Dimsyl Anion Enables Visible-Light-Promoted Charge Transfer in Cross-Coupling Reactions of Aryl Halides

A methodology is reported for visible-light-promoted synthesis of unsymmetrical chalcogenides enabled by dimsyl anion in the absence of transition-metals or photoredox catalysts. The cross-coupling reaction between aryl halides and diaryl dichalcogenides proceeds with electron-rich, electron-poor, and heteroaromatic moieties. Mechanistic investigations using UV-Vis spectroscopy, time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations, and control reactions suggest that dimsyl anion forms an electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) complex capable of absorbing blue light, leading to a charge transfer responsible for generation of aryl radicals from aryl halides. This previously unreported mechanistic pathway may be applied to other light-induced transformations performed in DMSO in the presence of bases and aryl halides.

A water soluble Ni-Schiff base complex for homogeneous green catalytic C[sbnd]S cross-coupling reactions

Since the embarkation of C[sbnd]S cross-coupling from aryl halides with thiols a handful of works have been contemplated in aqueous medium. Herein, we report an example of a water soluble Ni-Schiff base complex as the green catalyst for the synthesis of t

Photoredox Nickel-Catalyzed C-S Cross-Coupling: Mechanism, Kinetics, and Generalization

Photoredox-mediated nickel-catalyzed cross-couplings have evolved as a new effective strategy to forge carbon-heteroatom bonds that are difficult to access with traditional methods. Experimental mechanistic studies are challenging because these reactions involve multiple highly reactive intermediates and perplexing reaction pathways, engendering competing, but unverified, proposals for substrate conversions. Here, we report a comprehensive mechanistic study of photoredox nickel-catalyzed C-S cross-coupling based on time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy, Stern-Volmer quenching, and quantum yield measurements. We have (i) discovered a self-sustained productive Ni(I/III) cycle leading to a quantum yield φ > 1; (ii) found that pyridinium iodide, formed in situ, serves as the dominant quencher for the excited state photocatalyst and a critical redox mediator to facilitate the formation of the active Ni(I) catalyst; and (iii) observed critical intermediates and determined the rate constants associated with their reactivity. Not only do the findings reveal a complete reaction cycle for C-S cross-coupling, but the mechanistic insights have also allowed for the reaction efficiency to be optimized and the substrate scope to be expanded from aryl iodides to include aryl bromides, thus broadening the applicability of photoredox C-S cross-coupling chemistry.

Regioselective C-H Thioarylation of Electron-Rich Arenes by Iron(III) Triflimide Catalysis

A mild and regioselective method for the preparation of unsymmetrical biaryl sulfides using iron(III) catalysis is described. Activation of N-(arylthio)succinimides using the powerful Lewis acid iron(III) triflimide allowed the efficient thiolation of a range of arenes, including anisoles, phenols, acetanilides, and N-heterocycles. The method was applicable for the late-stage thiolation of tyrosine and tryptophan derivatives and was used as the key step for the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant biaryl sulfur-containing compounds such as the antibiotic dapsone and the antidepressant vortioxetine. Kinetic studies revealed that while N-(arylthio)succinimides bearing electron-deficient arenes underwent thioarylation catalyzed entirely by iron(III) triflimide, N-(arylthio)succinimides with electron-rich arenes displayed an autocatalytic mechanism promoted by the Lewis basic product.

Methods, Syntheses and Characterization of Diaryl, Aryl Benzyl, and Dibenzyl Sulfides

