Electrochemical Sulfonylation/Heteroarylation of Alkenes via Distal Heteroaryl ipso-Migration

A direct electrooxidative sulfonylation/heteroarylation reaction of alkenes with sulfinic acids, which proceeds through distal heteroaryl ipso-migration and C-S and C-C bond formations, is reported. This electro-synthetic method offers an efficient and en

Synthesis of Symmetrical Thiosulfonates via Cu(OTf)2-Catalyzed Reductive Homocoupling of Arenesulfonyl Chlorides

A variety of symmetrical thiosulfonates are synthesized via Cu-catalyzed reductive homocoupling of aryl sulfonyl chlorides. This protocol uses organic amine acting as a mild reductant and low-cost copper as an effective catalyst. Such a reductive coupling process features a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. Related thiosulfonate products can also be converted into diverse functional molecules.

Phenylboronic acid-catalyzed tandem construction of S-S and C-S bonds: a new method for the synthesis of benzyl disulfanylsulfone derivatives fromS-benzyl thiosulfonates

A unique phenylboronic acid-catalyzed dimerization-sulfonylation ofS-benzyl thiosulfonates has been disclosed. A metal-free tandem construction of S-S and C-S bonds is an operationally simple method to access a wide range of benzyl disulfanylsulfone derivatives in high to excellent yields. Moreover, the robustness of this tandem transformation has been demonstrated by gram-scale reactions, and a plausible mechanism is also proposed.

N,N′-Disulfonylhydrazines: New sulfonylating reagents for highly efficient synthesis of (E)-vinyl sulfones at room temperature

N,N′-Disulfonylhydrazines have been proven to be the most reactive precursors of sulfonyl radicals in all types of sulfonyl substituted hydrazines as early as a half century ago. But such function has not been applied in organic synthesis except the formation of disulfones by self-dimerization of sulfonyl radicals. In this article, they were introduced as new sulfonylating reagents and their combinations with NIS and Et3N were established as excellent iodosulfonylating reagents for alkenes. Finally, a highly efficient method for the synthesis of (E)-vinyl sulfones was developed by mixing an alkene, a N,N′-disulfonylhydrazine, NIS and Et3N in THF at room temperature for 5 min.

A paradigm shift in rate determining step from single electron transfer between phenylsulfinylacetic acids and iron(III) polypyridyl complexes to nucleophilic attack of water to the produced sulfoxide radical cation: a non-linear Hammett

Mechanism of oxidative decarboxylation of phenylsulfinylacetic acids (PSAAs) by iron(III) polypyridyl complexes in aqueous acetonitrile medium has been investigated spectrophotometrically. An initial intermediate formation between PSAA and [Fe(NN)3]3+ is confirmed from the observed Michaelis–Menten kinetics and fractional order dependence on PSAA. Significant rate retardation with concentration of [Fe(NN)3]3+ is rationalized on the basis of coordination of a water molecule at the carbon atom adjacent to the ring nitrogen of the metal polypyridyl complexes by nucleophilic attack at higher concentrations. Electron-withdrawing and electron-releasing substituents in PSAA facilitate the reaction and Hammett correlation gives an upward ‘V’ shaped curve. The apparent upward curvature is rationalized based on the change in the rate determining step from electron transfer to nucleophilic attack, by changing the substituents from electron-releasing to electron-withdrawing groups. Electron-releasing substituents in PSAA accelerate the electron transfer from PSAA to the complex and also stabilize the intermediate through resonance interaction leading to negative reaction constants (ρ). Conversely, electron-withdrawing groups, while retarding the electron transfer exert an accelerating effect on the nucleophilic attack of H2O which leading to low magnitude of ρ+ compared to high ρ? values of electron-releasing groups. Marcus theory is applied, and a fair agreement is seen with the experimental values. Copyright

Facile preparation of bis(thiocarbonyl)disulfides via elimination

A robust facile synthetic preparation of bis(thiocarbonyl)disulfides is presented. The route follows an elimination mechanism rather than the more common oxidation. Addition of p-tosyl chloride to a thiocarbonyl thiolate results in the elimination of the chloride by the trithiocarbonate anion and subsequent elimination of the tosyl leaving group (by a second thiocarbonyl thiolate). The side products of the reaction are bis(4-methylphenyl)disulfone and tosylate salts/acids.
