Vanadium-catalyzed sulfenylation of indoles and 2-naphthols with thiols under molecular oxygen

Vanadium oxyacetylacetonate [VO(acac)2] works as a catalyst for the direct synthesis of 3-sulfanylindoles from indoles and thiols under an atmospheric pressure of molecular oxygen as a reoxidant. For example, the reaction of 2-phenylindole with benzenethiol in the presence of a catalytic amount of VO(acac)2, potassium iodide, and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol in chlorobenzene under molecular oxygen proceeds to afford 2-phenyl-3- (phenylsulfanyl)indole in 86% yield. This catalytic system can also be applied to 2-naphthols instead of indoles to give the corresponding 1-sulfanyl-2- naphthols in up to 57% yield.

Flavin/I2-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative C–H Sulfenylation of Aryl-Fused Cyclic Amines

We report an aerobic oxidative C–H sulfenylation of aryl-fused cyclic amines with various thiols catalyzed by flavin/I2 for the first time. While flavin I catalyzed the C–H sulfenylation of indolines to afford 3-sulfenylindoles, flavin II enabl

Iodine/Manganese Catalyzed Sulfenylation of Indole via Dehydrogenative Oxidative Coupling in Anisole

This protocol describes an iodine/manganese catalytic system for dehydrogenative oxidative coupling reaction of indoles with thiols in anisole. Particularly, the dual roles of anisole have been first demonstrated as a solvent and as a promoter via the formation of an oxonium ion intermediate to accelerate the generation of products. A series of sulfenylindoles are readily constructed under aerobic mild reaction conditions. In addition, the achievement for preparing anticancer and anti-AIDS drugs testifies the practicability of this approach. The mechanism studies disclose probable alternative pathways and a single-electron transfer process are involved in this transformation. (Figure presented.).

The structural formula of the cuprous complex isshown in the specification, Ar is aryl containing a benzene ring or heterocyclic aryl, and ''.'' is a boron hydrogen bond; the preparation method comprises the following steps: 1) dissolving ortho-carborane diformaldehyde and arylamine in an organic solvent, reacting at 60-100 DEG C, and cooling to room temperature after the reaction is finished; and 2) adding CuI, reacting at room temperature for 3-6 hours, and separating to obtain the cuprous complex.

NH4I/1,10-phenanthroline catalyzed direct sulfenylation of N-heteroarenes with ethyl arylsulfinates

An efficient synthesis of N-heterocyclic aryl sulfides via NH4I/1,10-phenanthroline-catalyzed direct sulfenylation reactions was reported. In this reaction, heteroarenes such as indoles, and pyrroles serve as nucleophiles by installing a arylthio group at the C3 and C2 position of heterocycles, respectively. With readily accessible and free of unpleasant odor ethyl arylsulfinates as sulfur reagents, the metal-free-catalyzed direct sulfenylation of N-heteroarenes has been developed. 3-Arylthio-indoles and 2-arylthio-pyrroles derivatives were obtained in moderate to excellent yields, even on gram scale. The reaction was general for a broad scope of substrates and demonstrated good tolerance to a variety of functional groups.

Domino C?S/C?N Bond Formation Using Well-Defined Copper-Phosphine Complex Catalyst: Divergent Approach to 3-Sulfenylated Indoles

A protocol was developed for the synthesis of 3-thioindoles in good-to-excellent yields involving sulfenylation between 2-nitrocinnamaldehydes and various thiols using a well-defined copper(I)-phosphine complex catalyst. This unconventional divergent approach involves in situ generation of indoles via domino C?S/C?N bond formation initiated by sulfa-Michael addition followed by intramolecular N-heteroannulation. This protocol shows good chemoselectivity and broad substrate scope. To briefly demonstrate the value of this approach, 2-benzoyl-3-sulfenylated indoles were prepared from commercially available 2-nitrochalcones and thiols. (Figure presented.).

Synthesis of 3-Sulfenylindoles from Indoles and Various Sulfenylation Agents through Aerobic Oxidative C-S Bond Coupling

A novel aerobic catalytic oxidation system for the sulfenylation of indoles with a variety of sulfenylation agents through oxidative C-S bond coupling has been successfully developed. The reactions were performed with potassium iodide as the catalyst, sodium nitrite as the co-catalyst, and molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant in the presence of acetic acid. Under the optimal reaction conditions, a number of indoles could be sulfenylated with Bunte salts, thiols, or disulfides to generate 3-sulfenylindoles in good yields. This protocol provided an efficient and environmentally benign strategy for the synthesis of 3-sulfenylindoles.

Catalytic cross-dehydrogenative coupling of heteroarenes with thiophenols and phenothiazines has been developed under mild and environmentally benign reaction conditions.

The sustainable cross-coupling conditions utilize ambient oxygen as the terminal oxidant, while water is the sole by-product.
