Ni-catalyzed C?S cross-coupling reactions have received less attention compared with other C-heteroatom couplings. Most reported examples comprise the thioetherification of most reactive aryl iodides with aromatic thiols. The use of C?O electrophiles in this context is almost uncharted. Here, we describe that preformed Ni(II) precatalysts of the type NiCl(allyl)(PMe2Ar’) (Ar’=terphenyl group) efficiently couple a wide range of (hetero)aryl halides, including challenging aryl chlorides, with a variety of aromatic and aliphatic thiols. Aryl and alkenyl tosylates are also well tolerated, demonstrating, for the first time, to be competent electrophilic partners in Ni-catalyzed C?S bond formation. The chemoselective functionalization of the C?I bond in the presence of a C?Cl bond allows for designing site-selective tandem C?S/C?N couplings. The formation of the two C-heteroatom bonds takes place in a single operation and represents a rare example of dual electrophile/nucleophile chemoselective process.

We describe here the facile construction of sterically hindered tertiary alkyl ethers and thioethers via the Zn(OTf)2catalyzed coupling of alcohols/phenols with unactivated tertiary alkyl bromides and the Cu(OTf)2-catalyzed thiolation of unactivated tertiary alkyl oxalates with thiols. The present protocol represents one of the most effective unactivated tertiary C(sp3)? heteroatom bond-forming conditions via readily accessible Lewis acid catalysis that is surprisingly less developed.

A metal-free, photocatalyst-free, photochemical system was developed for the direct alkylation of thiophenols via electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes (KEDA = 145 M-1) between two reactants, N-hydroxyphthalimide esters as acceptors and thiophenol anions as donors, in the presence of a tertiary amine. The EDA complexes in the reaction system have a broad range of visible-light absorption (400-650 nm) and can trigger the reaction effectively under sunlight.

Salicylaldehyde is established as an efficient visible light photocatalyst for the first time. Compared to other simple aldehyde analogies, salicylaldehyde has a unique deprotonative red-shift from 324 to 417 nm and gives rise to the remarkable increase of fluorescence quantum from 0.0368 to 0.4632, thus enabling salicylaldehyde as a visible light (>400 nm) photocatalyst. The experimental investigations suggest that the reactive radical species are generated by sensitization of the substrates by the deprotonated salicylaldehyde through an energy-transfer pathway. Consequently, the C-C cleaving alkylation reactions of N-hydroxyphthalimide esters proceed smoothly in the presence of as low as 1 mol % of salicylaldehyde under the visible-light irradiation, affording desired alkylation products with up to 99% yields. Application in visible-light induced aerobic oxidation of N-alkylpyridinium salts is also reported.

An alternative approach is described for the oxidation of organosulfides to the corresponding organosulfones by using trifluoromethyl 3-oxo-1λ 3,2-benziodoxole-1(3 H)-carboxylate as an oxidant. The oxidation of the sulfides was performed by using 2.4 equivalents of the oxidant in refluxing acetonitrile. The oxidation products were isolated in good to excellent yields.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A catalytic amount of zinc chloride in combination with a palladium catalyst ligated by a monodentate phosphine allows the coupling of aryl and alkyl thiols with aryl bromides in high yields. The addition of zinc chloride to a palladium catalyst system that reportedly failed to promote sulfide formation allows this once ineffective catalyst system to provide the sulfide product in good yield. This paper describes a high-yielding and general monodentate phosphine-ligated palladium catalyst for biaryl and alkyl aryl sulfide formation.
Radical Addition to Isonitriles: A Route to Polyfunctionalized Alkenes through a Novel Three-Component Radical Cascade Reaction

, p. 2763 - 2772 (2007/10/03)
The reaction of aromatic disulfides, alkynes, and isonitriles under photolytic conditions affords polyfunctionalized alkenes - β-arylthio-substituted acrylamides or acrylonitriles - in fair yields through a novel three-component radical cascade reaction. The procedure entails addition of a sulfanyl radical to the alkyne followed by attack of the resulting vinyl radical to the isonitrile. A fast reaction, e.g., scavenging by a nitro derivative or β-fragmentation, is necessary in order to trap the final imidoyl radical, since addition of vinyl radicals to isonitriles seems to be a reversible process. The stereochemistry of the reaction is discussed, particularly with respect to the stereochemical outcome of related hydrogen abstraction reactions by the same vinyl radicals. The lower or even inverted preference for either geometrical isomer observed in our cases with respect to that encountered in hydrogen abstraction reactions is explained in terms of transition-state interactions and/or isomerization of the final imidoyl radical. The latter possibility is supported by semiempirical calculations, which show that the spin distribution in the imidoyl radical can allow rotation of the adjacent carbon - carbon double bond prior to β-fragmentation.
Carbon-sulfur bond-forming reductive elimination involving sp-, sp2-, and sp3-hybridized carbon. Mechanism, steric effects, and electronic effects on sulfide formation

Palladium thiolato complexes [(L)Pd(R)(SR')], within which L is a chelating ligand such as DPPE, DPPP, DPPBz, DPPF, or TRANSPHOS, R is a methyl, alkenyl, aryl, or alkynyl ligand, and R' is an aryl or alkyl group, were synthesized by substitution or proton-transfer reactions. All of these thiolato complexes were found to undergo carbon-sulfur bond-forming inductive elimination in high yields to form dialkyl sulfides, diaryl sulfides, alkyl aryl sulfides, alkyl alkenyl sulfides, and alkyl alkynyl sulfides. Reductive eliminations forming alkenyl alkyl sulfides and aryl alkyl sulfides were the fastest. Eliminations of alkynyl alkyl sulfides were slower, and elimination of dialkyl sulfide was the slowest. Thus the relative rates for sulfide elimination as a function of the hybridization of the palladium-bound carbon follow the trend sp2 > sp >> sp3. Rates of reductive elimination were faster for cis-chelating phosphine ligands with larger bite angles. Kinetic studies, along with results from radical trapping reactions, analysis of solvent effects; and analysis of complexes with chelating phosphines of varying rigidity, were conducted with [Pd(L)(S-tert-butyl)(Ar)] and [Pd(L)(S- tert-butyl)(Me)]. Carbon-sulfur bond-forming reductive eliminations involving both saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbyl groups proceed by an intramolecular, concerted mechanism. Systematic changes in the electronic properties of the thiolate and aryl groups showed that reductive elimination is the fastest for electron deficient aryl groups and electron rich arenethiolates, suggesting that the reaction follows a mechanism in which the thiolate acts as a nucleophile and the aryl group an electrophile. Studies with thiolate ligands and hydrocarbyl ligands of varying steric demands favor a migration mechanism involving coordination of the hydrocarbyl ligand in the transition state.
