- From Alkyl Halides to Ketones: Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Carbonylation Utilizing Ethyl Chloroformate as the Carbonyl Source
-
Ketones are an important class of molecules in synthetic and medicinal chemistry. Rapid and modular synthesis of ketones remains in high demand. Described here is a nickel-catalyzed three-component reductive carbonylation method for the synthesis of dialkyl ketones. A wide range of both symmetric and asymmetric dialkyl ketones can be accessed from alkyl halides and a safe CO source, ethyl chloroformate. The approach offers complementary substrate scope to existing carbonylation methods while avoiding the use of either toxic CO or metal carbonyl reagents.

- CuI promoted sulfenylation of organozinc reagents with arylsulfonyl chlorides
-
A CuI promoted sulfenylation of organozinc reagents with arylsulfonyl chlorides/PPh3 has been explored. This reaction proceeded smoothly through an alkyl/aryl radical (generated from organometallics) under mild conditions and produced the desired sulfide products in excellent yields.

- Efficient recyclable CuI-nanoparticle-catalyzed S-arylation of thiols with aryl halides on water under mild conditions
-
CuI nanoparticles efficiently catalyzed the C-S cross coupling of aryl and alkyl thiols with aryl halides in the absence of ligands on water under mild conditions. A wide range of diaryl sulfides and aryl alkyl sulfides are synthesized in good to excellent yields utilizing this protocol. This procedure is particularly noteworthy given its mild conditions, avoiding the undesired formation of disulfides through oxidation of thiols. The recovery and successful reutilization of the catalyst is described. Furthermore, the directed synthesis of bisarylated product is presented. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012.

- INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO THE SYNTHESIS OF SULPHIDES AND THEIR CORRESPONDING SULPHONES
-
A general and efficient synthetic approach to aryl-aryl bis-sulphides with aliphatic or aromatic bridges via the nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) of cyclopentadienyliron arene complexes with a number of dithiols followed by photolytic demetallation is presented in this work.The oxidation of the bis(cyclopentadienyliron) arene complexes containing bis-sulphide linkages with 3-chlorobenzoic acid gave their corresponding sulphones in very good yield (70-95percent).Mixed ether/sulphide and ether/sulphone complexes were also prepared following the same synthetic strategy.Reactions of sulphide and sulphone diiron complexes with terminal chloro groups with a number of oxygen, sulphur and carbon nucleophiles allowed for the functionalization of these complexes.The use of photolytic demetallation as a means of liberating the modified arene ligands proved to be very successful.The mild conditions, high yields and low cost of the starting iron complexes make this method one of the most general and practical routes to sulphide and sulphone compounds.

- Reactions of Alkylmercurials with Heteroatom-Centered Acceptor Radicals
-
The relative reactivities of alkylmercury halides toward PhS., PhSe., or I. decrease drastically from R = tert-butyl to R = sec-alkyl to R = n-butyl, indicative that R. is formed in the rate-determining step in the attack of these radicals upon RHgCl.The alkyl radicals thus formed will enter into chain reactions in which a heteroatom-centered radical (A.) is regenerated from substrates such as RS-SR, ArSe-SeAr, ArTe-TeAr, PhSe-SO2Ar, Cl-SO2Ph; ZCH=CHA (A = Cl, I, SPh, SO2Ph); or PhCCHA (A = I, SPh, SO2Ph). β-Styrenyl (PhCH=CHA, Ph2C=CHA) and β-phenethynyl (PhCCA) systems with A = I, Br, SO2Ph also enter into chain reactions with mercury(II) salts with the ligands PhS, PhSe, PhSO2, or (EtO)2PO.The relative reactivities of a series of reagents toward t-Bu. and of PhCH=CHA, Ph2C=CHA, and PhCCA toward c-C6H11. are reported as well as the regioselectivity of t-Bu. attack observed for 1,2-disubstituted ethylenes (ZCH=CHA) with Z and A from the group Ph, Cl, Br, I, SO2Ph, SPh, Bu3Sn.Reactions of (E)- and (Z)-PhCH=CHI or MeO2CCH=CHI with t-Bu. or c-C6H11. occurred in a regioselective and stereospecific (retention) manner.Reactions of (E)- and (Z)-ClCH=CHCl occurred in a nonstereospecific manner in which the E/Z product ratio increased with the bulk of the attacking radical.A similar effect on the E/Z product ratios was observed for (Z)-MeO2CCH=CHCl.
