Thiocarbonylthio compounds [S=C(Ph)S-R) in free radical polymerization with reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT polymerization). Role of the free-radical leaving group (R)

Radical polymerization with reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT polymerization) can be used to synthesize a wide range of polymers of controlled architecture and narrow molecular weight distribution. The polymerization use addition-frag

Decarboxylative Thiolation of Redox-Active Esters to Thioesters by Merging Photoredox and Copper Catalysis

Thioesters and related thiols are critically important to biological systems and also widely employed in the synthesis of pharmaceutically important molecules and polymeric materials. However, known synthetic methods often suffer from the disadvantage of

Pot-economy autooxidative condensation of 2-Aryl-2-lithio-1,3-dithianes

The autoxidative condensation of 2-aryl-2-lithio-1,3-dithianes is here reported. Treatment of 2-aryl-1,3-dithianes with n-BuLi in the absence of any electrophile leads to condensation of three molecules of 1,3-dithianes and formation of highly functionalized α-thioether ketones orthothioesters in 51-89% yields upon air exposure. The method was further expanded to benzaldehyde dithioacetals, affording corresponding orthothioesters and α-thioether ketones in 48-97% yields. The experimental results combined with density functional theory studies support a mechanism triggered by the autoxidation of 2-aryl-2-lithio-1,3-dithianes to yield a highly reactive thioester that undergoes condensation with two other molecules of 2-aryl-2-lithio-1,3-dithiane.

Poly(3,4-dimethyl-5-vinylthiazolium)/DBU-catalyzed thioesterification of aldehydes with thiols

Poly(3,4-dimethyl-5-vinylthiazolium) was synthesized from 3,4-dimethyl-5-vinylthiazole through free radical polymerization and was examined as polymer precatalysts in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) for the thioesterification of aldehydes with thiols. The poly(5-vinylthiazolium)/DBU had excellent catalytic activity and could be reused 10 times without a considerable loss of activity. To S-um up: Poly(3,4-dimethyl-5-vinylthiazolium) is examined as a polymer precatalyst in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) for the thioesterification of aldehydes with thiols. The poly(5-vinylthiazolium)/DBU system shows excellent catalytic activity and can be reused 10 times without a considerable loss of activity.

NHC-catalyzed thioesterification of aldehydes by external redox activation

The NHC-catalyzed thioesterification of aromatic or aliphatic aldehydes with a range of thiols was developed in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of an organic oxidant. Among the oxidants examined, phenazine was shown to give the best results in terms of chemical yield and compatibility with thiols.

Silica-promoted facile synthesis of thioesters and thioethers: A highly efficient, reusable and environmentally safe solid support

An efficient, mild and rapid procedure for the acylation and alkylation of aromatic and aliphatic thiols mediated on a silica gel surface at room temperature is described. The protocol allows the protection of thiols under neutral heterogeneous conditions without requiring any bases or Lewis acids, and the silica gel used as the promoter can be recycled for several runs without any loss of activity.

Base-induced mechanistic variation in palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl iodides

A mechanism, which is distinct from the traditional one when sodium alkoxide was used instead of tertiary amines, was proposed for the alkoxycarbonylation of aryl iodides. The catalytic cycle was composed of oxidative addition, subsequent ArPdOR formation, CO insertion to Pd-OR, and final reductive elimination of ArPdCOOR. The kinetic simultaneity of the formation of deiodinated side product from the aryl iodide and aldehyde from corresponding alcohol provided strong evidence for the existence of ArPdOR species. The observation of thioether, as the other competitive product in palladium catalyzed thiocarbonylation of aryl iodides and sodium alkylthiolate, also indicate the possibility of metathesis between ArPdl and sodium alkylthiolate. Preliminary kinetic studies revealed that neither oxidative addition nor reductive elimination was rate limiting. DFT calculation displayed preference for CO insertion into Pd-OR bond. The advantage of this novel mechanism had been demonstrated in the facile alkoxycarbonylation and thiocarbonylation. The ethoxycarbonylation of aryl iodides under room temperature and balloon pressure of CO in the presence of EtONa were examined, and good to high yields were obtained; the t-butoxycarbonylation reactions in the presence of t-BuONa were achieved, and the alkylthiocarbonylation (including the t-butylthiocarbonylation) of aryl iodides in the presence of sodium alkylthiolate were also investigated.

Synthesis of thioesters by simultaneous activation of carboxylic acids and alcohols using PPh3/NBS with benzyltriethylammonium tetrathiomolybdate as the sulfur transfer reagent

A new and simple route for the synthesis of thioesters starting from carboxylic acids and alcohols is reported by using tetrathiomolybdate as the key sulfur transfer reagent, Triphenylphosphane and N-bromosuccinimide were used for the activation of the ca

Nucleophilic acyl substitutions of anhydrides with protic nucleophiles catalyzed by amphoteric, oxomolybdenum species

(Chemical Equation Presented) Among six different group VIb oxometallic species examined, dioxomolybdenum dichloride and oxomolybdenum tetrachloride were the most efficient catalysts to facilitate nucleophilic acyl substitution (NAS) of anhydrides with a myriad array of alcohols, amines, and thiols in high yields and high chemoselectivity. In contrast to the well-recognized redox chemical behaviors associated with oxomolybdenum(VI) species, the catalytic NAS was unprecedented and tolerates virtually all kinds of functional groups. By using benzoic anhydride as a mediator for in situ generation of an incipient mixed anhydride-MoO2Cl2 adduct with a given functional alkanoic acid, one can achieve oleate, dipeptide, diphenylmethyl, N-Fmoc-α-amino, pyruvic, and tert-butylthio ester, N-tert-butylamide, and trityl methacrylate syntheses with appropriate protic nucleophiles. The amphoteric character of the Mo=O unit in oxomolybdenum chlorides was found to be responsible for the catalytic NAS profile as supported by a control NAS reaction of using an authentic adduct-MoOCl2(O2-CBu t)2 between pivalic anhydride and MoO2Cl 2 as the catalyst.
