Aerobic Copper(II)-catalyzed synthesis of β-hydroxysulfides and selenides from alkenes with disulfides and diselenides

A copper-catalyzed hydroxysulfenylation of alkenes was achieved using disulfides in the presence of n-Bu4NI and H2O. The procedure smoothly proceeded under air atmosphere, and the corresponding β-hydroxysulfides were obtained with regio- and anti-selectivity in good yields. Furthermore, a reaction using diselenides effectively produced the expected β-hydroxyselenides. These reactions could use both chalcogenide groups on dichalcogenides. Further the procedure also worked for hydrosulfenylation using thiols.

Metal-Free Chlorothiolation of Alkenes Using HCl and Sulfoxides

We report a novel method for the chlorothiolation of alkenes using HCl and sulfoxides to achieve the 1,2-difunctionalization of unactivated alkenes. The combination of our new HCl reagent (HCl/DMPU) with sulfoxides forms a unique chlorothiolation system.

NH4I-mediated three-component coupling reaction: Metal-free synthesis of β-alkoxy methyl sulfides from DMSO, alcohols, and styrenes

A novel synthesis recipe for β-alkoxy methyl sulfides was developed via NH4I-mediated three-component oxysulfenylation reaction of styrenes with DMSO and alcohols. This method features simple operation and readily available starting materials, and it provides an alternative sulfenylating agent generated from DMSO for oxysulfenylation reactions.
