Copper(II)-Catalyzed Single-Step Synthesis of Aryl Thiols from Aryl Halides and 1,2-Ethanedithiol

A highly efficient transition metal-catalyzed single-step synthesis of aryl thiols from aryl halides has been developed employing copper(II) catalyst and 1,2-ethanedithiol. The key features are use of readily available reagents, a simple operation, and relatively mild reaction conditions. This new protocol shows a broad substrate scope with excellent functional group compatibility. A variety of aryl thiols are directly prepared from aryl halides in high yields. Furthermore, the aryl thiols are used in situ for the synthesis of more advanced molecules such as diaryl sulfides and benzothiophenes.

Highly efficient and magnetically separable nano-CuFe2O4 catalyzed S-arylation of thiourea by aryl/heteroaryl halides

The non-toxic and magnetically separable nano-CuFe2O4 catalyzed synthesis of symmetrical aryl sulfides by the reaction of thiourea with a wide variety of aryl halides, including aryl chlorides has been reported. Excellent yields of products have been obtained under ligand-free conditions and without the use of any expensive catalyst, such as palladium.

Efficient copper(I)-catalyzed S-arylation of KSCN with aryl halides in PEG-400

A simple and efficient protocol for CuI-catalyzed C-S bond formation of aryl halides with KSCN to symmetrical diaryl sulfides was reported in PEG-400 without any other additives. A variety of aryl halides were converted to the corresponding diaryl sulfides in good to excellent yields. The present procedure tolerated a variety of functional groups and the steric hindrance of ortho-substituents on aryl halides did not affect the outcome.

Efficient copper-catalyzed double S-arylation of aryl halides with sodium sulfide in PEG-400

An efficient copper-catalyzed double S-arylation of sodium sulfide with aryl halides in PEG-400 has been developed. With CuI as a catalyst and PEG-400 as a solvent, a range of electron-withdrawing or electron-donating aryl iodides and aryl bromides were found to be applicable to the environmentally benign system. The present procedure is mild and tolerant of a variety of functional groups and the steric hindrance of ortho-substituents on aryl halides did not affect the outcome of good to excellent yields.

Copper oxide nanoparticles catalyzed synthesis of aryl sulfides via cascade reaction of aryl halides with thiourea

Recyclable copper oxide nanoparticles catalyzed simple and highly efficient protocol for the synthesis of symmetrical aryl sulfides was developed by the cross-coupling of aromatic halides with inexpensive and commercially available thiourea which was used as an effective sulfur surrogate. The present cross-coupling protocol of thiourea, via cascade reaction with various substituted aryl halides, producing desired aryl sulfides, has an added advantage of avoiding foul-smelling thiols.

Nano copper oxide catalyzed synthesis of symmetrical diaryl sulfides under ligand free conditions

Potassium thiocyanate acts as an efficient sulfur surrogate in C-S cross-coupling reactions mediated by recyclable copper oxide nanoparticles under ligand free conditions. This protocol avoids foul smelling thiols, for the synthesis of a variety of symmetrical diaryl sulfides, via the cross-coupling of different aryl halides with potassium thiocyanate, affording corresponding products in moderate to excellent yields.

Improved synthesis of thiofluorescein

Thiofluorescein was synthesized in a preparative yield by successive demethylation of 3,3′-dimethoxydiphenyl sulfide to 3,3′- dihydroxydiphenyl sulfide and condensation of the latter with phthalic anhydride in H2SO4. The title compound was also obtained in a higher yield from 3,3′-dimethoxydiphenyl sulfide directly in a one-pot process combining the condensation in H2SO4 and demethylation in 2 Py·H2SO4. 2005 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.

Novel Photosensitizers for the E/Z-Isomerization of Trienes. Part 1. Synthesis and Application

Uranine and its thioxanthene and selenoxanthene analogues, as well as the disodium salts of o-(6-hydroxy-3-oxo-3H-xanthen-9-yl)benzenesulphonic acid and its thioxanthene and selenoxanthene analogues, show different photosensitizer properties in the E/Z-isomerization of trienes.This has been verified by applying them to the technically useful conversion of tachysterol into previtamin D.The synthesis of the novel photosensitizers with thioxanthene and selenoxanthene moieties are also described.
