Pd-catalyzed synthesis of biphenyls with methylthio group

The synthesis of unsymmetrical biaryls with a methylthio group is achieved using the air-stable palladium-phosphinous acid complexes, [(t-Bu)2P(OH)]2 PdCl2 (POPd), as the catalyst. A great variety of substituted bromobenzenes having electron-withdrawing and electron-donating functional groups in para and meta positions have been successfully coupled with 3-methylthiophenylboronic acid.

CATIONIC BENZOANNELATION OF ACTIVE METHYLENE KETONES VIA OXOKETENDITHIOACETALS

α-Oxoketendithioacetals are shown to be useful intermediates for benzoannelation of α-methylene ketones by reactions with allylmagnesium bromide followed by cationic cyclisations of the resulting carbinolacetals.
