Practical Electro-Oxidative Sulfonylation of Phenols with Sodium Arenesulfinates Generating Arylsulfonate Esters

A practical and sustainable synthesis of arylsulfonate esters has been developed through electro-oxidation. This reaction employed the stable and readily available phenols and sodium arenesulfinates as the starting materials and took place under mild reaction conditions without additional oxidants. A wide range of arylsulfonate esters including those bearing functional groups were produced in good to excellent yields. This reaction could also be conducted at a gram scale without a decrease of reaction efficiency. Those results well demonstrated the potential synthetic value of this reaction in organic synthesis.

Electrochemical cross-coupling reactions of sodium arenesulfinates with thiophenols and phenols

A green electrochemical oxidative cross-coupling protocol for the generation of thiosulfonates and sulfonate esters using sodium arenesulfinates and thiophenols/phenols is disclosed. The protocol involves using inorganic and non-toxic NaI as both redox catalyst and supporting electrolyte at room temperature without oxidant and base. The reactions provide good yields of products and tolerate broad substrate scope. The mechanistic studies revealed that the reactions proceed via a radical pathway for the formation of SO2–S and SO2–O bonds.

Liganding Functional Tyrosine Sites on Proteins Using Sulfur-Triazole Exchange Chemistry

Tuning reactivity of sulfur electrophiles is key for advancing click chemistry and chemical probe discovery. To date, activation of the sulfur electrophile for protein modification has been ascribed principally to stabilization of a fluoride leaving group (LG) in covalent reactions of sulfonyl fluorides and arylfluorosulfates. We recently introduced sulfur-triazole exchange (SuTEx) chemistry to demonstrate the triazole as an effective LG for activating nucleophilic substitution reactions on tyrosine sites of proteins. Here, we probed tunability of SuTEx for fragment-based ligand discovery by modifying the adduct group (AG) and LG with functional groups of differing electron-donating and -withdrawing properties. We discovered the sulfur electrophile is highly sensitive to the position of modification (AG versus LG), which enabled both coarse and fine adjustments in solution and proteome activity. We applied these reactivity principles to identify a large fraction of tyrosine sites (～30%) on proteins (～44%) that can be liganded across >1500 probe-modified sites quantified by chemical proteomics. Our proteomic studies identified noncatalytic tyrosine and phosphotyrosine sites that can be liganded by SuTEx fragments with site specificity in lysates and live cells to disrupt protein function. Collectively, we describe SuTEx as a versatile covalent chemistry with broad applications for chemical proteomics and protein ligand discovery.

Deprotection of durable benzenesulfonyl protection for phenols — efficient synthesis of polyphenols

A robust protection method for phenol was demonstrated by the use of durable benzenesulfonyl group, which survives various harsh reaction conditions using Grignard reagent, organolithium reagent, metal alkoxide, phosgene, mineral, and Lewis acids. A facile deprotection condition utilizing pulverized KOH (5 equiv) and t-BuOH (10 equiv) in hot toluene makes this protocol as a practical method, which can be applied to the multistep synthesis of biologically and medicinally important polyphenol compounds.

Unprecedented observation of sulfonamides in the transesterification of N-unsubstituted carbamates with sulfonyl chlorides

Sulfonamides have been identified as by-products in the base-mediated transesterification of N-unsubstituted carbamates with sulfonyl chlorides to give the corresponding sulfonates. A proposed mechanism and the synthesis of hindered 2,6-disubstituted arylsulfonates via this method are also reported.

Room-Temperature Ni(0)-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions of Aryl Arenesulfonates with Arylboronic Acids

Room-temperature Ni(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of aryl arenesulfonates with arylboronic acids are described. The Ni(0) catalyst, derived from Ni(COD)2 and PCy3, proved to be a general one for the Suzuki?Miyaura cross-coupling of a variety of aryl arenesulfonates. The mild reaction condition, the readily availability of the catalyst, and excellent coupling yields make aryl arenesulfonates potentially useful substrates in organic synthesis. Copyright

Competitive Reaction Pathways in the Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions of Aryl Benzenesulfonates with Benzylamines in Acetonitrile

The reactions of aryl benzenesulfonates (YC6H4SO2OC6H4Z) with benzylamines (XC6H4CH2NH2) in acetonitrile at 65.0 deg C have been studied. The reactons proceed competitevely by S-O (kS-O) and C-O (kC-O) bond scission, but the former provides the major reaction pathway. On the basis of analysis of the Hammet and Broensted coefficients together with the cross-interaction constants ρXY, ρYZ, and ρXZ, stepwise mechanisms are proposed in which the S-O bond cleavage proceeds by rate-limiting formation of a trigonal-bipyramidal pentacoordinate (TBP-5C) intermediate, whereas the C-O bond scission takes place by rate-limiting expulsion of the sulfonate anion (YC6H4SO3-) from a Meisenheimer-type complex.

Synthetic use of 1,1,2,2-tetraphenyldisilane for the preparation of biaryls through the intramolecular free radical ipso-substitution of N-(2-bromoaryl)arenesulfonamides

Treatment of various N-methyl-N-(2-bromoaryl)arenesulfonamides (1a-g, 1i, and 1m) with 1,1,2,2-tetraphenyldisilane and AIBN under heating conditions gave the corresponding biaryl products (2a-g, 2i, and 2m) in moderate yields through the intramolecular radical ipso-substitution. However, N-H free N-(2-bromoaryl)arenesulfonamides 1h and 2-bromoaryl arenesulfonate 1j did not give the corresponding biarys. 1,1,2,2-Tetraphenyldisilane is the most effective reagent for 1,5-ipso-substitution on the sulfonamides among typical radical reagents such as diphenylsilane, tributyltin hydride, tris(trimethylsilyl)silane, and 1,1,2,2-tetraphenyldisilane. Furthermore, 1,1,2,2-tetraphenyldisilane has the advantages of low toxicity, stability, and ease of preparation.

Aryl Mesylates in Metal-Catalyzed Homocoupling and Cross-Coupling Reactions. 1. Functional Symmetrical Biaryls from Phenols via Nickel-Catalyzed Homocoupling of Their Mesylates

Aryl sulfonates including mesylate derived from phenols are converted in high yields to biaryls by homocoupling in the presence of catalytic amounts of zero-valent nickel catalysts generated in situ.This reaction provides the most convenient method for the synthesis of many functional symmetrical biaryls and was applied to the preparation of 2,2'-, 3,3'-, and 4,4'-disubstituted biphenyls and other biaryls.The influence of the electronic and steric effects of substituents attached in the ortho, meta, and para positions of aryl sulfonates and the nature of the sulfonate leaving group on the yield of homocoupled product as well as their influence on the extent of various side reactions were investigated.In addition, the influence of the effects of the polarity and dryness of solvent, halide ion source and concentration, and ratio of catalyst and ligand to aryl sulfonate are discussed.
