Transition-metal-free decarboxylative thiolation of stable aliphatic carboxylates

A transition-metal-free decarboxylative thiolation protocol is reported in which primary, secondary, tertiary (hetero)aryl acetates and α-CN substituted acetates undergo the decarboxylative thiolation smoothly, to deliver a variety of functionalized aryl alkyl sulfides in moderate to excellent yields. Aryl diselenides are also amenable substrates for construction of C-Se bonds under the simple and mild reaction conditions. Moreover, the protocol is successfully applied to the late-stage modification of pharmaceutical carboxylates with satisfactory chemoselectivity and functional-group compatibility. This journal is

Stable group 8 metal porphyrin mono- And bis(dialkylcarbene) complexes: Synthesis, characterization, and catalytic activity

Alkyl-substituted carbene (CHR or CR2, R = alkyl) complexes have been extensively studied for alkylcarbene (CHR) ligands coordinated with high-valent early transition metal ions (a.k.a. Schrock carbenes or alkylidenes), yet dialkylcarbene (CR2) complexes remain less developed with bis(dialkylcarbene) species being little (if at all) explored. Herein, several group 8 metal porphyrin dialkylcarbene complexes, including Fe- and Ru-mono(dialkylcarbene) complexes [M(Por)(Ad)] (1a,b, M = Fe, Por = porphyrinato dianion, Ad = 2-adamantylidene; 2a,b, M = Ru) and Os-bis(dialkylcarbene) complexes [Os(Por)(Ad)2] (3a-c), are synthesized and crystallographically characterized. Detailed investigations into their electronic structures reveal that these complexes are formally low-valent M(ii)-carbene in nature. These complexes display remarkable thermal stability and chemical inertness, which are rationalized by a synergistic effect of strong metal-carbene covalency, hyperconjugation, and a rigid diamondoid carbene skeleton. Various spectroscopic techniques and DFT calculations suggest that the dialkylcarbene Ad ligand is unique compared to other common carbene ligands as it acts as both a potent σ-donor and π-acceptor; its unique electronic and structural features, together with the steric effect of the porphyrin macrocycle, make its Fe porphyrin complex 1a an active and robust catalyst for intermolecular diarylcarbene transfer reactions including cyclopropanation (up to 90% yield) and X-H (X = S, N, O, C) insertion (up to 99% yield) reactions.

Promoting Effect of Crystal Water Leading to Catalyst-Free Synthesis of Heteroaryl Thioether from Heteroaryl Chloride, Sodium Thiosulfate Pentahydrate, and Alcohol

It is observed the crystal water in sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate (Na2S2O3·5H2O) can promote its multicomponent reaction with heteroaryl chlorides and alcohols, providing a facile, green, and specific synthesis of unsymmetrical heteroaryl thioethers via one-step formation of two C-S bonds under catalyst-, additive-, and solvent-free conditions. Mechanistic studies suggest that the crystal water in Na2S2O3·5H2O is crucial in generating the key thiol intermediates and byproduct NaHSO4, which then catalyzes the dehydrative substitution of alcohols with thiols to afford thioethers.

Visible-Light-Triggered C-C and C-N Bond Formation by C-S Bond Cleavage of Benzylic Thioethers

The cleavage of sulfidic C-S bonds under visible-light irradiation was harnessed to generate carbocations under neutral conditions and synthesize valuable di- and triarylalkanes as well as benzyl amines. To this end, photoredox catalysis and direct photoinduced C-S bond cleavage are used as complementary approaches and participate in the versatility of the general strategy. Extensive mechanistic studies have demonstrated the diversity of the reaction mechanism at work in these different reactions.

Efficient Generation of C–S Bonds via a By-Product-Promoted Selective Coupling of Alcohols, Organic Halides, and Thiourea

A metal- and base-free three-component coupling of alcohols, heteroaryl halides, and thiourea has been developed for direct and selective synthesis of heteroaryl thioethers. This method can be easily scaled up to the gram scale and extended to dialkyl thioethers, heteroaryl selenides, benzothiazoles, and some antimycobacterially-active thioethers. Mechanistic studies revealed that a by-product-promoted in situ C–O activation of alcohols to more reactive alkyl halides and slow release of the thiol and alkyl halide intermediates are the key to the high selectivity and success of the reaction.

Alkylation of thiols with trichloroacetimidates under neutral conditions

Trichloroacetimidates are displaced with thiols to form the corresponding sulfides without the need for an added acid or base by simply heating the reactants in refluxing THF. This operationally simple procedure provides the corresponding sulfides in excellent yields with only the formation of the neutral trichloroacetamide as the side product. The imidate may also be formed in situ, allowing for a direct method for the formation of sulfides from alcohols. This reaction provides a general method for the synthesis of a variety of sulfides from inexpensive and readily available alcohol starting materials.

Aryl aryl methyl thio arenes prevent multidrug-resistant malaria in mouse by promoting oxidative stress in parasites

We have synthesized a new series of aryl aryl methyl thio arenes (AAMTAs) and evaluated antimalarial activity in vitro and in vivo against drug-resistant malaria. These compounds interact with free heme, inhibit hemozoin formation, and prevent Plasmodium falciparum growth in vitro in a concentration-dependent manner. These compounds concentration dependently promote oxidative stress in Plasmodium falciparum as evident from the generation of intraparasitic oxidants, protein carbonyls, and lipid peroxidation products. Furthermore, AAMTAs deplete intraparasite GSH levels, which is essential for antioxidant defense and survival during intraerythrocytic stages. These compounds displayed potent antimalarial activity not only in vitro but also in vivo against multidrug-resistant Plasmodium yoelii dose dependently in a mouse model. The mixtures of enantiomers of AAMTAs containing 3-pyridyl rings were found to be more efficient in providing antimalarial activity. Efforts have been made to synthesize achiral AAMTAs 17-23 and among them, compound 18 showed significant antimalarial activity in vivo

OCCURRENCE OF LIGAND COUPLING IN THE REACTIONS OF VARIOUS SULFOXIDES WITH GRIGNARD REAGENTS

Ligand coupling reactions take place not only between benzyl and 2-pyridyl groups and two 2-pyridyl groups in the treatment of benzyl, alkyl and aryl 2-pyridyl sulfoxides with Grignard reagents, but also between such groups as p-benzenesulfonylphenyl, 4-pyridyl, 2-quinolyl and 2-pyrimidyl, and the benzyl group.There are cases in which ligand exchange precedes ligand coupling, especially with 2-heteroaryl groups.In addition, even some alkyl groups were found to couple with the 2-pyridyl group.The ease of coupling seems to be associated with the electronegativity of the coupling carbon atom of the ligand, when one compares the 13C NMR chemical shifts.

THE INVENTION OF RADICAL REACTIONS. PART XV. SOME MECHANISTIC ASPECTS OF THE DECARBOXYLATIVE REARRANGEMENT OF THIOHYDROXAMIC ESTERS

Esters (mixed anhydrides) derived from aliphatic or alicyclic carboxylic acids (RCO2H) and thiohydroxamic acids 2 or 3 undergo a thermally or photochemically induced radical chain reaction to give sulphides 4 with loss of carbon dioxide.On irradiation at low temperature however, the chain reaction is essentially suppressed.Under these conditions moderate to good yields of dimers R-R are obtained from primary acids.The mechanistic and synthetic implications of these observations are discussed.
