Copper oxide nanoparticles catalyzed synthesis of aryl sulfides via cascade reaction of aryl halides with thiourea

Recyclable copper oxide nanoparticles catalyzed simple and highly efficient protocol for the synthesis of symmetrical aryl sulfides was developed by the cross-coupling of aromatic halides with inexpensive and commercially available thiourea which was used as an effective sulfur surrogate. The present cross-coupling protocol of thiourea, via cascade reaction with various substituted aryl halides, producing desired aryl sulfides, has an added advantage of avoiding foul-smelling thiols.

A Robust Pd-Catalyzed C-S Cross-Coupling Process Enabled by Ball-Milling

An operationally simple mechanochemical C-S coupling of aryl halides with thiols has been developed. The reaction process operates under benchtop conditions without the requirement for a (dry) solvent, an inert atmosphere, or catalyst preactivation. The reaction is finished within 3 h. The reaction is demonstrated across a broad range of substrates; the inclusion of zinc metal has been found to be critical in some instances, especially for coupling of alkyl thiols.

One-step arylthiolation of aromatic compounds by disulfide radical cations generated from oxidation of diaryl disulfides with aluminium chloride

Reactions of di(phenyl and 4-tolyl) disulfides 1a and 1b with PhX 3a-e (X = H, Me, Et, Ph and Cl) in the presence of AlCl3 at 25°C give diaryl sulfides 4-6 by aromatic arylthiolation via the disulfide radical cations 2, along with thiophenols 7 formed in the incomplete reactions. Competitive intramolecular reactions of 2a also yield diphenyl sulfide 4a or/and thianthrene 8. However, the reactions of bis(4-chlorophenyl and 4-fluorophenyl) disulfides 1c and 1d selectively lead to the aromatic arylthiolation in high yields. The Hammett ρ = -8.8 at 25°C for the phenylthiolation in the reactions of 1a is more negative than that (ρ = -7.0 at -30°C) using SbCl5 instead of AlCl3, and the value ρ = -8.0 for the arylthiolation using 1d is less negative than that using 1a. These and the other mechanistic aspects support the arylthiolations via 2.

Novel efficient aromatic arylthiolation by disulfide radical cations generated by oxidation of diaryl disulfides

The disulfide radical cation was generated by oxidation of diphenyl disulfide using H2SO4 in CF3CO2H or SbCl5 in CH2Cl2, and allowed to react with benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, chlorobenzene, anisole and alkyl phenyl sulfides to give efficiently para-substituted diphenyl sulfides along with a small amount of the ortho-isomers. The intermediacy of the radical cation in this aromatic phenylthiolation is consistent with the evidence derived from a Hammett plot with ρ = -7.0 (using SbCl5 in CH2Cl2), from effects of oxidants, counter-anions and solvents and from electronic absorptions (540 and 650 nm). Using di-4-anisyl, di-4-tolyl and di-4-chlorophenyl disulfides instead of diphenyl disulfide, the aromatic arylthiolation similarly occurs via radical cations from their disulfides.
