- Base-Mediated Radical Borylation of Alkyl Sulfones
-
A practical and direct method was developed for the production of versatile alkyl boronate esters via transition metal-free borylation of primary and secondary alkyl sulfones. The key to the success of the strategy is the use of bis(neopentyl glycolato) diboron (B2neop2), with a stoichiometric amount of base as a promoter. The practicality and industrial potential of this protocol are highlighted by its wide functional group tolerance, the late-stage modification of complex compounds, no need for further transesterification, and operational simplicity. Radical clock, radical trap experiments, and EPR studies were conducted which show that the borylation process involves radical intermediates.

- Clarification on the reactivity of diaryl diselenides toward hexacyclohexyldilead under light
-
In this study, the reactivity of organochalcogen compounds toward a representative alkyl-lead bond compound under light was investigated in detail. Under light irradiation, the Cy-Pb bond of Cy6 Pb2 (Cy = cyclohexyl) undergoes homolytic cleavage to generate a cyclohexyl radical (Cy?). This radical can be successfully captured by diphenyl diselenide, which exhibits excellent carbon-radical-capturing ability. In the case of (PhS)2 and (PhTe)2, the yields of the corresponding cyclohexyl sulfides and tellurides were lower than that of (PhSe)2. This probably occurred due to the low carbon-radical-capturing ability of (PhS)2 and the high photosensitivity of the cyclohexyl-tellurium bond.

- IPr# - highly hindered, broadly applicable N-heterocyclic carbenes
-
IPr (IPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) represents the most important NHC (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) ligand throughout the field of homogeneous catalysis. Herein, we report the synthesis, catalytic activity, and full structural and electronic characterization of novel, sterically-bulky, easily-accessible NHC ligands based on the hash peralkylation concept, including IPr#, Np# and BIAN-IPr#. The new ligands have been commercialized in collaboration with Millipore Sigma: IPr#HCl, 915653; Np#HCl; 915912; BIAN-IPr#HCl, 916420, enabling broad access of the academic and industrial researchers to new ligands for reaction optimization and screening. In particular, the synthesis of IPr# hinges upon cost-effective, modular alkylation of aniline, an industrial chemical that is available in bulk. The generality of this approach in ligand design is demonstrated through facile synthesis of BIAN-IPr# and Np#, two ligands that differ in steric properties and N-wingtip arrangement. The broad activity in various cross-coupling reactions in an array of N-C, O-C, C-Cl, C-Br, C-S and C-H bond cross-couplings is demonstrated. The evaluation of steric, electron-donating and π-accepting properties as well as coordination chemistry to Au(i), Rh(i) and Pd(ii) is presented. Given the tremendous importance of NHC ligands in homogenous catalysis, we expect that this new class of NHCs will find rapid and widespread application.

- Ni(II) Precatalysts Enable Thioetherification of (Hetero)Aryl Halides and Tosylates and Tandem C?S/C?N Couplings
-
Ni-catalyzed C?S cross-coupling reactions have received less attention compared with other C-heteroatom couplings. Most reported examples comprise the thioetherification of most reactive aryl iodides with aromatic thiols. The use of C?O electrophiles in this context is almost uncharted. Here, we describe that preformed Ni(II) precatalysts of the type NiCl(allyl)(PMe2Ar’) (Ar’=terphenyl group) efficiently couple a wide range of (hetero)aryl halides, including challenging aryl chlorides, with a variety of aromatic and aliphatic thiols. Aryl and alkenyl tosylates are also well tolerated, demonstrating, for the first time, to be competent electrophilic partners in Ni-catalyzed C?S bond formation. The chemoselective functionalization of the C?I bond in the presence of a C?Cl bond allows for designing site-selective tandem C?S/C?N couplings. The formation of the two C-heteroatom bonds takes place in a single operation and represents a rare example of dual electrophile/nucleophile chemoselective process.

- Deprotonated Salicylaldehyde as Visible Light Photocatalyst
-
Salicylaldehyde is established as an efficient visible light photocatalyst for the first time. Compared to other simple aldehyde analogies, salicylaldehyde has a unique deprotonative red-shift from 324 to 417 nm and gives rise to the remarkable increase of fluorescence quantum from 0.0368 to 0.4632, thus enabling salicylaldehyde as a visible light (>400 nm) photocatalyst. The experimental investigations suggest that the reactive radical species are generated by sensitization of the substrates by the deprotonated salicylaldehyde through an energy-transfer pathway. Consequently, the C-C cleaving alkylation reactions of N-hydroxyphthalimide esters proceed smoothly in the presence of as low as 1 mol % of salicylaldehyde under the visible-light irradiation, affording desired alkylation products with up to 99% yields. Application in visible-light induced aerobic oxidation of N-alkylpyridinium salts is also reported.

