A nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling of aryl triflates with thiocarbonates is reported here. Both electron-rich and -deficient aryl C(sp2)-O electrophiles as well as a class of O-tBu S-alkyl thiocarbonates are compatible with the optimized reaction conditions, as evidenced by 49 examples. The reaction also proceeds with good chemoselective cleavage of the C-O bond with regard to thioesters. This work broadens the scope of nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-electrophile coupling reactions.

We synthesized a series of small symmetrical unsaturated disulfides by a multi-step reaction starting from organic alcohols, and we performed a preliminary test to evaluate the effect of these compounds on the viability of A549 lung cancer cells. The garlic-derived natural compound diallyl disulfide, known for its anticancer activity, was used as the lead compound in this study. We synthesized five DADS analogues having different carbon chain lengths and different positions of the double bonds. Two analogues exhibited a promising antitumor activity in vitro, and the allylic double bond did not seem to be the main driving force.

Thioacetates as precursors of thiols are interesting starting points for synthesizing other organosulfur compounds. Herein, we propose a simple, efficient and fast method to obtain organic thioacetates using water as a solvent. Taking into account the great attention that has been paid toward environmentally friendly synthetic procedures in the past decades, we prove the role and the strength of the thioacetate anion as a nucleophile for nucleophilic displacement reactions in an aqueous medium. The reactions were carried out under pH control, to prevent the decomposition of the mesylate starting materials, using potassium carbonate as a safe and mild base. A simple work up allows products to be obtained with excellent yield and acceptable purity.
The regiochemistry of cyclization of α-sulfenyl-, α-sulfinyl-, and α-sulfonyl-5-hexenyl radicals: Procedures leading to regioselective syntheses of cyclic sulfones and sulfoxides

A study of the cyclization of α-sulfenyl-, α-sulfinyl-, and α-sulfonyl-5-hexenyl and 5-methyl-5-hexenyl radicals reveals a unique contrast in the mode of ring closure of the radicals. In the case of the 5-hexenyl radicals, the sulfinyl-substituted species displays unexpected regioselectivity relative to its analogues. Thus, while the α-S- and α-SO2-5-hexenyl radicals give measurable and increasing quantities of 6-endo product, the α-sulfinyl species cyclizes with high selectivity (95.5:4.5) via a 5-exo mode. By contrast, ring closure of the 5-methyl-5-hexenyl radicals is found to give substantially the 6-endo product in all cases. It is the α-sulfonyl-5-methyl-5-hexenyl radical that now exhibits high regioselectivity (97.5:2.5) for 6-endo closure: an illustration of the synthetic value of this observation is the independent synthesis of the model cyclohexyl sulfone 61 in high yield. It is found that ring closure under the conditions employed occurs irreversibly in all cases.
Alkenylthioimidoyl radicals: Competition between β-scission and cyclization to dihydrothiophen-2-ylidene-amines

(Matrix presented) But-3-enylthioimidoyl radicals were shown by EPR spectroscopy and end product analysis to ring-close predominantly in the 5-exo mode with a rate constant of 2.4 × 104 s-1 at 300 K to afford substituted dihydrothiophenylmethyl radicals. This ring closure was in competition with dissociation to but-3-enyl radicals and an isothiocyanate. The dissociation predominated at temperatures above ca. 300 K.
