A novel formal cross-coupling of aryl methyl sulfones and alcohols affording alkyl aryl ethers via an SRN1 pathway is developed. Two marketed antitubercular drugs were efficiently prepared employing this approach as the key step. A dimsyl-anion initiated radical chain process was revealed as the major pathway. DFT calculations indicate that the formation of a radical anion via nucleophilic addition of alkoxide to the aryl radical is the key step in determining the observed chemoselectivity.

One of the fundamental and highly valuable transformations in organic chemistry is the nucleophilic substitution of alcohols. Traditionally, these reactions require strategies that employ stoichiometric hazardous reagents and are associated with difficulty in purification of the by-products. To overcome these challenges, here, we report a simple route toward the diverse conversion of alcohols via an SN2 pathway, in which blue light-promoted iodination is used to form alkyl iodide intermediates from simple unreactive alcohols. The scope of the process tolerates a range of nucleophiles to construct C-N, C-O, C-S, and C-C bonds. Furthermore, we also demonstrate that this method can be used for the preparation and late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals, as highlighted by the syntheses of thiocarlide, butoxycaine, and pramoxine.

Symmetrical and unsymmetrical analogues of the antimycobacterial agent isoxyl-have been synthesized and tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and Mycobacterium bovis BCG, some showing an increased bactericidal effect. In particular, compounds 1-(p-n-butylphenyl)-3-(4-propoxy-phenyl) thiourea (10) and 1-(p-n-butylphenyl)-3-(4-n-butoxy-phenyl) thiourea (11) showed an approximate 10-fold increase in in vitro potency compared to isoxyl, paralleled by increased inhibition of mycolic acid biosynthesis in M. bovis BCG. Interestingly, these isoxyl analogues showed relatively poor inhibition of oleate production, suggesting that the modifications have changed the spectrum of biological activity.
