We provide efficient synthetic access to heteroaryl sulfones in two-steps using a simple palladium–1,1′-bis[(diphenyl)phosphanyl]ferrocene catalyst to form in high yields variously functionalized heteroaromatic thioethers. Pyridinyl-containing substrates can be subsequently selectively oxidized into sulfones and NH-sulfoximines by using very mild oxidation conditions with a high functional group tolerance. In the palladium-catalyzed C–S coupling of heteroaromatic thiols, reactivity limitation is attached with electron-deficient thiols. We show that this limitation can be resolved by the successful use of 2-bromoheteroarenes in the C–S coupling. We established herein that this choice of heteroaryl electrophilic reagent in palladium-catalyzed C–S bond formation allows overcoming palladium dithiolate out-of-cycle resting state inertness. This was illustrated in the stoichiometric reactivity study of the palladium dithiolate formed from 4-trifluoromethylbenzen-1-thiol –isolated and characterized by multinuclear NMR and XRD– with both 2-chloropyridine and 2-bromopyridine.

A practical synthesis of 2-benzenesulfonylpyridine, 1, is described which is a key starting material for the manufacture of an investigational new drug candidate at Eli Lilly and Company. An optimized green chemical process was developed which features a novel tandem SNAr/oxidation under mild conditions to produce the target sulfone, 1, in 86% yield and>99% purity. In addition, this novel, environmentally friendly methodology was found to be general for the synthesis of substituted aromatic pyridyl sulfides and sulfones.
