- CATALYSTS FOR ARYL SULFIDE SYNTHESIS AND METHOD OF PRODUCING ARYL SULFIDES
-
The present invention relates to the formation of aryl sulfides and aryl thiols from aryl halides and thiols, thiolates or thiolate equivalents. The present invention provides a catalyst for the coupling of aryl halides with alkyl or aryl thiols or a hydrogen sulfide equivalent to form aryl alkyl, aryl silyl or diaryl sulfides. The reaction encompasses bromoarenes and other similar compounds containing leaving groups as well as nitrile, ester, keto, free hydroxyl, free amino, free carboxylic acid and other common functionalities. The invention can be used to prepare pharmaceutical compounds, especially including their intermediates, agricultural agents and aryl sulfide polymers.

- Highly efficient and functional-group-tolerant catalysts for the palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl chlorides with thiols
-
The cross-coupling reaction of aryl chlorides with aliphatic and aromatic thiols catalyzed by palladium complexes of the strongly binding bisphosphine CyPF-tBu ligand (1) is reported. Most of the reactions catalyzed by complexes of ligand 1 occur with turnover numbers that exceed those of previous catalysts by two orders of magnitude. The reactions occur with excellent yields, broad scope and high tolerance of functional groups. Coupling of aryl halides with thiols in the presence of low loadings of catalysts derived from other Josiphos type ligands, as well as ligands of other structural types, are also described.
