Transalkylation of alkyl aryl sulfides with alkylating agents

The reaction of methyl iodide with tert-butylphenylsulfide in DMF leads to a transalkylation that produces methylphenylsulfide. This transalkylation reaction was further studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The polarity of the solvent, the electron density on the sulfur atom, and the strength of the alkylating agent (MeI, EtI, BuI, dimethyl sulfate, or dimethyl carbonate) played important roles in the reaction. The suggested mechanism of the reaction involves the formation of a dialkyl aryl sulfonium salt that subsequently eliminates the radical. This mechanism was supported by the observation of higher conversion rates for compounds with more branched alkyl groups on the sulfur atom, which may lead to the formation of more stable radicals.

Tert-Butyl Sulfoxides: Key Precursors for Palladium-Catalyzed Arylation of Sulfenate Salts

The present report describes an efficient and clean generation of sulfenate salts (R1SO-) by pyrolysis of readily available tert-butyl sulfoxides to give sulfenic acids (R1SOH) and traceless isobutene, followed by hydrogen abstraction with a weak inorganic base (K3PO4). The relevance of this process was exemplified through an in situ palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with aryl halides/triflates leading to aryl sulfoxides. The operationally simple C-S bond-forming protocol developed uses Pd(dba)2 as catalyst and Xantphos as ligand in toluene or a toluene/H2O mixture. Further extensions include the use of di-tert-butyl sulfoxide as an equivalent for sulfur monoxide dianion (SO2-) and the development of diastereoselective versions in the [2.2]paracyclophane and biaryl series.

A general, efficient, and functional-group-tolerant catalyst system for the palladium-catalyzed thioetherification of aryl bromides and iodides

The cross-coupling reaction of aryl bromides and iodides with aliphatic and aromatic thiols catalyzed by palladium complexes of the bisphosphine ligand CyPF-tBu (1) is reported. Reactions occur in excellent yields, broad scope, high tolerance of functional groups, and with turnover numbers that exceed those of previous catalysts by 2 or 3 orders of magnitude. These couplings of bromo- and iodoarenes are more efficient than the corresponding reactions of chloroarenes and could be conducted with less catalyst loading and/or milder reaction conditions. Consequently, limitations regarding scope and functional group tolerance previously reported in the coupling of aryl chlorides are now overcome.

CATALYSTS FOR ARYL SULFIDE SYNTHESIS AND METHOD OF PRODUCING ARYL SULFIDES

The present invention relates to the formation of aryl sulfides and aryl thiols from aryl halides and thiols, thiolates or thiolate equivalents. The present invention provides a catalyst for the coupling of aryl halides with alkyl or aryl thiols or a hydrogen sulfide equivalent to form aryl alkyl, aryl silyl or diaryl sulfides. The reaction encompasses bromoarenes and other similar compounds containing leaving groups as well as nitrile, ester, keto, free hydroxyl, free amino, free carboxylic acid and other common functionalities. The invention can be used to prepare pharmaceutical compounds, especially including their intermediates, agricultural agents and aryl sulfide polymers.

A general and long-lived catalyst for the palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl halides with thiols

A general catalytic system for the coupling of aryl halides and sulfonates with thiols based on the use of the CyPF-t-Bu ligand (1) is reported. The reactions catalyzed by complexes of 1 occur in excellent yields with broad scope and exhibit extraordinary turnover numbers and high tolerance of functional groups. Turnover numbers usually exceed those of previous catalysts by 2 or 3 orders of magnitude. In addition, the reactions of aryl tosylates with alkane thiols to form aryl sulfides are reported for the first time. Finally, the synthesis of a diarylsulfide from two bromoarenes was accomplished using a hydrogen sulfide surrogate. Copyright

Highly efficient and functional-group-tolerant catalysts for the palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl chlorides with thiols

The cross-coupling reaction of aryl chlorides with aliphatic and aromatic thiols catalyzed by palladium complexes of the strongly binding bisphosphine CyPF-tBu ligand (1) is reported. Most of the reactions catalyzed by complexes of ligand 1 occur with turnover numbers that exceed those of previous catalysts by two orders of magnitude. The reactions occur with excellent yields, broad scope and high tolerance of functional groups. Coupling of aryl halides with thiols in the presence of low loadings of catalysts derived from other Josiphos type ligands, as well as ligands of other structural types, are also described.
