A template free protocol for fabrication of a Ni(ii)-loaded magnetically separable nanoreactor scaffold for confined synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl sulfides in water

In the present report, an environmentally benign magnetically recoverable nickel(ii)-based nanoreactor as a heterogeneous catalyst has been developedviaa template free approach. The catalytic performance of the synthesized catalyst is assessed in the confined oxidative coupling of arenethiols with arylhydrazines to form unsymmetrical diaryl sulfides under aerobic conditions. The salient features of our protocol include oxidant- and ligand-free conditions, use of water as a green solvent, room temperature and formation of nitrogen and water as the only by-products. Moreover, a broad range of functional groups are tolerated well and provide the corresponding diaryl sulfides in moderate to good yields. Moreover, the heterogeneous nature of the catalyst permits facile magnetic recovery and reusability for up to seven runs, making the present protocol highly desirable from industrial and environmental standpoints.

Aryl alkyl, aryl aryl thioether compound and its synthesis method

The invention discloses a synthesis method of an aryl-alkyl and aryl-aryl thioether compound represented by a formula (III). According to the synthesis method, aryl tetrafluoroboric acid diazonium salt is taken as a reaction raw material in a reaction solvent, aryl and alkyl thiosulfate is taken as a sulfurizing agent, and the materials react under the catalysis action of visible light and a photosensitive agent to obtain the aryl-alkyl and aryl-aryl thioether compound. According to the synthesis method, the raw materials are easy to obtain and are cheap, the reaction operation is simple, the reaction condition is mild and environment-friendly, the yield is higher, the functional group tolerance is excellent, later modification of drugs is successfully realized, and an efficient C-S bond construction method is provided for medicinal chemistry and biological orthogonal chemistry research.

Room-Temperature Arylation of Thiols: Breakthrough with Aryl Chlorides

The formation of aryl C?S bonds is an important chemical transformation because aryl sulfides are valuable building blocks for the synthesis of biologically and pharmaceutically active molecules and organic materials. Aryl sulfides have traditionally been synthesized through the transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl halides with thiols. However, the aryl halides used are usually bromides and iodides; readily available, low-cost aryl chlorides often not reactive enough. Furthermore, the deactivation of transition-metal catalysts by thiols has forced chemists to use high catalyst loadings, specially designed ligands, high temperatures, and/or strong bases, thus leading to high costs and the incompatibility of some functional groups. Herein, we describe a simple and efficient visible-light photoredox arylation of thiols with aryl halides at room temperature. More importantly, various aryl chlorides are also effective arylation reagents under the present conditions.

Mechanistic Study of a Photocatalyzed C-S Bond Formation Involving Alkyl/Aryl Thiosulfate

This study presents thioether construction involving alkyl/aryl thiosulfates and diazonium salt catalyzed by visible-light-excited [Ru(bpy)3Cl2] at room temperature in 44-86 % yield. Electron paramagnetic resonance studies found that thiosulfate radical formation was promoted by K2CO3. Conversely, radicals generated from BnSH or BnSSBn (Bn=benzyl) were clearly suppressed, demonstrating the special property of thiosulfate in this system. Transient absorption spectra confirmed the electron-transfer process between [Ru(bpy)3Cl2] and 4-MeO-phenyl diazonium salt, which occurred with a rate constant of 1.69×109 M-1 s-1. The corresponding radical trapping product was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The full reaction mechanism was determined together with emission quenching data. Furthermore, this system efficiently avoided the over-oxidation of sulfide caused by H2O in the photoexcited system containing Ru2+. Both aryl and heteroaryl diazonium salts with various electronic properties were investigated for synthetic compatibility. Both alkyl- and aryl-substituted thiosulfates could be used as substrates. Notably, pharmaceutical derivatives afforded late-stage sulfuration smoothly under mild conditions.

Synthesis of diaryl ethers, diaryl thioethers, and diarylamines mediated by potassium fluoride-alumina and 18-crown-6: Expansion of scope and utility

An efficient alternative to the Ullmann ether synthesis of diaryl ethers, diaryl thioethers, and diarylamines involving the S(N)Ar addition of a phenol, thiophenol, or aniline to an appropriate aryl halide, mediated by potassium-fluoride alumina and 18-crown-6 in acetonitrile or DMSO, is described. Expansion of the reaction conditions to include DMSO as solvent has resulted in a far greater range of substitution patterns permitted on the electrophile. For example, it was found that electronically unfavorable 3- chlorobenzonitrile could be condensed with 3-methoxyphenol to form the corresponding diaryl ether in 66% yield, a combination not normally amenable to Ullmann coupling. Electron-withdrawing groups present on the electrophile may be as diverse as nitro, cyano, formyl, acetyl, ester, amide, and even aryl. The method features a simple reaction procedure that provides products in generally good to excellent purified yields.
