Synthesis of Symmetrical Thiosulfonates via Cu(OTf)2-Catalyzed Reductive Homocoupling of Arenesulfonyl Chlorides

A variety of symmetrical thiosulfonates are synthesized via Cu-catalyzed reductive homocoupling of aryl sulfonyl chlorides. This protocol uses organic amine acting as a mild reductant and low-cost copper as an effective catalyst. Such a reductive coupling process features a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. Related thiosulfonate products can also be converted into diverse functional molecules.

Dual Roles of Rongalite: Reductive Coupling Reaction to Construct Thiosulfonates Using Sulfonyl Hydrazides

A tunable and practical transformation of structurally diverse sulfonyl hydrazides into thiosulfonates in the presence of Rongalite (NaHSO 2·CH 2O) was developed. Transition-metal-free conditions, operational simplicity, and readily available reagents are the striking features of this protocol. It is the first example for the synthesis of thiosulfonates using sulfonyl hydrazides with the assistance of reductant. Additionally, the mechanistic studies revealed that this transformation probably undergoes via a reducing-coupling pathway.

Direct conversion of sulfinamides to thiosulfonates without the use of additional redox agents under metal-free conditions

Direct conversion of sulfinamides to thiosulfonates is described. Without the use of additional redox agents, the reaction proceeds smoothly in the presence of TFA under metal-free conditions. This protocol possesses many advantages such as odourless and stable starting materials, broad substrate scope, selective synthesis, and mild reaction conditions. This journal is

Metal-Free Radical Annulation of Oxygen-Containing 1,7-Enynes: Configuration-Selective Synthesis of (E)-3-((Arylsulfonyl)methyl)-4-Substituted Arylidenechromene Derivatives

A novel strategy for the synthesis of (E)-3-((arylsulfonyl)methyl)-4-substituted benzylidenechromene derivatives via a metal-free radical annulation reaction of oxygen-containing 1,7-enynes with thiosulfonates has been developed. The reaction shows broad substrate scope, wide functional group tolerance, and moderate to excellent yields. Moreover, thiosulfonates were well driven to achieve the bifunctionalization reaction of oxo-1,7-enynes which derived from aliphatic alkynes. In addition, the (E)-configuration of the products was highly controlled by the structure of 1,7-enyne.

Perfluoroalkylation of Thiosulfonates: Synthesis of Perfluoroalkyl Sulfides

A practical synthesis of perfluoroalkyl sulfides is described. The method employs stable and readily accessible thiosulfonates as new electrophiles with commercial nucleophilic perfluoroalkylating reagents. The mild reaction conditions allow access to a wide variety of both aryl- and alkyl-substituted perfluoroalkyl sulfides amenable to pharmaceutical development. Furthermore, the reaction operation is straightforward, odorless, does not produce toxic wastes, and, therefore should appeal to practitioners in industrial-scale productions.

CuCl2-promoted decomposition of sulfonyl hydrazides for the synthesis of thiosulfonates

Sulfonyl hydrazides recently received much attention as reagents for the introduction of sulfur-containing functional groups into organic compounds, because both sulfonyl and sulfenyl sources could be generated by the oxidation and decomposition of the sulfonyl hydrazides, respectively. However, the transformations of sulfonyl hydrazides into thiosulfonates, which could be produced by the reaction between sulfonyl and sulfenyl sources, have been less investigated. In this manuscript, we describe CuCl2-promoted selective synthesis of thiosulfonates from sulfonyl hydrazides. A variety of thiosulfonates were produced in moderate to good yields. The mechanism involving radical intermediates such as sulfonyl radical and thiyl radical was proposed on the basis of the previously reported references and mechanistic investigations. In addition, quantum chemical simulations revealed that Cu-promoted decomposition of sulfonyl hydrazides is thermodynamically viable in the developed conditions.

External Oxidant-Free Oxidative Tandem Cyclization: NaI-Catalyzed Thiolation for the Synthesis of 3-Thiosubstituted Pyrroles

A simple method for the synthesis of 3-thiosubstituted pyrroles from homopropargylic amines and thiosulfonates via a tandem sulfenylation/cyclization has been developed. The thiosulfonates are used both as substrates and oxidants in this transformation. This procedure exhibits good functional group tolerance and a series of 3-thiosubstituted pyrrole derivatives was obtained in moderate to good yields. (Figure presented.).

Transition-Metal-Free Synthesis of Thiosulfonates through Radical Coupling Reaction

An efficient and practical transition-metal-free radical coupling reaction of sulfonyl hydrazides mediated by NIS/K 2 S 2 O 8 has been developed to afford a variety of biological activity thiosulfonates in moderate to excellent yields. Compared to a known approach for the synthesis of thiosulfonates from sulfonyl hydrazides, this strategy features high yields, mild reaction conditions, and broad substrate scope. The mechanistic studies revealed that the procedure undergoes via a radical cross-coupling process for the construction of S-S bonds.

Disproportionate Coupling Reaction of Sodium Sulfinates Mediated by BF3·OEt2: An Approach to Symmetrical/Unsymmetrical Thiosulfonates

The BF3·OEt2-mediated disproportionate coupling reaction of sodium sulfinates was found for the first time. In this reaction, various S-S(O)2 bonds can be formed, efficiently giving thiosulfonates in moderate to excellent yields. As a convenient protocol for the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical thiosulfonates, its reaction mechanism involves the formation of a thiyl radical and sulfonyl radical via a sulfinyl radical disproportionation. What is more, this transformation can also be applied practically as a gram-scale reaction and to the two-step synthesis of sulfone and sulfonamide in one pot in situ using thiosulfonate as an intermediate.

Tunable and Practical Synthesis of Thiosulfonates and Disulfides from Sulfonyl Chlorides in the Presence of Tetrabutylammonium Iodide

A tunable and practical synthesis of electrophilic sulfenylating reagents, thiosulfonates and disulfides, from inexpensive and easily available sulfonyl chlorides, has been developed. By appropriate choice of solvents, the reaction of sulfonyl chlorides and tetrabutylammonium iodide gave the target products in good to excellent yields, respectively. These transformations probably proceed through a reducing–coupling pathway. (Figure presented.).
