Decatungstate-catalyzed radical disulfuration through direct C-H functionalization for the preparation of unsymmetrical disulfides.

ABSTRACT: Unsymmetrical disulfides are widely found in the areas of food chemistry, pharmaceutical industry, chemical biology and polymer science. Due the importance of such disulfides in various fields, general methods for the nondirected intermolecular disulfuration of C-H bonds are highly desirable. In this work, the conversion of aliphatic C(sp³)-H bonds and aldehydic C(sp²)-H bonds into the corresponding C-SS bonds with tetrasulfides (RSSSSR) as radical disulfuration reagents is reported. The decatungstate anion ([W₁₀O₃₂]^4-) as photocatalyst is used for C-radical generation via intermolecular hydrogen atom transfer in combination with cheap sodium persulfate (Na₂S₂O₈) as oxidant. Herein a series of valuable acyl alkyl disulfides, important precursors for the generation of RSS-anions, and unsymmetrical dialkyl disulfides are synthesized using this direct approach. To demonstrate the potential of the method for late-stage functionalization, approved drugs and natural products were successfully C-H functionalized.

Efficient preparation of unsymmetrical disulfides by nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling strategy.

Project description:Disulfides are widely found in natural products and find a wide range of applications in life sciences, materials chemistry and other fields. The preparation of disulfides mainly rely on oxidative couplings of two sulfur containing compounds. This strategy has many side reactions and other shortcomings. Herein, we describe the reductive nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of unactivated alkyl bromides with symmetrical alkyl- and aryltetrasulfides to form alkyl-alkyl and aryl-alkyl unsymmetrical disulfides. This approach for disulfide synthesis is practical, relies on easily available, unfunctionalized substrates, and is scalable. We investigated the mechanism of this transformation and found that the tetrasulfide compound does not selectively break the central S-S bond, but regio-selectively generates trisulfide intermediates.

Synthesis of Unsymmetrical 2,6-Diarylanilines by Palladium-Catalyzed C-H Bond Functionalization Methodology.

Project description:3,5-Dimethylpyrazole was employed as a monodentate directing group for palladium-catalyzed ortho-sp2 C-H arylation with aryl iodides. The reaction shows good functional group tolerance and outstanding selectivity for mono- ortho-arylation. Ozonolysis of ortho-arylated arylpyrazoles gave acylated biphenylamines that were further arylated to afford unsymmetrically substituted 2,6-diarylacetanilides.

Synthesis and Biological Activity of Unsymmetrical Monoterpenylhetaryl Disulfides.

Project description:New unsymmetrical monoterpenylhetaryl disulfides based on heterocyclic disulfides and monoterpene thiols were synthesized for the first time in 48-88% yields. Hydrolysis of disulfides with fragments of methyl esters of 2-mercaptonicotinic acid was carried out in 73-95% yields. The obtained compounds were evaluated for antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal activity, cytotoxicity and mutagenicity.

Atom-Economical Ni-Catalyzed Diborylative Cyclization of Enynes: Preparation of Unsymmetrical Diboronates.

Project description:We report a Ni-catalyzed diborylative cyclization of enynes that affords carbo- and heterocycles containing both alkyl- and alkenylboronates. The reaction is fully atom-economical, shows a broad scope, and employs a powerful and inexpensive catalytic Ni-based system. The reaction mechanism seems to involve activation of the enyne by Ni(0) through oxidative cyclometalation of the enyne prior to diboron reagent activation. An unprecedented dinuclear bis(organometallic) Ni(I) intermediate complex was isolated.

Palladium-catalyzed direct C-H functionalization of benzoquinone.

Project description:A direct Pd-catalyzed C-H functionalization of benzoquinone (BQ) can be controlled to give either mono- or disubstituted BQ, including the installation of two different groups in a one-pot procedure. BQ can now be directly functionalized with aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, and cycloalkene groups and, moreover, the reaction is conducted in environmentally benign water or acetone as solvents.

Vinyl Azides as Radical Acceptors in the Vitamin B<sub>12</sub>-Catalyzed Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Ketones.

Project description:Vinyl azides are very reactive species and as such are useful building blocks, in particular, in the synthesis of N-heterocycles. They can also serve as precursors of ketones. These form in reactions of vinyl azides with nucleophiles or radicals. We have found, however, that under light irradiation vitamin B12 catalyzes the reaction of vinyl azides with electrophiles to afford unsymmetrical carbonyl compounds in decent yields. Mechanistic studies revealed that alkyl radicals are key intermediates in this transformation.

Silver-catalyzed direct thiolation of quinones by activation of aryl disulfides to synthesize quinonyl aryl thioethers.

Project description:A silver-catalyzed coupling reaction of quinones with aryl disulfides for the synthesis of quinonyl aryl thioethers is described. In the presence of AgOAc (0.2 equiv)/dppp (0.24 equiv) as the catalyst, (NH4)2S2O8 (3.0 equiv) as the oxidant, and Bu4NBF4 (1.0 equiv) as the additive, the reaction is simple, provides high yield (up to 88% yield), and possesses a broad substrate scope. The reaction is believed to proceed via direct activation of disulfides evidenced by observation of a metathesis reaction between two different disulfides placed together under the reaction conditions and (13)C NMR spectroscopy analysis.

Direct Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Dithioacetals.

Project description:Dithioacetals are a frequently used motif in synthetic organic chemistry and have recently seen increasing attention as structural motif in promising antiviral agents against plant pathogens. Most existing reports, however, only discuss symmetrical dithioacetals. Examples of mixed dithioacetals are scarce and no general method for the selective synthesis of these compounds exists. Herein, a synthetically simple general one-step protocol was developed for the synthesis of a broad range of unsymmetrical dithioacetals consisting of one aromatic and one aliphatic thiol moiety from the corresponding aldehyde/thiol mixture. The mixed S,S-acetals were obtained in high yields, and a great variety of functional groups was tolerated. Kinetic control enabled an excellent selectivity in regard to the unsymmetrical dithioacetal.

Decatungstate as Direct Hydrogen Atom Transfer Photocatalyst for SOMOphilic Alkynylation.

Project description:A versatile approach for the alkynylation of a variety of aliphatic hydrogen donors, including alkanes, is reported. We used tetrabutylammonium decatungstate as photocatalyst to generate organoradicals from C-H/Si-H bonds via hydrogen atom transfer. The latter intermediates underwent SOMOphilic alkynylation by methanesulfonyl alkynes to afford internal alkynes upon loss of a sulfonyl radical. The effect of different radicofugal groups on the reaction outcome was evaluated and rationalized via a combined experimental and computational approach.

Direct Dehydrogenative Access to Unsymmetrical Phenones.

Project description:The first non-directed dehydrogenative phenone coupling method of methylarenes with aromatic C-H bonds, displaying a large substrate scope, is herein reported. This reaction represents a far more direct atom- and step-efficient alternative to the classical Friedel-Crafts or Suzuki-Miyaura derived acylation reactions. The method can be carried out on a gram scale and was successfully applied to the synthesis of several Ketoprofen drug analogues.
