- Metal-free sulfonylation of arenes with: N -fluorobenzenesulfonimide via cleavage of S-N bonds: expeditious synthesis of diarylsulfones
-
A novel metal-free sulfonylation of arenes with N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) toward the synthesis of diarylsulfones has been developed. The reaction represents a rare example of sulfonylation reaction using NFSI as an efficient sulfonyl donor and the first example of acid-mediated sulfonylation of unactivated arenes with NFSI via selective cleavage of S-N bonds. This protocol provides a concise approach for the construction of pharmaceutically and biologically important diarylsulfones. Applications in the functionalization of natural products (e.g., β-estradiol) and in the synthesis of a key intermediate to an inhibitor of farnesyl-protein transferase, as well as in the gram-scale synthesis of the EPAC2 antagonist, are demonstrated.

- On the important transition of sugar-based surfactant as a microreactor for C-S coupling in water: From micelle to vesicle
-
A reversible, temperature-induced micelle-to-vesicle transition of a sugar-based pseudogemini surfactant (C11D12) was employed for copper-catalyzed C-S coupling in water. The phase behavior and morphology of the C11D12 aqueous solution were investigated by DLS and cryo-TEM. The aggregates undergo a series of transitions upon increasing the temperature: spherical micelles were initially transformed into large vesicles, but they eventually transformed into smaller vesicles. The vesicular catalytic protocol accommodates an excellent substrate scope with moderate to high yields. The mechanisms of temperature-induced aggregate transition and vesicular catalysis were elucidated by experimental results and DFT calculations. It was revealed that the charge layer of the vesicle grants stronger nucleophilicity to the PhSO2-Cu-D12Ga intermediate. Furthermore, the aqueous reaction medium can be recycled and reused several times after easily separating the precipitated product.

- Sulfonylation of Bismuth Reagents with Sulfinates or SO2through BiIII/BiV Intermediates
-
Studies to explore the catalytic activities of main-group elements are attractive. We report here our study of sulfonylation of bismuth reagents with sulfinates or SO2 surrogates. Under oxidative conditions, triarylbismuthines and sulfinates were transformed into diaryl sulfones. A transition-metal-like two-electron redox process at the Bi center was achieved in this reaction. Sulfur dioxide generated in situ can also replace sulfinates to deliver the corresponding symmetric diaryl sulfones. A rational mechanism for this reaction was also proposed that involves a Bi(III)-Bi(V) manifold.

-
For the first time, robust NHC-Pd complexes have been demonstrated as highly efficient catalysts in the direct arylsulfonylation of boronic acids. Remarkably, a broad number of diaryliodonium salts as powerful electrophilic arylation reagents are well compatible to form functional ortho-substituted diarylsulfones in satisfactory yields. Owing to the stronger σ-donor and weaker π-acceptor properties, the acenaphthoimidazolylidene ligands exhibit higher catalytic activities towards this challenging one-step arylsulfonylation reaction.

- Interfacing sugar-based surfactant micelles and Cu nanoparticles: A nanoreactor for C-S coupling reactions in water
-
A simple and sustainable synergistic catalytic protocol by interfacing nanomicelles and metal nanoparticles (MNPs) is reported for C-S coupling reactions in water. The sugar-based surfactant GluM was synthesized by introducing a PEG chain to stabilize MNPs and self-assembled to form nanomicelles. Cu2O nanoparticles were generated via in situ reduction of copper salt in an aqueous solution of the sugar-based surfactant. The nature of the interaction between nanomicelles and Cu2O nanoparticles was revealed by XPS, XRD, in situ IR, TEM, and 1H NMR. A broad substrate scope with moderate to excellent yields was documented and the recycling of the GluM/Cu aqueous mixture was surprising.

Additionally, it was addressed by 1H-NMR analysis that the enrichment position of the substrates is in the lipophilic alkyl chain. Finally, moderate to excellent yields of the aimed products were obtained in this work. This remarkably simple strategy expanded the scope of C-X coupling reaction in water; most notably, both water and ALA14 can be recycled and reused.

A simple steady-state kinetic high-throughput assay was developed for the salicylate synthase MbtI from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which catalyzes the first committed step of mycobactin biosynthesis. The mycobactins are small-molecule iron chelators produced by M. tuberculosis, and their biosynthesis has been identified as a promising target for the development of new antitubercular agents. The assay was miniaturized to a 384-well plate format and high-throughput screening was performed at the National Screening Laboratory for the Regional Centers of Excellence in Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases (NSRB). Three classes of compounds were identified comprising the benzisothiazolones (class I), diarylsulfones (class II), and benzimidazole-2-thiones (class III). Each of these compound series was further pursued to investigate their biochemical mechanism and structure-activity relationships. Benzimidazole-2-thione 4 emerged as the most promising inhibitor owing to its potent reversible inhibition.

- Method for acylation or sulphonylation of an aromatic compound
-
The present invention relates to a process for the acylation or sulphonylation of an aromatic compound. More particularly, the invention relates to a process for the acylation or sulphonylation of an activated or deactivated aromatic compound. The invention is applied to the preparation of aromatic ketones or sulphones. The process for the acylation or sulphonylation of an aromatic compound which consists in reacting at least one aromatic compound with an acylating or sulphonylating agent, in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst is characterized in that the acylation or sulphonylation reaction is carried out in liquid phase under microwave irradiation.

- Counterion effects in indium-catalysed aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions
-
Indium(III) triflamide (In(NTf2)3) has been prepared in high yield and has been demonstrated to be an efficient, recoverable catalyst for a range of aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions. When compared to other indium(III) complexes, anomalous reactivities suggest a non-innocent role for the counterion in the studied processes.

- An efficient method for aromatic Friedel-Crafts alkylation, acylation, benzoylation, and sulfonylation reactions
-
Aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions such as alkylation, acylation, benzoylation, and sulfonylation were studied in the presence of a catalytic amount of Cu(OTf)2 and Sn(OTf)2. Cu(OTf)2 was very efficient for alkylation, acylation, and benzoylation reactions. However, in case of sulfonylation reactions, Sn(OTf)2 gave better results.

- Acylation and related reactions under microwaves. 4. Sulfonylation reactions of aromatics
-
Solvent-free sulfonylation of benzene and its activated or deactivated derivatives were carried out under microwave (MW) irradiation and a catalytic amount of iron(III) chloride, which, under these conditions, is more, active than other metallic salts. With more reactive and/or nonvolatile reagents (anisole, xylenes, mesitylene) expeditious conditions (short reaction time at constant MW power without control of the temperature) were used. With less reactive and/or low-boiling reagents (benzene, toluene, halobenzenes), the rise in temperature and the increase of reaction time were controlled either by sequential MW irradiation or by a temperature order. It was shown that MWs cause preferential interactions with polar species present in the reaction, especially the aryl sulfone and its FeCl3-complexed form. A MW nonthermal effect was not observed when identical temperature gradients were produced by classical heating and MW irradiation, and if reaction temperature was strictly controlled.
