notably, pharmaceutical and agrochemicals, such as Provigil, Chlorbenside and Pyridaben, were readily synthesized by this approach. The sterically hindered ligand BC and disulfide which was formed in situ oxidation of thiol, efficiently avoiding nickel-catalyst poisoning. A set of mechanistic experiments disclose both Ni-catalyzed and Ni-free HAA processes.

At present, there are many sulfur-containing drugs used for treating various diseases in the market, such as antipsychotic drug chloropropylthiophene; and sulfide has a wide biological activity, and not only can be easily converted into other types of sul

The invention discloses a synthesis method of an aryl-alkyl and aryl-aryl thioether compound represented by a formula (III). According to the synthesis method, aryl tetrafluoroboric acid diazonium salt is taken as a reaction raw material in a reaction solvent, aryl and alkyl thiosulfate is taken as a sulfurizing agent, and the materials react under the catalysis action of visible light and a photosensitive agent to obtain the aryl-alkyl and aryl-aryl thioether compound. According to the synthesis method, the raw materials are easy to obtain and are cheap, the reaction operation is simple, the reaction condition is mild and environment-friendly, the yield is higher, the functional group tolerance is excellent, later modification of drugs is successfully realized, and an efficient C-S bond construction method is provided for medicinal chemistry and biological orthogonal chemistry research.

This study presents thioether construction involving alkyl/aryl thiosulfates and diazonium salt catalyzed by visible-light-excited [Ru(bpy)3Cl2] at room temperature in 44-86 % yield. Electron paramagnetic resonance studies found that thiosulfate radical formation was promoted by K2CO3. Conversely, radicals generated from BnSH or BnSSBn (Bn=benzyl) were clearly suppressed, demonstrating the special property of thiosulfate in this system. Transient absorption spectra confirmed the electron-transfer process between [Ru(bpy)3Cl2] and 4-MeO-phenyl diazonium salt, which occurred with a rate constant of 1.69×109 M-1 s-1. The corresponding radical trapping product was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The full reaction mechanism was determined together with emission quenching data. Furthermore, this system efficiently avoided the over-oxidation of sulfide caused by H2O in the photoexcited system containing Ru2+. Both aryl and heteroaryl diazonium salts with various electronic properties were investigated for synthetic compatibility. Both alkyl- and aryl-substituted thiosulfates could be used as substrates. Notably, pharmaceutical derivatives afforded late-stage sulfuration smoothly under mild conditions.

We report here an efficient and mild method for constructing C-S bonds. The reactions were carried out with Na2S2O3 as a sulfurating reagent, CuSO4 as a catalyst, and water as solvent without any surfactant. The products were achieved in moderate to excellent yields at room temperature under air. Notably, this reaction is compatible with various biomolecules including amino acids, oligosaccharides, nucleosides, proteins, and cell lysates. This journal is

The stereoselective oxidation of differently functionalised benzyl phenyl sulfides has been examined by using enantiopure TiIV trialkanolamine complexes. These complexes efficiently catalyse the sulfoxidation with good stereoselectivities. The
