Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylative Synthesis of Aryl Selenoesters Using Formic Acid as an Ex Situ CO Source

A new catalytic protocol for the synthesis of selenoesters from aryl iodides and diaryl diselenides has been developed, where formic acid was employed as an efficient, low-cost, and safe substitute for toxic and gaseous CO. This protocol presents a high functional group tolerance, providing access to a large family of selenoesters in high yields (up to 97%) while operating under mild reaction conditions, and avoids the use of selenol which is difficult to manipulate, easily oxidizes, and has a bad odor. Additionally, this method can be efficiently extended to the synthesis of thioesters with moderate-to-excellent yields, by employing for the first time diorganyl disulfides as precursors.

Palladium Catalyzed Direct Carbonylative Thiomethylation of Aryldiazonium Salts and Amines with 4-(Methylthio)-2-Butanone as (Methylthio) Transfer Agent

Herein, an interesting palladium-catalyzed procedure for the direct carbonylative thiomethylation of aromatic amine derivatives with 4-methylthio-2-butanone is developed. Using 4-methylthio-2-butanone as (methylthio) transfer agent, a variety of corresponding thioesters are obtained with moderate to good yields under base-free condition. In addition, good functional group tolerance can be observed.

Palladium-catalyzed intermolecular transthioetherification of aryl halides with thioethers and thioesters

Functional group transfer reactions are an important synthetic tool in modern organic synthesis. Herein, we developed a new palladium-catalyzed intermolecular transthioetherification reaction of aryl halides with thioethers and thioesters. The synthetic utility and practicality of this catalytic protocol are demonstrated in a wide range of successful transformations (>70 examples). This catalytic protocol is applicable in carbonylative coupling processes as well, and the first example of carbonylative methylthioesterification of aryl halides has been achieved. Notably, this work also provides an approach to using natural products, such as methionine and selenomethionine, as the functional group sources.

Group 13 metal carbochalcogenoato complexes: Synthesis, X-ray structure analysis, and reactions

A series of alkali metal tetrakis(carbochalcogenoato)-gallates and -indates M[M′(EOCR)4](solv.) (M?=?alkali metal; M′?=?Ga, In; E?=?S, Se) and tris(carbodithioato)aluminum, -gallates and -indates M′ (SSCR)3 (M′?=?Al, Ga, In) were prepared by the reactions of alkali metal carbochalcogenate with metal trihalogenides (M′X3; M′?=?Al, Ga, In; X?=?Cl, Br) and by those of piperidinium carbodithioates or carbodithioic and carboselenoic acids with M′X3, respectively. An X-ray molecular structure analysis revealed that they have an acetone molecule as a crystal solvent. The reactions of the potassium complexes K[M′ (EOCR)4](H2O) (E?=?S, Se) with methanol and primary and secondary amines gave the corresponding methyl ester and amides in good yields, while the reactions with iodomethane and iodine gave S- and Se-methyl chalcogenoesters RCOEMe (E?=?S, Se) in good yields. Similar reactions of the tris(carbodithioato)gallates and -indates led to the corresponding O-methyl thioesters, thioamides, and S-methyl dithioesters in moderate to good yields. Oxidation of the tetrakis- and tris-derivatives with iodine afforded the corresponding diacyl dichalcogenides (RCOE)2 (E?=?S, Se) and di(carbothioyl) disulfides in quantitative yields. These reactions appeared to occur on the carbonyl or selenium atom of the tetrakis compounds and on the sulfide sulfur or thiocarbonyl carbon atom of the tris-compounds, respectively. A possible mechanism for these I2-oxidation reactions is discussed.

Indium-catalyzed direct conversion of lactones into thiolactones using a disilathiane as a sulfur source

An indium-catalyzed reaction of lactones and a disilathiane leading to thiolactones is described. The direct synthesis of thiolactones from lactones with an appropriate sulfur source is one of the most attractive approaches in organic and pharmaceutical chemistry. In this context, we found an indium-catalyzed direct conversion of lactones into thiolactones in the presence of elemental sulfur and a hydrosilane via formation of the disilathiane in situ. On the basis of the previous reaction, the application utilizing the disilathiane as a sulfur source was performed herein for the efficient synthesis of a variety of thiolactone derivatives from lactones by an indium catalyst.

One-pot odourless synthesis of thioesters via in situ generation of thiobenzoic acids using benzoic anhydrides and thiourea

An efficient and odourless procedure for a one-pot synthesis of thioesters by the reaction of benzoic anhydrides, thiourea and various organic halides (primary, allylic, and benzylic) or structurally diverse, electron-deficient alkenes (ketones, esters, and nitriles) in the presence of Et3 N has been developed. In this method, thiobenzoic acids were in situ generated from the reaction of thiourea with benzoic anhydrides, which were subjected to conjugate addition with electron-deficient alkenes or a nucleophilic displacement reaction with alkyl halides.

The first isolation and structural analysis of chalcogenocarboxylato samarium complexes, [(RCOS)3Sm(thf)2] and [Na(thf)4] [Sm(RCSS)4]; the alkali metal salt-like reaction and the insertion reaction of imine to the Sm-S bond

The first chalcogenocarboxylato lanthanid complexes, [(RCOS)3Sm(thf)2] and [Na(thf)4][Sm(RCSS)4](R=4-MeC6H4) were isolated and characterized crystallographically. They exhibit an alkali metal salt-like reaction such as S-esterification and an insertion reaction of C=N to the Sm-S bond.

REACTION OF para-SUBSTITUTED AROMATIC ACIDS WITH METHYL THIOCYANATE IN TRIFLUOROACETIC ACID

We have investigated the reactions of aromatic carboxylic acids (p-XC6H4COOH, in which X = F, Cl, Br, I, NO2, CH3, H, OCH3) with methyl thiocyanate in trifluoroacetic acid.It was shown that the starting acids are converted to S-methyl benzothioates and the nitrile of the acid .In addition to starting acid, in the reaction mixtures products of the reaction of CF3COOH with methyl thiocyanate were identified. Keywords: methyl thiocyanate, trifluoroacetic acid, S-methyl benzothioates, methyl mercaptan.

Reaction of Aryl Aldehydes with Thiocyanates in the Presence of Tributylphosphine

Aryl aldehydes react with methyl thiocyanate in the presence of tributylphosphine to afford S-methyl thiobenzoates and arylacetonitriles in good yields.This is a novel disproportionation reaction involving carbon-carbon bond formation.These compounds thus obtained are easily converted into deoxybenzoins using sodium hydride.On the other hand, p-dialkylaminobenzaldehydes react with methyl thiocyanate under the same conditions to furnish both the corresponding trans-dicyanostilbenes and succinonitriles in moderate yields.Finally, the reaction was carried out with aryl thiocyanates resulting in the formation of addition products.

Aromatic Substitution. 46. Methyl (Ethyl) Thio(Dithio)carboxylation of Aromatics with S-Methyl (S-Ethyl) Thiocarboxonium and Dithiocarboxonium Fluoroantimonates

S-Methyl(S-ethyl)thio(dithio)carboxinium ions were prepared by reacting methyl(ethyl) fluoride-antimony pentafluoride with carbonyl sulfide (carbon disulfide) and studied with 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy.The ions were subsequently used in the novel carboxylation reaction of arenes to S-methyl (S-ethyl) thio(dithio)benzoates.The method was also found to be adaptable to the carboxylation of polystyrene to poly(styrenecarboxylic acid) without degradation of the polymer backbone.
