A copper-mediated, phenanthroline-directed highly ortho-selective C-H sulfenylation of phenols with diaryl disulfides proceeds to form the corresponding unsymmetrical diaryl sulfides in good yield. The key to success is the introduction of a phenanthroline directing group of the bidentate-chelating nature, which is easily attachable, detachable, and even recyclable. Moreover, the same strategy is applicable to the C-H selenation, giving the diaryl selenides with high efficiency and regioselectivity.

Sulfenyl fluorides are organic compounds of sulfur in formal oxidation state +2 with the formula R-S-F. Although the chloride, bromide, and iodide analogues have been extensively described in the literature, arenesulfenyl fluorides remain essentially unstudied. These structures have been implicated as putative intermediates in established processes to access polyfluorinated sulfur species; however, definitive and direct evidence of their existence has not been obtained, nor has a systematic understanding of their reactivity.

A new benzimidazole-based Cu(II) complex catalyzed site-selective sulfenylation of imidazo[1,2-]pyridines with benzyl/alkyl/allyl bromides and CS at 100 °C in DMF : HO is reported. The present methodology has been developed for the synthesis of 3-sulfenyl imidazo[1,2-]pyridines in good yields with a broad substrate scope. In this protocol, CS, commonly known as a non-polar small molecule bioregulator (SMB), is converted to valuable sulfenylated imidazo[1,2-]pyridine derivatives.

The palladium-catalysed regioselective C-H chalcogenation of benzoxazines with disulfides and diselenides in air has been described. In this protocol, palladium acetate serves as the catalyst in conjunction with copper as an oxidizing agent. Through this approach, a wide array of sulfenylation and selenylation reactions of benzomorpholines have been effected, yielding results ranging from good to excellent.

An iodophor-catalyzed direct disulfenylation of amino naphthalenes with aryl sulfonyl hydrazines in water was developed. A series of aryl sulfides were obtained in moderate to excellent yields. The advantages of this green protocol were the simple reaction conditions (metal-free, water as the solvent, under air), the odorless and easily available sulfur reagent, the broad substrate scope, and gram-scale synthesis.

In contrast to hypervalent iodine compounds, the chemistry of their sulfur analogues has been considerably less explored. Herein, we report the direct C-H bond thiolation of electron-rich heterocycles, arenes, and 1,3-dicarbonyls by dichlorosulfuranes under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies and density functional theory calculations suggest the radical chain mechanism of the disclosed transformation.
