Ni-Catalyzed Borylation of Aryl Sulfoxides

A nickel/N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalytic system has been developed for the borylation of aryl sulfoxides with B2(neop)2 (neop=neopentyl glycolato). A wide range of aryl sulfoxides with different electronic and steric properties were converted into the corresponding arylboronic esters in good yields. The regioselective borylation of unsymmetric diaryl sulfoxides was also feasible leading to borylation of the sterically less encumbered aryl substituent. Competition experiments demonstrated that an electron-deficient aryl moiety reacts preferentially. The origin of the selectivity in the Ni-catalyzed borylation of electronically biased unsymmetrical diaryl sulfoxide lies in the oxidative addition step of the catalytic cycle, as oxidative addition of methoxyphenyl 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl sulfoxide to the Ni(0) complex occurs selectively to give the structurally characterized complex trans-[Ni(ICy)2(4-CF3-C6H4){(SO)-4-MeO-C6H4}] 4. For complex 5, the isomer trans-[Ni(ICy)2(C6H5)(OSC6H5)] 5-I was structurally characterized in which the phenyl sulfinyl ligand is bound via the oxygen atom to nickel. In solution, the complex trans-[Ni(ICy)2(C6H5)(OSC6H5)] 5-I is in equilibrium with the S-bonded isomer trans-[Ni(ICy)2(C6H5)(SOC6H5)] 5, as shown by NMR spectroscopy. DFT calculations reveal that these isomers are separated by a mere 0.3 kJ/mol (M06/def2-TZVP-level of theory) and connected via a transition state trans-[Ni(ICy)2(C6H5)(η2-{SO}-C6H5)], which lies only 10.8 kcal/mol above 5.

Redox-Neutral Synthesis of Selenoesters by Oxyarylation of Selenoalkynes under Mild Conditions

An approach for the mild synthesis of selenoesters starting from selenoalkynes through an acid-catalyzed, redox-neutral oxyarylation reaction is reported. Br?nsted acid activation of a selenoalkyne leads to a selenium-stabilized vinyl cation, which is cap

Synthesis of o-Aryloxy Triarylsulfonium Salts via Aryne Insertion into Diaryl Sulfoxides

The aryne insertion into "S-O" bond has been validated recently. This technology is elusively applied to the synthesis of thioethers. In contrast to the reported cases, the reaction described furnished o-aryloxy triarylsulfonium salts, in lieu of thioethe

Desymmetrization of prochiral diaryl sulfoxides by an asymmetric sulfoxide-magnesium exchange

The first desymmetrizations of prochiral diaryl sulfoxides 1 by an asymmetric sulfoxide-magnesium exchange reaction are reported. The respective substrate (1), iPr2Mg, and the dilithium salt of (S)-BINOL (which was prepared in situ) provided (S)-configured aryl isopropyl sulfoxides 2 in up to 91 % yield and with up to 91 % ee. (S)-BINOL was re-isolable in 98 % yield. Copyright

An ionic liquid-mediated expeditious route to the syntheses of diaryl sulfoxides

A fast and efficient protocol is proposed for the synthesis of diaryl sulfoxides in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloroaluminate, [bmim]Cl·AlCl3, N=0.67, by employing arenes and thionyl chloride. The ionic liquid plays a dual role of Lewis acid catalyst and solvent, under ambient conditions, offering good yields of the product. The influence of the Lewis acidity of the ionic liquid on the extent of conversion is studied.
