In this paper, we report an efficient synthetic method for thioester formation from sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate, organic halides, and aryl anhydrides. In the one-pot two-step reactions developed in this study, sodium thiosulfate was used as the sulfur surrogate for acylation with anhydrides, followed by substitution with organic halides through the in situ generation of thioaroylate. Furthermore, two important organic compounds could be successfully synthesized using our developed method. The advantages of the one-pot two-step reactions are operational simplicity, structurally diverse products with 42%-90% yields, use of relatively low toxic and odourless reagents, and easy applicability to large-scale operation.

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.

Second nature: Starting from shelf-stable aryl esters and thiols, a variety of carboxylic acid esters were transformed into the corresponding thioesters with no racemization of labile stereocenters (see scheme). The method was successfully applied in a native chemical-ligation-type peptide formation, which suggests that the thiol may act as a co-catalyst for future 1,2-additions of pronucleophiles to carboxylic esters.
