Primary sulfonamide as a coupling partner: Copper(I)-catalyzed regioselective cross-coupling of 2-nitro benzenesulfonamides with thiol through the cleavage of Ar–SO2NH2 bonds

In this article, we have presented a novel and efficient method for the direct synthesis of unsymmetrical sulfides through the copper(I)-catalyzed cross-coupling of 2-nitro benzenesulfonamides with thiols in the presence of catalytic amount of CuI in DMF as solvent at 100 °C. In addition, the products were obtained in high to excellent yields. More importantly, the novel system showed the primary 2-nitro benzenesulfonamides as a new coupling partner and regioselectively promoted C–S bond-forming transformations through the cleavage of Ar–SO2NH2 bonds.

C-S cross-coupling of aryl halides with alkyl thiols catalyzed by in-situ generated nickel(II) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes

The C-S cross-coupling of aryl halides with alkyl thiols catalyzed by in-situ generated Ni (II) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes is investigated. Good to excellent yields can be obtained for a variety of aryl halides when using 5 mol% of the Ni (II)-NHC catalyst and 1.5 eq. of KOtBu. Both the electronic and steric effects of the NHC ligands on the catalytic performance of Ni (II)-NHC, as well as the electronic effects of aryl halides on coupling reactivity are examined. The mechanism for Ni (II)-NHC catalyzed coupling reactions is also discussed.

Iridium and phosphine promoted C-F bond activation: The C-S cross-coupling of aryl fluorides with diaryl disulfides to synthesize thioethers

Carbon-fluorine bond is the strongest known single bond to carbon and proved very difficult to cleave. An iridium and phosphine promoted C-F bond activation was developed, for the first time achieving the C-S cross-coupling reaction of disulfides with aryl fluorides using iridium complex. The corresponding monoarylthiolation products were obtained at moderate to good yields. Thus, it represents a new method for the synthesis of aryl sulfides through C-F bond activation.

Direct cross-coupling access to diverse aromatic sulfide: Palladium-catalyzed double C-S bond construction using Na2S 2O3 as a sulfurating reagent

The Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl halides, alkyl halides, and Na 2S2O3·5H2O to deliver aromatic thioethers is described. Pyridine, furan, thiophene, benzofuran, benzoxazole, benzothiophene, benzothiazole, and pyrazine are all amenable to this protocol. The odorless and stable solid Na2S2O 3·5H2O was used as a convenient and environmentally friendly source of sulfur. Pd-catalyzed cross-couplings without thiols or thiophenols to build C-S bonds have not previously been achieved, which renders our observation more striking.

Chemistry of Sulfenic Acids. 7. Reason for the High Reactivity of Sulfenic Acids. Stabilization by Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding and Electronegativity Effects

It is proposed that the reason sulfenic acids (RSOH) are so reactive and usually not isolated or even detected is that they form thiosulfinates (RS(O)SR) so readily.This is a consequence of the sulfenic acid hydrogen-bonded dimer, 1, which lowers the energy of activation for thiosulfinate formation.The stability of the few sulfenic acids that have been isolated can be explained in terms of steric, electronic, and intramolecular hydrogen-bonding effects which prevent dimer formation.The importance of these effects on the stability of simple unstable sulfenic acids was demonstrated by flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) and the thiosulfinate/vinyl sulfoxide ratio.A novel, high yield, rearrangement of sulfenic acid 19f to 1,3-benzothiazine 26 was observed.

149. Notizen zur Synthese von 2-Aminophenylsulfonen

Syntheses of the alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl 2-aminophenyl sulfones 10 were achieved by oxidation of the corresponding 2-nitrophenyl sulfides 7 to the 2-nitrophenyl sulfones 9 followed by ethanolic Bechamp-reduction.The sulfides 7 in turn were obtained by either reactions of 2-nitro-thiophenol (8) with the appropriate alkyl and cycloalkyl halides or of 2-chloro-nitrobenzene (5) with the relevant thiols.Condensation of 2-nitrobenzenesulfinic acid (3) with bromoacetic acid in aqueous alkaline solution led - presumably via 2-nitrophenylsulfonylacetic acid (4) - to methyl2-nitrophenyl sulfone (1), reduction of which gave 2-aminophenyl methyl sulfone (2).Treatment of 2-aminothiophenol (11) with t-butyl alcohol in aqueous sulfuric acid gave 2-aminophenyl t-butyl sulfide (12), which was acetylated to o-t-butylthio-acetanilide (13).Oxidation of the latter to o-t-butylsulfonyl-acetanilide (14) followed by hydrolysis led to 2-aminophenyl t-butyl sulfone (15).
