A transition-metal-free decarboxylative thiolation protocol is reported in which primary, secondary, tertiary (hetero)aryl acetates and α-CN substituted acetates undergo the decarboxylative thiolation smoothly, to deliver a variety of functionalized aryl alkyl sulfides in moderate to excellent yields. Aryl diselenides are also amenable substrates for construction of C-Se bonds under the simple and mild reaction conditions. Moreover, the protocol is successfully applied to the late-stage modification of pharmaceutical carboxylates with satisfactory chemoselectivity and functional-group compatibility. This journal is
Molybdenum (VI)-catalyzed dehydrative construction of C[sbnd]O and C[sbnd]S bonds formation via etherification and thioetherification of alcohols and thiols

An inexpensive, easily available, environmentally benign, and efficient catalyst molybdenum(VI) dioxo (acetylacetonate)2 was used for the direct oxo- and thioetherification of alcohol. This method endures selective molybdenum catalyzed dehydrative synthesis of symmetrical ethers from benzylic secondary alcohols as well as unsymmetrical ethers from the reaction of benzylic secondary alcohols with primary alcohol. Furthermore, we have been also successful in the synthesis of Aryl thioether by using alcohol and thiols.

Alkyl-substituted carbene (CHR or CR2, R = alkyl) complexes have been extensively studied for alkylcarbene (CHR) ligands coordinated with high-valent early transition metal ions (a.k.a. Schrock carbenes or alkylidenes), yet dialkylcarbene (CR2) complexes remain less developed with bis(dialkylcarbene) species being little (if at all) explored. Herein, several group 8 metal porphyrin dialkylcarbene complexes, including Fe- and Ru-mono(dialkylcarbene) complexes [M(Por)(Ad)] (1a,b, M = Fe, Por = porphyrinato dianion, Ad = 2-adamantylidene; 2a,b, M = Ru) and Os-bis(dialkylcarbene) complexes [Os(Por)(Ad)2] (3a-c), are synthesized and crystallographically characterized. Detailed investigations into their electronic structures reveal that these complexes are formally low-valent M(ii)-carbene in nature. These complexes display remarkable thermal stability and chemical inertness, which are rationalized by a synergistic effect of strong metal-carbene covalency, hyperconjugation, and a rigid diamondoid carbene skeleton. Various spectroscopic techniques and DFT calculations suggest that the dialkylcarbene Ad ligand is unique compared to other common carbene ligands as it acts as both a potent σ-donor and π-acceptor; its unique electronic and structural features, together with the steric effect of the porphyrin macrocycle, make its Fe porphyrin complex 1a an active and robust catalyst for intermolecular diarylcarbene transfer reactions including cyclopropanation (up to 90% yield) and X-H (X = S, N, O, C) insertion (up to 99% yield) reactions.

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.

Heme is an abundant and widely existed cofactor for a variety of metalloenzymes, whose broader use is generally impeded by its high instability and poor solubility. Here we report an environment-benign and efficient strategy for the sulfonium ylide formation and subsequent C[sbnd]S bond cleavage of aromatic isopropyl sulfides, which was catalyzed by hemin in assistance of Triton X-100. This aqueous catalytic system exhibited good functional group tolerance to a variety of sulfides and diazo esters. And the reaction mechanism was preliminarily proposed on the basis of designed reactions. Furthermore, the cleavage of C[sbnd]S bond followed by introducing a functional ester group to aromatic sulfides, may potentially be employed for the late stage functionalization (LSF) of organosulfur drug in the future.

Thioethers as important building blocks have been usually found in organic synthesis. Herein, a series of long chained acid-functionalized ionic liquids derived from pyrrolidine were applied for the thiolation of alcohols to synthesize different compounds containing thioether structures. This kind of ionic liquids exhibited higher efficiency than general ionic liquids based on imidazole, providing up to 99 % yield with [BsCtP][OTf] as the catalyst at room temperature for 0.25 h. The results indicated that the activities of the ionic liquids have relationship with the side chain length of ionic liquids based on pyrrolidine, anions and cations. The catalytic system had wide substrate scope and was applicable for the reaction of aromatic primary and secondary alcohols and thiols including aliphatic and aromatic thiols, benzothiazole-2-thiols and benzooxazole-2-thiols. Besides, there was no obvious change in activity of the catalyst after six runs. Thus, the catalytic system exhibited good recyclability. Additionally, carbocations should be the key intermediate and several functionalized groups of the ionic liquids have synergetic effect for the thiolation.
Nanolayered cobalt-molybdenum sulphides (Co-Mo-S) catalyse borrowing hydrogen C-S bond formation reactions of thiols or H2S with alcohols

, p. 3130 - 3142 (2019/03/13)
Nanolayered cobalt-molybdenum sulphide (Co-Mo-S) materials have been established as excellent catalysts for C-S bond construction. These catalysts allow for the preparation of a broad range of thioethers in good to excellent yields from structurally diverse thiols and readily available primary as well as secondary alcohols. Chemoselectivity in the presence of sensitive groups such as double bonds, nitriles, carboxylic esters and halogens has been demonstrated. It is also shown that the reaction takes place through a hydrogen-autotransfer (borrowing hydrogen) mechanism that involves Co-Mo-S-mediated dehydrogenation and hydrogenation reactions. A novel catalytic protocol based on the thioetherification of alcohols with hydrogen sulphide (H2S) to furnish symmetrical thioethers has also been developed using these earth-abundant metal-based sulphide catalysts.

Several examples of nucleophilic substitution reactions of compounds that have good leaving groups have been previously reported, but the direct use of simple alcohols still remains a challenge because of the poor leaving ability of the hydroxy group. Herein, an efficient and highly chemoselective method for the S-benzylation of a wide range of aromatic and aliphatic thiols has been accomplished in the presence of catalytic amounts (0.1–0.2 mol-%) of indium(III) triflate. Our approach is atom efficient (water is the only byproduct) and suitable to obtain the corresponding unsymmetrical thioethers in excellent yields (up to 99 %). The low loading of catalyst that are needed to obtain extraordinarily high chemoselectivities and the generality of the reaction make this approach unique.
Protecting group-free use of alcohols as carbon electrophiles in atom efficient aluminium triflate-catalysed dehydrative nucleophilic displacement reactions
Cullen, Adam,Muller, Alfred J.,Williams, D. Bradley G.
, p. 42168 - 42171 (2017/09/11)
Benzylic and allylic alcohols are rendered electrophilic without chemical modification by the use of aluminium triflate as catalyst. The reaction succeeds with alcohol, thiol, carbon and nitrogen nucleophiles. When phenols are employed as nucleophiles, C-alkylation ensues. An advanced application of the method is demonstrated in the synthesis of 2H-chromenes and their N and S analogues.
