A visible-light-promoted S-H insertion reaction between thiols and α-diazoesters was developed. The reaction proceeded smoothly at room temperature with a broad substrate scope, affording various thioethers in moderate to excellent yields. The catalyst- A

Catalytic asymmetric thia-Sommelet-Hauser rearrangement of sulfonium ylides remains a great challenge due to its multistep reaction mechanism involving metal carbene formation, proton transfer, and [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. In particular, the key problem of such reactions is the differentiation of the enantiotopic lone pair electrons of sulfur, which generates the sulfonium ylide intermediate bearing chirality on the sulfur atom. With a modified chiral bisoxazoline ligand, we developed a Cu(I)- catalyzed asymmetric thia-Sommelet-Hauser rearrangement with good to excellent enantioselectivities. Mechanistic studies provide insights into the details of the reaction mechanism.

Heme is an abundant and widely existed cofactor for a variety of metalloenzymes, whose broader use is generally impeded by its high instability and poor solubility. Here we report an environment-benign and efficient strategy for the sulfonium ylide formation and subsequent C[sbnd]S bond cleavage of aromatic isopropyl sulfides, which was catalyzed by hemin in assistance of Triton X-100. This aqueous catalytic system exhibited good functional group tolerance to a variety of sulfides and diazo esters. And the reaction mechanism was preliminarily proposed on the basis of designed reactions. Furthermore, the cleavage of C[sbnd]S bond followed by introducing a functional ester group to aromatic sulfides, may potentially be employed for the late stage functionalization (LSF) of organosulfur drug in the future.
