Nucleophilic C-H Etherification of Heteroarenes Enabled by Base-Catalyzed Halogen Transfer

We report a general protocol for the direct C-H etherification of N-heteroarenes. Potassium tert-butoxide catalyzes halogen transfer from 2-halothiophenes to N-heteroarenes to form N-heteroaryl halide intermediates that undergo tandem base-promoted alcohol substitution. Thus, the simple inclusion of inexpensive 2-halothiophenes enables regioselective oxidative coupling of alcohols with 1,3-azoles, pyridines, diazines, and polyazines under basic reaction conditions.

Silyloxymethanesulfinate as a sulfoxylate equivalent for the modular synthesis of sulfones and sulfonyl derivatives

An efficient protocol for the modular synthesis of sulfones and sulfonyl derivatives has been developed utilizing sodium tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethanesulfinate (TBSOMS-Na) as a sulfoxylate (SO22-) equivalent. TBSOMS-Na, easily prepared from the commercial reagents Rongalite and TBSCl, serves as a potent nucleophile in S-alkylation and Cu-catalyzed S-arylation reactions with alkyl and aryl electrophiles. The sulfone products thus obtained can undergo the second bond formation at the sulfur center with various electrophiles without a separate unmasking step to afford sulfones and sulfonyl derivatives such as sulfonamides and sulfonyl fluorides.

Palladium-catalyzed heteroaryl thioethers synthesis overcoming palladium dithiolate resting states inertness: Practical road to sulfones and NH-sulfoximines

We provide efficient synthetic access to heteroaryl sulfones in two-steps using a simple palladium–1,1′-bis[(diphenyl)phosphanyl]ferrocene catalyst to form in high yields variously functionalized heteroaromatic thioethers. Pyridinyl-containing substrates can be subsequently selectively oxidized into sulfones and NH-sulfoximines by using very mild oxidation conditions with a high functional group tolerance. In the palladium-catalyzed C–S coupling of heteroaromatic thiols, reactivity limitation is attached with electron-deficient thiols. We show that this limitation can be resolved by the successful use of 2-bromoheteroarenes in the C–S coupling. We established herein that this choice of heteroaryl electrophilic reagent in palladium-catalyzed C–S bond formation allows overcoming palladium dithiolate out-of-cycle resting state inertness. This was illustrated in the stoichiometric reactivity study of the palladium dithiolate formed from 4-trifluoromethylbenzen-1-thiol –isolated and characterized by multinuclear NMR and XRD– with both 2-chloropyridine and 2-bromopyridine.

Nickel-Catalyzed Synthesis of Diaryl Sulfones from Aryl Halides and Sodium Sulfinates

A novel nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of sulfinic acid salts with aryl halides is described. The reaction provides access to various diaryl sulfones in moderate to excellent yields. A broad range of functional groups and heteroaromatic compounds is tolerated under the reaction conditions.

Visible-Light Photoredox/Nickel Dual Catalysis for the Cross-Coupling of Sulfinic Acid Salts with Aryl Iodides

An efficient cross-coupling of sodium or lithium sulfinates with aryl iodides, using a combination of nickel and photoredox catalysis, is described. The dual catalyst system enables a versatile synthesis of aryl sulfones at room temperature in good yields and displays a broad functional group compatibility. The potential utility of this method in the late-stage diversification of complex molecules and in the conversion of organolithium reagents and sulfur dioxide into sulfones is demonstrated.

One-pot synthesis of aryl sulfones from organometallic reagents and iodonium salts

A transition-metal-free arylation of lithium, magnesium, and zinc sulfinates with diaryliodonium salts is described. The sulfinic acid salts were prepared from the reaction of the corresponding organometallic reagents and sulfur dioxide. Combination of the three single steps (preparation of the organometallic compound, sulfinate formation, and arylation) leads to a one-pot sequence for the synthesis of aryl sulfones from simple starting materials. The chemoselectivity of unsymmetrical diaryliodonium salts has been investigated. Potential and limitations of this method will be discussed.

Green chemical synthesis of 2-benzenesulfonyl-pyridine and related derivatives

A practical synthesis of 2-benzenesulfonylpyridine, 1, is described which is a key starting material for the manufacture of an investigational new drug candidate at Eli Lilly and Company. An optimized green chemical process was developed which features a novel tandem SNAr/oxidation under mild conditions to produce the target sulfone, 1, in 86% yield and>99% purity. In addition, this novel, environmentally friendly methodology was found to be general for the synthesis of substituted aromatic pyridyl sulfides and sulfones.

Unsymmetrical diaryl sulfones through palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl boronic acids and arylsulfonyl chlorides

A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl sulfones using the palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl boronic acids and arylsulfonyl chlorides has been developed. High product yields, a short reaction time, and mild reaction conditions are important features of this method.
