Acid/Phosphide-Induced Radical Route to Alkyl and Alkenyl Sulfides and Phosphonothioates from Sodium Arylsulfinates in Water

A newly developed aqueous system with acid and phosphide was introduced in which odorless and stable sodium arylsulfinates can in situ generate arylsulfenyl radicals. These radicals have high reactivity to react with alkynes, alkenes, and H-phosphine oxides for the synthesis of alkyl and alkenyl sulfides and phosphonothioates. The control experiments and quantum calculations are also performed to gain insights into the generation mechanism of arylsulfenyl radicals. Notably, the chemistry is free of thiol odors, organic solvents, and metals.

Rhodium-catalyzed reaction of thiols with polychloroalkanes in the presence of triethylamine

(Chemical Equation Presented) RhCl(PPh3)3 catalyzes a reaction of thiols with polychloroalkanes in the presence of triethylamine. This reaction serves as a convenient new method to produce formaldehyde dithioacetals, ethylenedithioethers, thioformates, and dithiocarbonic esters under mild conditions.

MODERN FRIEDEL-CRAFTS CHEMISTRY. XIV. ON THE CYCLIZATION OF SELECTED ARYL HYDROXYALKYL SULFIDES

The feasibility of cycloalkylation reactions in the presence of Friedel-Crafts catalysts was demonstrated in a nimber of aryl hydroxyalkyl sulfides (1-5), and benzyl hydroxyalkyl sulfides (6-7).Treatment of compounds (1-7) with Friedel-Crafts catalysts gave diaryl disulfides, diaryl sulfides, arene thiols, chlorohydrins, aryl chloroalkyl sulfides, aryl alkenyl sulfides and cyclization products.It is noteworthy to mention that cyclization products were isolated only in cases where the hydroxyl group is linked to a tertiary carbon atom as in compounds 3 and 7.A suitable reaction pathway is suggested to rationalize the formation of the various reaction products.
