- Fluorium-Initiated Dealkylative Cyanation of Thioethers to Thiocyanates
-
Thioethers are converted to thiocyanates via fluorium-initiated dealkylative cyanation. Selectfluor is used as the oxidant, and trimethylsilyl cyanide is used as the cyanation reagent. The well-streamlined procedure is user-friendly, operationally simple, and step-economical. The current mechanistic studies show that the sulfur radical cation and cyano radical are both involved. They combine to deliver cyanosulfonium, an intermediate toward thiocyanate after dealkylation. Alternatively, a nucleophilic mechanism is also possible. Our dealkyaltive cyanation is also efficient in synthesizing thiocyanates with strongly electrophilic functionalities.

- Direct Photocatalytic S-H Bond Cyanation with Green cN Source
-
Herein we report a novel C-S bond cleavage and reconstruction strategy for the synthesis of thiocyanates through direct photocatalytic S-H bond cyanation from thiols and inorganic thiocyanate salts. In our strategy, the unprecedented example of cutting off C-S bond of SCN- to deliver the green CN sources is demonstrated. This transformation features nontoxic and inexpensive CN sources, available starting materials, metal-/base-/ligand-/peroxide-free, high step economy and mild conditions. It leads to the construction of various thiocyanates and some medicinally and biologically active thiocyanate-containing molecules.

- Preparation method for thiocyanide compound
-
The invention discloses a preparation method for a thiocyanide compound. The preparation method comprises the following steps: taking a sulfhydryl compound, thiocyanate as raw materials, taking rose-bengal, eosine Y or eosin B as a catalyst, performing illumination, generating a thiocyanide compound after the illumination reaction. According to the preparation method provided by the invention, thiocyanide is decomposed into thiocyanate ions; the sulfhydryl compound generates sulfhydryl radical under the action of light and the catalyst, and the sulfhydryl radical is used for attacking carbon atoms in thiocyanate ions to obtain a intermediate; sulfide is removed from the intermediate to obtain the thiocyanide compound. The rose-bengal, the eosine Y or the eosin B used by the method containno heavy metal ion, and the adverse effect on the performance of the thiocyanide compound by the heavy metal ion residue is avoided; in addition, the catalyst is easily removed, so that a favorable condition is provided for the preparation of the thiocyanide compound with higher purity.

- Chalcogen containing heterocyclic scaffolds: New hybrids with antitumoral activity
-
In this work, 27 novel hybrid derivatives containing diverse substituents with chalcogen atoms (selenium or sulfur) and several active heterocyclic scaffolds have been synthesized. Compounds were tested against two human cancer cells lines (MCF7 and PC-3) and a normal human mammary epithelial cell line (184B5) in order to determine their activity and selectivity against malignant cells. Ten compounds showed GI50values below 10?μM in at least one of the cancer cell lines and six of them exhibited a selectivity index higher than 9. In general, selenium-containing compounds were more active than their corresponding sulfur analogs but we found some thiocyanate derivatives with comparable or higher activity and selectivity. Among the different substituents, the seleno- and thio-cyanate groups showed the most promising results. On the basis of their potent activity and high selectivity index, compounds 7e and 8f (containing a thiocyanate and a selenocyanate group, respectively) were selected for further biological evaluation. Both the compounds induced caspase-dependent cell death and cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase. In addition, these compounds do not violate any of the Lipinski's Rule of Five and thus possess good potential to become drugs, compound 7e being particularly promising.

- Dihalo(imidazolium)sulfuranes: A Versatile Platform for the Synthesis of New Electrophilic Group-Transfer Reagents
-
The syntheses of imidazolium thiocyanates and imidazolium thioalkynes from dihalo(imidazolium) sulfuranes are reported and their reactivities as CN+ and R-CC+ synthons evaluated, respectively. The easy and scalable preparation of these electrophilic reagents, their operationally simple handling, broad substrate scope, and functional group tolerance clearly illustrate the potential of these species to become a reference for the direct electrophilic cyanation and alkynylation of organic substrates.

- General and practical formation of thiocyanates from thiols
-
A new method for the cyanation of thiols and disulfides using cyanobenziodoxol(on)e hypervalent iodine reagents is described. Both aliphatic and aromatic thiocyanates can be accessed in good yields in a few minutes at room temperature starting from a broad range of thiols with high chemioselectivity. The complete conversion of disulfides to thiocyanates was also possible. Preliminary computational studies indicated a low energy concerted transition state for the cyanation of the thiolate anion or radical. The developed thiocyanate synthesis has broad potential for various applications in synthetic chemistry, chemical biology and materials science.

- Copper-catalyzed cyanation of disulfides by azobisisobutyronitrile leading to thiocyanates
-
The copper-catalyzed cyanation of disulfides by azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was developed, leading to thiocyanates in moderate to good yields. This procedure tolerates a series of functional groups, such as chloro, nitro, methyl and methoxycarbonyl in the phenyl ring of disulfides. Notably, it enables the use of two ArS units in (ArS)2. CuI was found to be essential for the in situ formation of cyanide anions. This journal is

- Quantitative gas-solid reactions with ClCN and BrCN: Synthesis of cyanamides, cyanates, thiocyanates, and their derivatives
-
Gas-solid reaction techniques allow quantitative cyanations with ClCN and BrCN. Three primary and four secondary cyanamides, a cyanimide, four cyanates, and four thiocyanates were all prepared as solids in 100% yield from solid anilines, benzimidazoles, imides, phenolates, and thiolates, respectively. Intramolecular solid-state reactions of cyanated o-aminophenol and of cyanated hydrazides gave heterocyclic compounds. When comparable reactions were performed in solution the reported product yields were considerably less than 100% in all cases. The reasons for the success of the environmentally benign solid-state syntheses are discussed in terms of phase rebuilding, phase transformation, and crystal disintegration. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) of selected systems indicates the occurrence of long-range molecular movements which are governed by the crystal packing. This is evident from the obvious correlations between the molecular movements and the known crystal packing data. A new type of geometric surface feature, a rectangular and a rhombic depression which resembles a swimming-pool basin, was found in the cyanation of o-aminophenol and benzohydrazide.

- Electrophilic cyanations. I. Synthesis of thiocyanato-heteroarenes and tosylheteroarenes from mercapto-heteroarenes using p-toluenesulfonyl cyanide
-
Mercaptoheteroarenes (1) underwent electrophilic cyanation with p-toluenesulfonyl cyanide (TsCN) in THF in the presence of NaH to give the corresponding thiocyanatoheteroarenes (2) in moderate to good yields. In DMF, tosylheteroarenes (4) were formed by substitution with p-toluenesulfinate ion through thiocyanatoheteroarenes (2).
