Copper-catalyzed decarboxylative methylthiolation of aromatic carboxylate salts with DMSO

A novel copper-catalyzed decarboxylative methylthiolation of arenecarboxylate salts has been realized using DMSO as the methylthiolation source. Various potassium aryl carboxylates underwent decarboxylative methylthiolation under air to furnish the corresponding aryl methyl thioethers in moderate to excellent yields. The reaction tolerated a wide variety of functional groups. Notably, the synthesis of ethylthioethers was also successfully achieved directly from diethyl sulfoxide under similar reaction conditions.

Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative methylthiolation of aromatic carboxylic acids by using DMSO as the sulfurizing reagent

By using simple and readily available DMSO as a convenient and environmentally friendly source of sulfur, a practical approach for the Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative methylthiolation of 2-nitrobenzoic acids was developed. A range of substituents on the aryl group of the ortho-nitrobenzoic acid were compatible with this process.

One-pot synthesis and asymmetric oxidation of 2-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl) benzene containing sulfides

An efficient one-pot method for the preparation of 2-nitro-4- (trifluoromethyl)benzene containing sulfides from 1,1'-disulfanediylbis[2-nitro- 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene] is proposed. The corresponding enantiomerically enriched sulfoxides with up to 78% enantiomeric excess are prepared by the asymmetric oxidation of sulfides using a modified Sharpless method. The yield of sulfoxides is shown to decrease with an increase in the bulk of the aliphatic group and with a decrease of the inductive effect of the hydrocarbonic moiety on the sulfur atom.
