One-pot tandem reactions for direct conversion of thiols and disulfides to sulfonic esters, and Paal-Knorr synthesis of pyrrole derivatives catalyzed by TCCA
A convenient synthesis of sulfonic esters from thiols and disulfides is described. In situ preparation of sulfonyl chlorides from thiols is accomplished by oxidation with trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA), tetra-butylammonium chloride (t-Bu4NCl), and water. The sulfonyl chlorides are then further allowed to react with phenol derivatives in the same reaction vessel. Also, a facile synthesis of N-substituted pyrroles by the reaction of hexane-2,5-dione with primary amines has been accomplished using TCCA as a catalyst under mild condition with excellent yields.

One-pot tandem reactions for direct conversion of thiols and disulfides to sulfonic esters, alcohols to bis(indolyl)methanes and synthesis of pyrroles catalyzed by N-chloro reagents
A convenient synthesis of sulfonic esters from thiols and disulfides has been described. In situ preparation of sulfonyl chlorides from thiols is accomplished by oxidation with Chloramin-T, tetra-butylammonium chloride (t-Bu4NCl) and water. The sulfonyl chlorides are then further allowed to react with phenol derivatives in the same reaction vessel. Also, a facile synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes from alcohols using TCCA/KBr/wet-SiO2, and N-substituted pyrroles by reaction of hexane-2,5-dione with primary amines has been accomplished under mild condition with excellent yields.
