The thioetherification of heteroaryl chlorides is an essential synthetic methodology that provides access to bioactive drugs and agrochemicals. Due to their (actual or potential) industrial importance, the development of efficient and low-temperature protocols for accessing these compounds is a requirement for economic and ecologic reasons. A particular highly effective catalytic protocol using the Pd/PTABS system at only 50 °C was developed accordingly. The coupling between chloroheteroarenes and a variety of less reactive arylthiols and alkylthiols was carried out with a high efficiency. Heteroarenes of commercial relevance such as purines and pyrimidines were also found to be useful substrates for the reported transformation. The commercial drug Imuran (azathioprine) was synthesized as an example, and its preparation could be optimized. DFT studies were performed to understand the electronic effects of the tested ligands on the catalytic reaction.

A practical synthesis of 2-benzenesulfonylpyridine, 1, is described which is a key starting material for the manufacture of an investigational new drug candidate at Eli Lilly and Company. An optimized green chemical process was developed which features a novel tandem SNAr/oxidation under mild conditions to produce the target sulfone, 1, in 86% yield and>99% purity. In addition, this novel, environmentally friendly methodology was found to be general for the synthesis of substituted aromatic pyridyl sulfides and sulfones.