Twenty-four aryl benzyl sulfides, diaryl sulfides and dibenzyl sulfides were synthesized by four methods and characterized by 1H NMR, FT-IR and Gas chromatography. The reaction conditions of different synthesis methods were studied from the aspects of time, solvent, base and dispersant. The molecular structures of benzylphenyl sulfide (2S), (4-tert-butylbenzyl)(4-methylphenyl) sulfide (4S), (4-methylbenzyl)(4-methylphenyl) sulfide (9S), di(4-methylphenyl) sulfide (11S), (3,5-dimethylphenyl)(4-methyl phenyl) sulfide (15S), and dibenzyl sulfide (19S) [22] have been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Compounds 2S and 15S crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/c, with a = 12.278(3), b = 15.894(3), c = 5.6056(11) ?, β = 94.532(2)°, and Z = 4 for 2S, and a = 9.800(9), b = 7.950(7), c = 16.690(15) ?, β = 100.890(12)°, and Z = 4 for 15S. The unit cell of 4S has a triclinic Pī symmetry with the cell parameters a = 6.0436(10), b = 8.7871(14), c = 15.535(2) ?, α = 81.921(2)°, β = 81.977(2)°, γ = 80.889(2)°, and Z = 2. Compounds 9S and 11S both crystallize in the orthorhombic space group P212121, with a = 6.188(3), b = 8.041(4), c = 26.005(14) ?, and Z = 4 for 9S, and a = 5.835(2), b = 8.010(3), c = 25.131(9) ?, and Z = 4 for 11S. Graphic Abstract: Twenty-four aryl sulfide compounds with different substituents were synthesized and characterized, and the molecular structures of six different sulfide compounds have been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]

A Visible-Light-Harvesting Covalent Organic Framework Bearing Single Nickel Sites as a Highly Efficient Sulfur–Carbon Cross-Coupling Dual Catalyst

Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) have recently emerged as light-harvesting devices, as well as elegant heterogeneous catalysts. The combination of these two properties into a dual catalyst has not yet been explored. We report a new photosensitive triazine-based COF, decorated with single Ni sites to form a dual catalyst. This crystalline and highly porous catalyst shows excellent catalytic performance in the visible-light-driven catalytic sulfur–carbon cross-coupling reaction. Incorporation of single transition metal sites in a photosensitive COF scaffold with two-component synergistic catalyst in organic transformation is demonstrated for the first time.

Paired Electrolysis Enabled Ni-Catalyzed Unconventional Cascade Reductive Thiolation Using Sulfinates

Herein, we have reported a nickel-catalyzed cascade reductive thiolation of aryl halides with sulfinates driven by paired electrolysis. This protocol uses sulfinates as the sulfur source, and various thioethers could be synthesized under mild conditions. By mechanism exploration, we find that a cascade chemical step is allowed on the electrode interface and could alter the reaction pathway in paired electrolysis, whose findings could help the discovery of novel cascade reactions with unique reactivity.

Preparation of Recyclable and Versatile Porous Poly(aryl thioether)s by Reversible Pd-Catalyzed C–S/C–S Metathesis

Porous organic materials (polymers and COFs) have shown a number of promising properties; however, the lability of their linkages often limits their robustness and can hamper downstream industrial application. Inspired by the outstanding chemical, mechanical, and thermal resistance of the 1D polymer poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS), we have designed a new family of porous poly(aryl thioether)s, synthesized via a mild Pd-catalyzed C–S/C–S metathesis-based method, that merges the attractive features common to porous polymers and PPS in a single material. In addition, the method is highly modular, allowing to easily introduce application-oriented functionalities in the materials for a series of environmentally relevant applications including metal capture, metal sensing, and heterogeneous catalysis. Moreover, despite their extreme chemical resistance, the polymers can be easily recycled to recover the original monomers, offering an attractive perspective for their sustainable use. In a broader context, these results clearly demonstrate the untapped potential of emerging single-bond metathesis reactions in the preparation of new, recyclable materials.

Forging C?S(Se) Bonds by Nickel-catalyzed Decarbonylation of Carboxylic Acid and Cleavage of Aryl Dichalcogenides

A nickel-catalyzed decarbonylation of carboxylic acids cross-coupling protocol has been developed for the straightforward C?S(Se) bond formation. This reaction is promoted by a commercially-available, user-friendly, inexpensive, air and moisture-stable nickel precatalyst. Various carboxylic acids and a wide range of aryl dichalcogenide substrates were tolerated in this process which afforded products in good to excellent yields. In addition, the present reaction can be conducted on gram scale in good yield.

Coupling of thiols and aromatic halides promoted by diboron derived super electron donors

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.
