Nickel-Catalyzed Difunctionalization of Alkynyl Bromides with Thiosulfonates and N -Arylthio Succinimides: A Convenient Synthesis of 1,2-Thiosulfonylethenes and 1,1-Dithioethenes

An efficient nickel-catalyzed vicinal thiosulfonylation of 1-bromoalkynes with thiosulfonates in the presence of cesium carbonate is described. An operationally simple and highly regioselective atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) of alkynyl bromides provides a wide range of (E)-1,2-thiosulfonylethenes (α-aryl-β-thioarylvinyl sulfones) in moderate to high yields. The extensive substrate scope of both alkynyl bromides and thiosulfonates is explored with a broad range of functional groups. Indole-derived 1,1-bromoalkenes were also successfully explored in this 1,2-thiosulfonylation process. Moreover, the nickel-catalyzed geminal -dithiolation of alkynyl bromides with N -arylthio succinimides provides 1,1-dithioalkenes in high yields. The present protocol is reliable on gram scale, and a sequential one-pot bromination and thiosulfonylation of phenylacetylene is achieved in a scale-up synthesis. Following control experiments, a plausible mechanism is proposed to rationalize the experimental outcome and the vicinal thio-sulfonylation.

Synthesis of symmetrical / unsymmetrical thiosulfonates through the disproportionate coupling reaction of sulfonyl hydrazide mediated by phosphomolybdic acid

Phosphomolybdic acid (H3PMo12O40) is reported as a green low-cost catalyst for the synthesis of symmetrical / unsymmetrical thiosulfonates via the disproportionate coupling reaction of sulfonyl hydrazide. The attributes of this reported catalytic system include low catalyst loadings (1 mol%), efficient turnover, and high yields (up to 94%). Additionally, this reaction mechanism involves the formation of a thiyl radical and sulfonyl radical via sulfinyl radical disproportionation.

The organocatalytic synthesis of perfluorophenylsulfides: Via the thiolation of trimethyl(perfluorophenyl)silanes and thiosulfonates

The organic superbase t-Bu-P4-catalyzed direct thiolation of trimethyl(perfluorophenyl)silanes and thiosulfonates was developed. Yields of perfluorophenylsulfides of up to 97% under catalysis of 5 mol% t-Bu-P4 were achieved. This method was shown to provide an efficient way to construct the perfluorophenyl-sulfur bond under mild metal-free reaction conditions. This journal is

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

H4SiW12O40-catalyzed cyclization of epoxides/aldehydes and sulfonyl hydrazides: An efficient synthesis of 3,4-disubstituted 1H-pyrazoles

A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of pyrazoles through a silicotungstic acid (H4SiW12O40)-catalyzed cyclization of epoxides/aldehydes and sulfonyl hydrazides has been developed. Various epoxides/aldehydes were smoothly reacted with sulfonyl hydrazides to furnish regioselectivity 3,4-disubstituted 1H-pyrazoles. The application of such an earth-abundant, readily accessible, and nontoxic catalyst provides a green approach for the construction of 3,4-disubstituted 1H-pyrazoles. A plausible reaction mechanism has been proposed on the basis of control experiments, GC-MS and DFT calculations.

Diaryl disulfides and thiosulfonates as combretastatin A-4 analogues: Synthesis, cytotoxicity and antitubulin activity

Diaryl disulfides and diaryl thiosulfonates were synthesized with the two phenyl rings of all compounds bearing identical halide substituents. Because of structural similarity to the potent antimitotic natural product combretastatin A-4 (CA-4), the compounds were examined for inhibition of tubulin polymerization, and the thiosulfonates were more active than the disulfides. The nine thiosulfonates had IC50 values ranging from 1.2 to 9.1 μM, as compared with 1.3 μM obtained with CA-4. The compounds thus ranged from equipotent with CA-4 to 7-fold less active. The nine disulfides had IC50 values ranging from 1.2 to 5.1 μM, as compared with 0.54 μM obtained with CA-4. The compounds thus ranged from less than half as active as CA-4 to over 9-fold less active. The most active members of each group, 2 g and 3c, in the assembly assay were modeled into the colchicine site. Compound 3c had significant hydrophobic interactions with β-tubulin residues CYS 241 and ALA 250, and its thiosulfonate bridge made a hydrogen bond with β-tubulin residue ASN 258. Compound 2 g had hydrophobic interactions with β-tubulin residues ALA 250, CYS 241 and ALA 254, but there was no significant interaction of the disulfide bridge with tubulin.

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.

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.

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.