- Nickel-Catalyzed Inter- and Intramolecular Aryl Thioether Metathesis by Reversible Arylation

A nickel-catalyzed aryl thioether metathesis has been developed to access high-value thioethers. 1,2-Bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane (dcype) is essential to promote this highly functional-group-tolerant reaction. Furthermore, synthetically challenging macrocycles could be obtained in good yield in an unusual example of ring-closing metathesis that does not involve alkene bonds. In-depth organometallic studies support a reversible Ni0/NiII pathway to product formation. Overall, this work not only provides a more sustainable alternative to previous catalytic systems based on Pd, but also presents new applications and mechanistic information that are highly relevant to the further development and application of unusual single-bond metathesis reactions.

- CuMoO4 Bimetallic Nanoparticles, An Efficient Catalyst for Room Temperature C?S Cross-Coupling of Thiols and Haloarenes
-
CuII catalyst is less efficient at room temperature for C?S cross-coupling. C?S cross-coupling by CuII catalyst at room temperature is not reported; however, doping of copper with molybdenum metal has been realized here to be more efficient for C?S cross-coupling in comparison to general CuII catalyst. The doped catalyst CuMoO4 nanoparticle is found to be more efficient than copper. The catalyst works under mild conditions without any ligand at room temperature and is recyclable and effective for a wide range of thiols and haloarenes (ArI, ArBr, ArF) from milligram to gram scale. The copper-based bimetallic catalyst is developed and recognized for C?S cross-coupling of haloarenes with alkyl and aryl thiols.

This aqueous catalytic system exhibited good functional group tolerance to a variety of sulfides and diazo esters. And the reaction mechanism was preliminarily proposed on the basis of designed reactions. Furthermore, the cleavage of C[sbnd]S bond followed by introducing a functional ester group to aromatic sulfides, may potentially be employed for the late stage functionalization (LSF) of organosulfur drug in the future.

- Synthesis and characterization of magnetic copper ferrite nanoparticles and their catalytic performance in one-pot odorless carbon-sulfur bond formation reactions
-
In this article, we have introduced catalytic application of copper ferrite nanoparticles (CuFe2O4) for one-pot odorless production of aryl alkyl thioethers using thiourea and alkyl bromides in wet polyethylene glycol as a green solvent. The catalyst was also successfully applied for one-pot synthesis of symmetrical diaryl trithiocarbonates via the reaction of sodium sulfide, carbon disulfide and aryl iodides under heterogeneous reaction condition. Magnetic copper ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized using iron (III) chloride and copper (II) chloride, and characterized using XRD, FT-IR, AAS, and TEM analysis. The catalyst was recycled using simple magnetic separation and reused for the five consecutive runs in the reaction of iodobenzene, thiourea and benzyl bromide without appreciable loss of activity.

- Iron-catalyzed cross-coupling of unactivated secondary alkyl thio ethers and sulfones with aryl grignard reagents
-
The first systematic investigation of unactivated aliphatic sulfur compounds as electrophiles in transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling are described. Initial studies focused on discerning the structural and electronic features of the organosulfur substrate that enable the challenging oxidative addition to the C(sp3)-S bond. Through extensive optimization efforts, an Fe(acac)3-catalyzed cross-coupling of unactivated alkyl aryl thio ethers with aryl Grignard reagents was realized in which a nitrogen "directing group" on the S-aryl moiety of the thio ether served a critical role in facilitating the oxidative addition step. In addition, alkyl phenyl sulfones were found to be effective electrophiles in the Fe(acac) 3-catalyzed cross-coupling with aryl Grignard reagents. For the latter class of electrophile, a thorough assessment of the various reaction parameters revealed a dramatic enhancement in reaction efficiency with an excess of TMEDA (8.0 equiv). The optimized reaction protocol was used to evaluate the scope of the method with respect to both the organomagnesium nucleophile and sulfone electrophile.

- CATALYTIC C-H BOND ACTIVATION FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF ETHERS AND THIOETHERS
-
Disclosed is a method for the transition metal-mediated oxidation of C-H bonds to form C-0 or C-S bonds. The methods are useful for the formation of ethers (R-OR') from alcohols, R'OH, and sp3 -hybridized C-H bonds in substrates, R-H. Aryl or heteroaryl acetates may also be used for C-H to C-OAr bond formation. The methods are also useful in the preparation of C-S bonds from acetyl-protected thiols, MeC(0)SR, and disulfides, RSSR. Advantageously, the methods minimize reaction steps, the handling of oxidized intermediates, and environmental impact.

