A by-product-catalyzed redox-neutral process has been established through tandem sulfenylation/deiodination/aromatization of cyclic alkenyl iodides with sulfonyl hydrazides. In the absence of external catalysts and additives a range of 4-iodo-1,2-dihydronaphthalenes reacted with sulfonyl hydrazides to give structurally diverse 2-naphthyl thioethers in good yields. Mechanistic studies showed that at an early stage sulfonyl hydrazides decomposed completely to thiosulfonates and disulfides and at a late stage the resulting thiosulfonates underwent tandem sulfenylation/deiodination/aromatization with 4-iodo-1,2-dihydronaphthalenes involving a [1,5]-sigmatropic hydrogen shift. Importantly, iodine was generated as a by-product from 4-iodo-1,2-dihydronaphthalenes upon heating and served as a catalyst for the decomposition of sulfonyl hydrazides and subsequent formation of 2-naphthyl thioethers.

ENOL THIOETHERS AS ENOL SUBSTITUTES. AN ALKYLATION SEQUENCE.

Ionic bromination of enol phenyl thiolethers forms predominantly to exclusively 2-(phenylthio)-3-bromo-1-alkenes, an enolonium equivalent. The allylic bromide participates in displacements with stabilized and nonstabilized nucleophiles. The ability to hydrolyze the enol thioethers to their corresponding ketones equates this sequence to an equivalence of an enolonium ion. The versatility of the sulfur in selective introduction of allylic hydroxyl and amino groups as well as the ability to directly replace the sulfur substituent by hydrogen or alkyl imparts special significance to this approach. The sequence is highly regio-and chemoselective. Applications include the synthesis of lanceol and bisabolene and the introduction of steroid side chains.
