A general and inexpensive protocol for the Cu-catalyzed C-S cross-coupling reaction between aryl halides and thiols

A cost effective and easily available CuI/DABCO catalytic system has been developed for C-S cross-coupling reaction. This method is extremely useful for the thioetherification of aryl and heteroaryl halides providing excellent yields and good chemoselectivity.

Generation of Thiyl Radicals from Air-Stable, Odorless Thiophenol Surrogates: Application to Visible-Light-Promoted C-S Cross-Coupling

The synthetic versatility of thiophenols is offset by their airsensitivity and foul odor. It is demonstrated that S-aryl isothiouronium salts can be used as precursors to thiyl radicals, extending the practical benefits of these air-stable, odorless salts from ionic to single electron manifolds. The isothiouronium salts are accessed via Ni-catalyzed crosscoupling of (hetero)aryl iodides and thiourea and are isolated as freeflowing solids following anion exchange. Judicious choice of a redox-innocent counteranion enables use of these convenient thiophenol surrogates in radical processes, as is exemplified by the synthesis of nonsymmetrical diaryl thioethers via light-promoted S-arylation.

Forging C?S(Se) Bonds by Nickel-catalyzed Decarbonylation of Carboxylic Acid and Cleavage of Aryl Dichalcogenides

A nickel-catalyzed decarbonylation of carboxylic acids cross-coupling protocol has been developed for the straightforward C?S(Se) bond formation. This reaction is promoted by a commercially-available, user-friendly, inexpensive, air and moisture-stable nickel precatalyst. Various carboxylic acids and a wide range of aryl dichalcogenide substrates were tolerated in this process which afforded products in good to excellent yields. In addition, the present reaction can be conducted on gram scale in good yield.

Exploration of the mechanism and scope of the CuI/DABCO catalysed C–S coupling reaction

A cost effective and easily available CuI/DABCO catalytic system has been developed for the C–S cross-coupling reaction. This method is extremely useful for the thioetherification of aryl and heteroaryl halides, providing excellent yields and good chemoselectivity. We have also explored the mechanism of the reaction using DFT studies.

Electrochemically Promoted Nickel-Catalyzed Carbon-Sulfur Bond Formation

This work describes a nickel-catalyzed Ullmann-type thiolation of aryl iodidesunder mild electrochemical conditions. The simple undivided cell with graphene/nickel foam electrode setups offers excellent substrate tolerance, affording aryl and alkyl sulfides in good chemical yields. Furthermore, the mechanism for this electrochemical cross-coupling reaction has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry.

An efficient protocol for the synthesis of thioethers via iron-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction and its mechanistic investigation

One of the most straightforward methods for the synthesis of diaryl sulfides is the transition metal catalyzed C–S coupling reaction. Herein we report a study on the iron-catalyzed protocol for cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides with thiols. Structurally diverse diaryl sulfides were prepared efficiently by using a catalyst system involving cheap and environment-friendly FeCl3 and non-toxic universal ligand L-proline. The reaction mechanism for the iron-catalyzed C–S coupling reaction was investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) methods on a model system. The calculations were performed using hybrid PBE1PBE functional in conjugation with the LANL-2DZ basis set. The key step involved in the mechanism is the formation of a reactant complex in which both reactants are electrostatically bound to Fe(III) proline complex catalyst. The elimination of HI occurs with a much lower TS energy (20.0 kcal/mol) than the uncatalyzed reaction (44.7 kcal/mol).

Merging Photoredox and Organometallic Catalysts in a Metal–Organic Framework Significantly Boosts Photocatalytic Activities

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been extensively used for single-site catalysis and light harvesting, but their application in multicomponent photocatalysis is unexplored. We report here the successful incorporation of an IrIII photoredox catalyst and a NiII cross-coupling catalyst into a stable Zr12 MOF, Zr12-Ir-Ni, to efficiently catalyze C?S bond formation between various aryl iodides and thiols. The proximity of the IrIII and NiII catalytic components to each other (ca. 0.6 nm) in Zr12-Ir-Ni greatly facilitates electron and thiol radical transfers from Ir to Ni centers to reach a turnover number of 38 500, an order of magnitude higher than that of its homogeneous counterpart. This work highlights the opportunity in merging photoredox and organometallic catalysts in MOFs to effect challenging organic transformations.

PHOTOCATALYST-FREE, LIGHT-INDUCED CARBON-SULFUR CROSS-COUPLING METHODS

In one aspect, the invention provides a method of promoting a carbon-sulfur bond forming reaction. In certain embodiments, the reaction comprises cross-coupling of a(n) (hetero)aryl halide with a thiol to form the carbon-sulfur bond, wherein the method is promoted by light irradiation in the absence of a photocatalyst. In other embodiments, the cross-coupling reaction can be promoted through visible light irradiation, including sunlight.

Cu(ii)-catalyzed sulfide construction: both aryl groups utilization of intermolecular and intramolecular diaryliodonium salt

A sulfur-iodine exchange protocol of diaryliodonium salts with inorganic sulfur salt was developed. Both aryl groups in the diaryliodonium salt were fully exerted in this transformation. Five- to eight-membered sulfur-containing heterocycles were achieved. Note that [1]benzothieno-[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (BTBT) (an organic field-effect transistor (OFET) material) and Zaltoprofen were efficiently established through this method.
