Decarbonylative synthesis of thioethers from thioesters proceeds in the presence of a catalytic amount of [Rh(cod)Cl]2 (2 mol %). The protocol represents the first Rh-catalyzed decarbonylative thioetherification of thioesters to yield valuable thioethers. Notable features include the absence of phosphine ligands, inorganic bases, and other additives and excellent group tolerance to aryl chlorides and bromides that are problematic using other metals to promote decarbonylation. Gram scale synthesis, late-stage pharmaceutical derivatization, and orthogonal site-selective cross-couplings by C-S/C-Br cleavage are reported.

We report the palladium-catalyzed double-decarbonylative synthesis of aryl thioethers by an aryl exchange reaction between amides and thioesters. In this method, amides serve as aryl donors and thioesters are sulfide donors, enabling the synthesis of valuable aryl sulfides. The use of Pd/Xantphos without any additives has been identified as the catalytic system promoting the aryl exchange by C(O)-N/C(O)-S cleavages. The method is amenable to a wide variety of amides and sulfides.

We report conversion of esters to thioestersviaselective C-O bond cleavage/weak C-S bond formation under transition-metal-free conditions. The method is notable for a general and practical transition-metal-free system, broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance. The strategy was successfully deployed in late-stage thioesterification, site-selective cross-coupling/thioesterification/decarbonylation and easy-to-handle gram scale thioesterification. Selectivity and computational studies were performed to gain insight into the formation of weak C-S bonds by C-O bond cleavage, which contrasts with the traditional trend of nucleophilic additions to carboxylic acid derivatives.

An efficient electrochemical synthesis approach of various unsymmetrical thioethers and arylboronates has been developed. Bench stable arylazo sulfones were used as radical precursors for carbon-heteroatom bond formation under electrochemical conditions. Moreover, the scalability of this approach was evaluated by performing the electrochemical thiolation and borylation of arylazo sulfones with thiols and B2pin2 on a gram scale. This protocol not only avoided the use of stoichiometric oxidants, metal catalysts, activating agents and even added bases, but also exhibited favorable functional group tolerance. (Figure presented.).

Multifunctional transformation of amide C-N bond cleavage is reported. The protocol applies to benzamide, thioamide, alcohols, and mercaptan under similar reaction conditions catalyzed by NaOTs. It is noteworthy that NaOTs can not only be recycled and reused for up to three cycles without significant loss in catalytic activity, but also catalyze gram-grade reactions. This study provides a novel solution with mild conditions and a simple procedure for transformation of multiple amides.

A series of free radical photoinitiators with thioester bonds were synthesized by the nucleophilic substitution reaction of acyl chloride and thiol or thiophenol. These compounds could be efficiently obtained under mild reaction conditions and were fully

Herein reported is a nickel-catalyzed reductive aryl thiocarbonylation of alkene via thioester group transfer strategy by using simple and readily available thioesters. In contrast to traditional activation of weaker C(acyl)-S bond, the C(acyl)-C bond of
Controllable phosphorylation of thioesters: Selective synthesis of aryl and benzyl phosphoryl compounds
Xu, Kaiqiang,Liu, Long,Li, Zhaohui,Huang, Tianzeng,Xiang, Kang,Chen, Tieqiao
, p. 14653 - 14663 (2020/12/29)
The controllable phosphorylations of thioesters were developed. When the reaction was catalyzed by a palladium catalyst, aryl or alkenyl phosphoryl compounds were generated through decarbonylative coupling, while the benzyl phosphoryl compounds were produced through deoxygenative coupling when the reaction was carried out in the presence of only a base.

The direct nucleophilic addition to amides represents an attractive methodology in organic synthesis that tackles amidic resonance by ground-state destabilization. This approach has been recently accomplished with carbon, nitrogen and oxygen nucleophiles.

, p. 1907 - 1910 (2019/05/02)
A method for Ni-catalyzed controlled decarbonylation of α-ketothioesters is described. Mono- and double-decarbonylations, which gave thioesters and thioethers, respectively, were selectively achieved by changing the ligand. A fundamental study of Ni-catalyzed decarbonylation of α-ketothioesters is presented.
