Coupling of thiols and aromatic halides promoted by diboron derived super electron donors

We have proven that pyridine-boryl complexes can be used as superelectron donors to promote the coupling of thiols and aromatic halides through a SRN1 mechanism. The reaction is efficient for a broad substrate scope, tolerating heterocycles including pyridines, enolizable or reducible functional groups. The method has been applied to intermediates in drug synthesis as well as interesting functionalized polythioethers through a controlled and consecutive intramolecular electron transfer process.

Nickel-Catalyzed Decarbonylative Thioetherification of Acyl Fluorides via C-F Bond Activation

Nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative thioetherification of acyl fluorides has been developed. This transformation allows an array of acyl fluorides to react with thiophenols. A wide range of functional groups are well tolerated and the corresponding sulfides can be obtained in good to excellent yields. This protocol provides the formation of diverse carbon-sulfur bonds via a highly efficient decarbonylative process.

Nickel-Catalyzed Thiolation of Aryl Halides and Heteroaryl Halides through Electrochemistry

Transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions are useful tools for synthesizing aryl sulfur compounds. However, conventional transition-metal-catalyzed thiolation of aryl bromides and chlorides typically requires the use of strong base under elevated reaction temperature. Herein, we report the first examples of nickel-catalyzed electrochemical thiolation of aryl bromides and chlorides in the absence of an external base at room temperature using undivided electrochemical cells.
