Thioether ancillary ligands have been identified that can greatly accelerate the C-H alkenylation of O-, S-, and N-heteroarenes. Kinetic data suggest thioether-Pd-catalyzed reactions can be as much as 800× faster than classic ligandless systems. Furthermore, mechanistic studies revealed C-H bond cleavage as the turnover-limiting step, and that rate acceleration upon thioether coordination is correlated to a change from a neutral to a cationic pathway for this key step. The formation of a cationic, low-coordinate catalytic intermediate in these reactions may also account for unusual catalyst-controlled site selectivity wherein C-H alkenylation of five-atom heteroarenes can occur under electronic control with thioether ligands even when this necessarily involves reaction at a more hindered C-H bond. The thioether effect also enables short reaction times under mild conditions for many O-, S-, and N-heteroarenes (55 examples), including examples of late-stage drug derivatization.

The Lewis-acid catalyzed Michael-type addition of aromatic heterocyclic compounds, such as furans, indoles and thiophenes, to α,β-unsaturated ketones (including methyl vinyl ketone) was performed in mild conditions in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate and an alcohol.Rosethiophene was prepared in a synthesis involving a few steps. - Keywords: Michael addition / boron trifluoride etherate / but-3-ene-2-one / 3-oxoalkylation / rosethiophene

trans-4-(Phenylsulfinyl)-3-buten-2-one (1) was found to undergo a new versatile addition-elimination reaction with five-membered compounds such as furans, pyrroles, imidazole, pyrazole, and 6-(dimethylamino)fulvene to give an excellent yield of the corresponding trans-4-aryl-3-buten-2-ones (3).The thermal reaction of the propargyl ethers 7a,b prepared from 3a,b gave a single intramolecular Diels-Alder adduct, 8a,b, in 59percent and 38percent yields, respectively.Treatment of 7a,b with t-BuOK in refluxing tert-butyl alcohol afforded another type of Diels-Alder adduct, 10a,b, in almost quantitative yields.This bicycloannulation strategy was applied to a new synthesis of psoralen which is of current interest due to its unique photoreactivity with DNA.The acid-catalyzed reaction of sulfoxide 12, prepared from ethyl acatoacetate in high yield, with furan gave 13 in 78percent yield.The intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of the neopentyl acetal of 13 in the presence of Pd/C followed by acid hydrolysis afforded the tricyclic ketone 18 in 38percent yield.Baeyer-Villiger oxidation and dehydrogenation of 18 completed the synthesis of psoralen (11).Furthermore, hitherto unknown azapsoralen 20 was also synthesized by this method.