- Synthesis of aryl thioethers through the N -chlorosuccinimide-promoted cross-coupling reaction of thiols with Grignard reagents
-
A convenient one-pot approach for the synthesis of aryl sulfides through the coupling of thiols with Grignard reagents in the presence of N-chlorosuccinimide is described. The sulfenylchlorides were formed when thiols were treated with N-chlorosuccinimide, and the resulting sulfenylchlorides were then directly reacted with Grignard reagents to provide aryl sulfides in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. Functional groups including ester, fluoro, and chloro are tolerated by the reaction conditions employed. It is important to note that this method has a short reaction time (30 min in total) and represents an alternative approach for the synthesis of aryl sulfides over the existing protocols.

- Efficient recyclable CuI-nanoparticle-catalyzed S-arylation of thiols with aryl halides on water under mild conditions
-
CuI nanoparticles efficiently catalyzed the C-S cross coupling of aryl and alkyl thiols with aryl halides in the absence of ligands on water under mild conditions. A wide range of diaryl sulfides and aryl alkyl sulfides are synthesized in good to excellent yields utilizing this protocol. This procedure is particularly noteworthy given its mild conditions, avoiding the undesired formation of disulfides through oxidation of thiols. The recovery and successful reutilization of the catalyst is described. Furthermore, the directed synthesis of bisarylated product is presented. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012.

- Catalytic enantioselective oxidation of bulky alkyl aryl thioethers with H2O2 over titanium-salan catalysts
-
A simple and efficient catalytic procedure for the oxidation of bulky (preferably aryl benzyl substituted) thioethers with hydrogen peroxide in good to high yields and enantioselectivities (up to 98.5%ee) is reported. The high optical yields are achieved in a tandem stereoconvergent enantioselective oxidation and kinetic resolution process. A reasonable balance between the sulfoxide yield and enantioselectivity could be found by varying the concentration and temperature. An improved synthesis of the titanium-salan catalysts for the preparation of a more stereoselective catalyst is reported.

- Experimental and theoretical investigation of the enantiomerization of Lithium α-tert-butylsulfonyl carbanion salts and the determination of their structures in solution and in the crystal
-
Dynamic NMR (DNMR) spectroscopy of [R1C(R2)SO 2R3]Li (R1, R2 = alkyl, phenyl; R3 = Ph, tBu, adamantyl, CEt3) in [D8]THF has shown that the S-tBu, S-adamantyl, and S-CEt3 derivatives have a significantly higher enantiomerization barrier than their S-Ph analogues. C α-S bond rotation is most likely the rate-determining step of the enantiomerization of the salts bearing a bulky group at the S atom and two substituents at the Cα atom. Ab initio calculations on [Me(Ph)- SO 2tBu]- gave information about the two Cα-S rotational barriers, which are dominated by steric effects. Cryoscopy of [R1C(R 2)SO2tBu]Li in THF at -108°C revealed the existence of monomers and dimers. X-ray crystal structure analysis of the monomers and dimers of [R1C(R2)SO2tBu]Li·L n (R1 = Me, Et, tBuCH2, PhCH2, tBu; R2 = Ph, L = THF, 12-crown-4, PMDTA) and [R1C(R 2)SO2Ph]Li·2diglyme [R1 = R2 = Me, Et; R1-R2 = (CH2)5] showed them to be O-Li contact ion pairs (CIPs). The monomers and dimers have a Cα-S conformation in which the lone-pair orbital at the Cα atom bisects the O-S-O angle and a significantly shortened Cα-S bond. The Cα atom of [R1C(R2)SO2R 3]Li·Ln (R1 = Ph; R3 = Ph, tBu) is planar, whereas the Cα atom of [R1C(R 2)SO2R3]Li·Ln (R1 = R2 = alkyl) is strongly pyramidalized in the case of R3 = Ph and most likely planar for R3 = tBu. Ab initio calculations on [MeC- (Me)SO2R]- gave a pyramidalized Cα atom for R = Me and a nearly planar one for R = CF3 and tBu. The [R1C(R 2)SO2-tBu]Li salts were characterized by 1H, 13C, and 6Li NMR spectroscopy. 1H{ 1H} and 6Li{1H} NOE experiments are in accordance with the existence of O-Li CIPs. 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy of [R1C(R2)SO2tBu]Li in [D 8]THF at low temperatures showed equilibrium mixtures of up to five different species being most likely monomeric and dimeric O-Li CIPs with different configurations. According to 7Li NMR spectroscopy, the addition of HMPA to [MeC(Ph)SO2tBu]Li in [D8]THF at low temperatures causes the formation of the separated ion pair [MeC(Ph)SO 2tBu]Li(HMPA)4.
