Methanesulfonic anhydride-promoted sustainable synthesis of thioesters from feedstock acids and thiols

Abstract: An unprecedented metal-, halogen- and solvent-free, MSAA-promoted S-carbonylation of thiols with feedstock acids has been developed. This new transformation provides an efficient and atom-economic strategy for the synthesis of thioesters in a single operation from readily available and inexpensive starting materials. The reaction avoids the use of expensive and hazardous coupling reagents, bases and generates water as the only by-product, thus making this chemical synthetic process more viable, environment-friendly and contributing towards sustainable chemistry.

Magnetically recyclable silica-coated ferrite magnetite-K10montmorillonite nanocatalyst and its applications in O, N, and S-acylation reaction under solvent-free conditions

Novel silica-coated ferrite nanoparticles supported with montmorillonite (K10) have been prepared successfully by using a simple impregnation method. Further, these nanoparticles were characterized by using different analytical methods like FT-IR, PXRD, EDS, and FE-SEM techniques. In addition, these nanoparticles have been explored for their catalytic activity for the O, N, and S-acylation reactions under solvent-free conditions which gave moderate to excellent yields in a much shorter reaction time. Moreover, these nanoparticles could easily be separated out from the reaction medium after the reaction completion by using an external magnetic field and have been re-used for 10 cycles without any significant loss of the catalytic activity.

Thioesters as Bifunctional Reagents for 2-Naphthylamine Sulfuracylation

An efficient and convenient strategy for the preparation of diaryl sulfides via a Fe-promoted direct sulfuracylation of 2-naphthylamine using thioesters as bifunctional reagents is described. This synthetic strategy features high chemoselectivity, good substrate scope and functional group tolerance. (Figure presented.).

Fungicidal Activity of S-Esters of Thiocarboxylic Acids as Antimicrobial Additives to Petroleum Products

Abstract: A variety of aliphatic and aromatic S-esters of thiocarboxylic acids have been tested for antimicrobial activity. The relationship between the chemical structure of the compounds R1SC(O)R2 and their toxicity for microorganisms has been revealed, and the effect of various functional groups on the antimicrobial properties has been shown. The cooling lubricant IKhP-45E with S-aryl thioacetate additives has been tested. It has been shown that the additives used (0.25–0.5 wt %) inhibit the growth of all the studied microorganisms; however, their activity with respect to fungi is higher. The introduction of S-aryl thioacetates provides the resistance of these oils to microbiological deterioration to retain the physicochemical properties for a long period of time.

S-Acetylation of Thiols Mediated by Triflic Acid: A Novel Route to Thioesters

This paper demonstrates an efficient, mild, and chemoselective synthesis of various thioesters via a HOTf-catalyzed S-acetylation of aromatic and aliphatic thiols using isopropenyl acetate as a cheap and convenient acetylating agent. During our tests, we also investigated the differences between the activities of metal triflates and triflic acid as catalysts in the acetylation of thiols. Finally, the potential of our concept has been increased by the implementation of Nafion as a heterogeneous catalyst for S-acetylation of thiols.

Samarium trifluoromethanesulfonate: An efficient moisture tolerant acylation catalyst under solvent-free condition

Samarium trifluoromethanesulfonate catalyzed the acylation of phenols, alcohols, thiols, free reducing sugars, and glycosides in excellent yields at ambient temperature under solvent-free condition using stoichiometric amounts of various anhydrides.

THE REACTION BETWEEN ARENEDIAZONIUM TETRAFLUOROBORATES AND ALKALINE THICARBOXYLATES IN DMSO: A CONVENIENT ACCESS TO ARYL THIOLESTERS AND OTHER AROMATIC SULFUR DERIVATIVES.

The reaction between potassium thioacetate or sodium thiobenzoate and arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates in DMSO leads to the corresponding aryl thiolesters 1 which can either be isolated or further reacted providing a convenient one-pot access to a number of other aromatic sulfur derivatives.
