We have proven that pyridine-boryl complexes can be used as superelectron donors to promote the coupling of thiols and aromatic halides through a SRN1 mechanism. The reaction is efficient for a broad substrate scope, tolerating heterocycles including pyridines, enolizable or reducible functional groups. The method has been applied to intermediates in drug synthesis as well as interesting functionalized polythioethers through a controlled and consecutive intramolecular electron transfer process.

Nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative thioetherification of acyl fluorides has been developed. This transformation allows an array of acyl fluorides to react with thiophenols. A wide range of functional groups are well tolerated and the corresponding sulfides can be obtained in good to excellent yields. This protocol provides the formation of diverse carbon-sulfur bonds via a highly efficient decarbonylative process.

This report discloses a combined experimental and computational study aimed at understanding C-S reductive elimination from Co(iii) supported by a diarylamido/bis(phosphine) PNP pincer ligand. Divalent (PNP)Co-aryl complexes could be easily oxidized to five-coordinate Co(iii) derivatives, and anion metathesis provided five-coordinate (PNP)Co(Ar)(SAr′) complexes of Co(iii). In contrast to their previously described (POCOP)Co(Ar)(SAr′) analogs, but similarly to the (PNP)Rh(Ar)(SAr′) and (POCOP)Rh(Ar)(SAr′) analogs, (PNP)Co(Ar)(SAr′) undergo C-S reductive elimination with the formation of the desired diarylsulfide product ArSAr′. DFT studies and experimental observations are consistent with a concerted process. However, in contrast to the Rh analogs, the immediate product of such reductive elimination, the unobserved Co(i) complex (PNP)Co, un-dergoes rapid comproportionation with the (PNP)Co(Ar)(SAr′) starting material to give Co(ii) compounds (PNP)Co-Ar and (PNP)Co-SAr′.
