Sulfonium ion-promoted traceless Schmidt reaction of alkyl azides

Schmidt reaction by sulfonium ions is described. General primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl azides were converted to the corresponding carbonyl or imine compounds without any trace of the activators. This bond scission reaction through 1,2-migration of C-H and C-C bonds was accessible to the one-pot substitution reaction.

Aromatic Chlorosulfonylation by Photoredox Catalysis

Visible-light photoredox catalysis enables the efficient synthesis of arenesulfonyl chlorides from anilines. The new protocol involves the convenient in situ preparation of arenediazonium salts (from anilines) and the reactive gases SO2and HCl (from aqueous SOCl2). The photocatalytic chlorosulfonylation operates at mild conditions (room temperature, acetonitrile/water) with low catalyst loading. Various functional groups are tolerated (e.g., halides, azides, nitro groups, CF3, SF5, esters, heteroarenes). Theoretical and experimental studies support a photoredox-catalysis mechanism.

Continuous-Flow Diazotization for Efficient Synthesis of Methyl 2-(Chlorosulfonyl)benzoate: An Example of Inhibiting Parallel Side Reactions

An expeditious process for the highly efficient synthesis of methyl 2-(chlorosulfonyl)benzoate was described, which involved the continuous-flow diazotization of methyl 2-aminobenzoate in a three-inlet flow reactor via a cross joint followed by chlorosulfonylation in the tandem tank reactor. The side reaction such as hydrolysis was decreased eminently from this continuous-flow process even at a high concentration of hydrochloric acid. The mass flow rate of methyl 2-aminobenzoate was 4.58 kg/h, corresponding to an 18.45 kg/h throughput of diazonium salt solution. The potential of inhibiting parallel side reactions by conducting in a flow reactor was successfully demonstrated in this method.

Method of preparing 2-chlorosulfonylmethyl benzoate from phthalic anhydride and urea

The invention provides a method of preparing 2-chlorosulfonylmethyl benzoate from phthalic anhydride and urea. The method includes the steps of 1) adding solid phthalic anhydride and urea into a reaction kettle and heating the materials to 135-143 DEG C to carry out a reaction to prepare o-aminobenzene dicarboximide, feeding the o-aminobenzene dicarboximide with water and sodium hydroxide into a first tubular reactor, forcedly cooling the mixture to -12 - -15 DEG C; 2) adding methanol and a sodium hypochlorite solution to perform Hoffman degradation reaction, and separating the reaction product to obtain o-aminomethyl benzoate; 3) according to the same mass ratio, feeding the o-aminomethyl benzoate and a sodium nitrite solution to a second tubular reactor, cooling the reactants to 0 DEG C, and adding sulfuric acid to perform a diazo-reaction for 11.5-11.8 s; and 4) continuously performing a cyclic sulfurization oxidation tubular reaction for 2 h, when the reactants show a dark green color on an benzidine-ethylamine test paper, adding methylbenzene and separating the reactant to obtain the 2-chlorosulfonylmethyl benzoate. The method is safe and simple, is advanced and integrated, is high in synthesis efficiency, has less side reactions and greatly reduces influence due to human factors.

Aminoxidation of Arenethiols to N-Chloro-N-sulfonyl Sulfinamides

A simple and efficient method to synthesize N-chloro-N-sulfonylsulfinamides by the direct aminoxidation of arenethiols under aqueous and mild conditions is disclosed, geminally installing the oxo and amino groups on the sulfur atom of arenethiols. The products have been primarily developed as sulfinylation reagents to convert Grignard reagents into sulfoxides, and as amination reagents to convert secondary amines into hydrazine derivatives.

Arylphosphonylation and arylazidation of activated alkenes

Two radical-mediated processes of activated alkenes, namely arylphosphonylation and arylazidation, are described. The difunctionalization of alkenes by a tandem process that involves radical addition, 1,4-aryl migration, and desulfonylation generates α-ar

Hydrazines and azides via the metal-catalyzed hydrohydrazination and hydroazidation of olefins

The discovery, study, and implementation of the Co- and Mn-catalyzed hydrohydrazination and hydroazidation reactions of olefins are reported. These reactions are equivalent to direct hydroaminations of C-C double bonds with protected hydrazines or hydrazoic acid but are based on a different concept in which the H and the N atoms come from two different reagents, a silane and an oxidizing nitrogen source (azodicarboxylate or sulfonyl azide). The hydrohydrazination reaction using di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate is characterized by its ease of use, large functional group tolerance, and broad scope, including mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted olefins. Key to the development of the hydroazidation reaction was the use of sulfonyl azides as nitrogen sources and the activating effect of tert-butyl hydroperoxide. The reaction was found to be efficient for the functionalization of mono-, di-, and trisubstituted olefins, and only a few functional groups are not tolerated. The alkyl azides obtained are versatile intermediates and can be transformed to the free amines or triazoles without isolation of the azides. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest a rate-limiting hydrocobaltation of the alkene, followed by an amination reaction. Radical intermediates cannot be ruled out and may be involved.
