Organophosphonium salts containing C(sp3)?+P bonds are among the most utilized reagents in organic synthesis for constructing C?C double bonds. However, their use as C-selective electrophilic groups is rare. Here, we explore an efficient and general transition-metal-free method for sequential chemo- and regioselective C?H and C(sp3)?+P bond functionalizations. In the present study, C?H alkylation resulting in the synthesis of benzhydryl triarylphosphonium salts was achieved by one-pot, four-component cross-coupling reactions of simple and commercially available starting materials. The utility of the resulting phosphonium salt building blocks was demonstrated by the chemoselective post-functionalization of benzylic C(sp3)?+PPh3 groups to achieve aminations, thiolations, and arylations. In this way, benzhydrylamines, benzhydrylthioethers, and triarylmethanes, structural motifs that are present in many pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, are readily accessed. These include the synthesis of two anticancer agents from simple materials in only two to three steps. Additionally, a protocol for late-stage functionalization of bioactive drugs has been developed using benzhydrylphosphonium salts. This new approach should provide novel transformations for application in both academic and pharmaceutical research.

A series of new (R)-1-(2-diarylmethylthio/sulfinyl)ethyl-piperidine-3-carboxylic acid hydrochlorides 5a-d/6a-d and (R)-1-(3-diarylmethylthio)propyl-piperidine-3-carboxylic acid hydrochlorides 5′a-d were synthesized and evaluated as γ-aminobutyric acid uptake inhibitors through cultured cell lines expressing mouse GAT1. Biological screening results demonstrated that the compounds 6a-d with diarylmethylsulfinyl ethyl side chain show more potent GAT1 inhibitory activities than 5a-d/5′a-d with diarylmethylthio ethyl/propyl moieties. Some of them, such as 6a, exhibited excellent inhibitions of [3H]-GABA uptake in cultured cells, which is 496-fold higher than (R)-nipecotic acid and 11.5 times less than tiagabine. The synthesis and structure-activity relationships are discussed.
