Two benzyne-enabled desulfurization reactions have been demonstrated which convert diaryl sulfoxides and heteroaryl sulfoxides to biaryls and desulfurized heteroarenes, respectively. The reaction accessing biaryls tolerates a variety of functional groups, such as halides, pseudohalides, and carbonyls. Mechanistic studies reveal that both reactions proceed via a common assembly process but divergent disassemblies of the generated tetraaryl(heteroaryl) sulfuranes.
Method for directly synthesizing biarene compounds without metal catalysis

Paragraph 0030-0036, (2019/08/20)
The invention discloses a method for directly synthesizing biarene compounds without metal catalysis. The method is characterized in that one diaryl sulfoxide represented by a structural formula (I) shown in the description and trimethylsilyl phenyl trifluoromethanesulfonate represented by a structural formula (II) are subjected to a reaction in the presence of cesium fluoride to obtain one corresponding biarene compound represented by a formula (III) shown in the description. The method provided by the invention does not require to add any expensive metal catalyst during the reaction, therebyreducing the production costs; and the compounds have better compatibility with a substrate containing better leaving groups (such as halogen and OTs) on an aromatic ring.

A general method is presented for the synthesis of alkylated arenes by the chemoselective combination of two electrophilic carbons. Under the optimized conditions, a variety of aryl and vinyl bromides are reductively coupled with alkyl bromides in high yields. Under similar conditions, activated aryl chlorides can also be coupled with bromoalkanes. The protocols are highly functional-group tolerant (-OH, -NHTs, -OAc, -OTs, -OTf, -COMe, -NHBoc, -NHCbz, -CN, -SO2Me), and the reactions are assembled on the benchtop with no special precautions to exclude air or moisture. The reaction displays different chemoselectivity than conventional cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura, Stille, and Hiyama-Denmark reactions. Substrates bearing both an electrophilic and nucleophilic carbon result in selective coupling at the electrophilic carbon (R-X) and no reaction at the nucleophilic carbon (R-[M]) for organoboron (-Bpin), organotin (-SnMe3), and organosilicon (-SiMe2OH) containing organic halides (X-R-[M]). A Hammett study showed a linear correlation of σ and σ(-) parameters with the relative rate of reaction of substituted aryl bromides with bromoalkanes. The small ρ values for these correlations (1.2-1.7) indicate that oxidative addition of the bromoarene is not the turnover-frequency determining step. The rate of reaction has a positive dependence on the concentration of alkyl bromide and catalyst, no dependence upon the amount of zinc (reducing agent), and an inverse dependence upon aryl halide concentration. These results and studies with an organic reductant (TDAE) argue against the intermediacy of organozinc reagents.
