Direct C-H Thiolation for Selective Cross-Coupling of Arenes with Thiophenols via Aerobic Visible-Light Catalysis

An aerobic metal-free, visible-light-induced regioselective thiolation of phenols with thiophenols is reported. The cross-coupling protocol exhibits great functional group tolerance and high regioselectivity. Mechanistic studies reveal that the disulfide

Manganese-catalyzed cross-coupling of thiols with aryl iodides

A manganese-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of thiols with aryl iodides, furnishing aryl thioethers in good to excellent yields has been reported; the system shows good functional group tolerance and enables the sterically demanding aryl iodides to couple with thiols. Coming up for ArI: A manganese-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of thiols with aryl iodides that furnishes aryl thioethers in good to excellent yields has been reported. Functional groups such as unprotected alcohols and chloro substituents are tolerated under these reaction conditions. Moreover, this catalytic system enables the sterically demanding aryl iodides to couple with thiols (see scheme; R=aryl or alkyl).

A general rhodium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of thiols with aryl iodides

The general procedure for the rhodium-catalyzed cross-coupling of thiols with aryl iodides is described. The catalytic system consists of 5 mol % of [RhCl(cod)]2 and 10 mol % of PPh3 as a ligand. A variety of aryl iodides reacted with thiols, giving aryl thioethers in good to excellent yields. It is important to note that the deactivated aryl iodides such as 4-iodoanisole is worked smoothly to provide the corresponding aryl thioethers in excellent yields. Functional groups such as free-amines, chloro, are all tolerated under the employed reaction conditions.

One-pot synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical aryl sulfides by Pd-catalyzed couplings of aryl halides and thioacetates

Aryl sulfides were obtained from the coupling reaction of S-aryl (or S-alkyl) thioacetates and aryl bromides in the presence of palladium catalyst. This reaction method enables the one-pot synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical diaryl sulfides by employing potassium thioacetate with aryl iodides and aryl bromides.

Alkyl- and Arylthiodediazoniations of Dry Arenediazonium o-Benzenedisulfonimides. Efficient and Safe Modifications of the Stadler and Ziegler Reactions to Prepare Alkyl Aryl and Diaryl Sulfides

The reaction between dry arenediazonium o-benzenedisulfonimides 1 and sodium thiolates in anhydrous methanol represents an efficient and safe procedure, of general validity, for the preparation of unfunctionalized or variously functionalized alkyl aryl and diaryl sulfides. As a rule, the reaction temperature was maintained at 0-5°C for the alkylthiodediazoniations and at room temperature (20-25°C) for the arylthiodediazoniations. The sulfide yields are generally high; of the 63 considered examples, 43 gave yields greater than 80% and 13 were between 70% and 80%. Lower yields were obtained only when sterically hindered diazonium salts or thiols were used. A good amount of the o-benzenedisulfonimide (8) was always recovered from the reactions and could be reused to prepare salts 1. The copious experimental data collected in homogeneous conditions have offered several starting points for the study of the mechanism of these reactions.
