Herein we demonstrate a synthetic protocol for the regioselective thiocyanation of corroles. To the best of our knowledge, thiocyanato appended corrole has never been reported earlier. The resulting thiocyanato appended corrole turned out to be a good corrole based precursor for the facile synthesis of thiol protected gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). The ligand system acts as a good bidentate framework and passivates the gold surface. A strong electronic interaction between the corrole and the gold nanoparticles is manifested by their unique photo physical properties and it also confirms that the binding through β-substitutions has a more pronounced effect even though the corrole rings are face-off to the gold surface.

An iodine-catalyzed method has been reported for efficient regioselective C-3 sulfenylation, selenylation, thiocyanation, and selenocyanation of -free 7-azaindoles using thiophenols, diselenides, potassium thiocyanates, and selenocyanates, respectively. This approach showcases high efficiency and remarkable versatility, facilitating the synthesis of diverse chalcogenated 7-azaindoles. Additionally, the sulfenylated derivatives have been further diversified to generate a new array of benzothiophene-fused 7-azaindole cores of pharmaceutical interest.

In this work, we report the synthesis and photocatalytic properties of -bis(-hexyl)-2-bromo-6-(-hexylamino)-1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic diimide photocatalyst, , in visible light. In the presence of air or oxidant, efficiently enables multiple photooxygenations of isoquinolines, thiocyanation of phenylimidazopyridines, functionalization of quinolinones by allowing regioselective installation of an SCN, SeCN, SPh, SePh, Cl, Br, or I group at the C-3 position, and isomerization of alkenes. Mechanistic investigations suggest an oxidative photoredox process for oxygenation and C-H functionalization, while isomerization is believed to proceed through a photosensitization pathway.

An efficient regioselective method to attach thiocyanato groups at the β-position of enol double bonds in sugar enol ethers using KSCN and potassium persulfate has been developed. The highly regioselective addition of the resulting sugar thiocyanate to electron rich species like terminal alkynes and benzynes under Pd catalysis generated C-2-thio acrylo/aryl nitrile glycals simultaneous introduction of thio and cyano groups into carbon-carbon triple bonds.

BODIPY(aryl)iodonium salts were readily accessible from the high-yielding reaction of BODIPY with iodoarenes or hydroxyl(tosyloxy)iodoarenes in the presence of -CPBA. The prepared BODIPY(aryl)iodonium salts bearing substituents of varied electronic nature were utilized for the direct syntheses of thiocyanate, azide, amine and acrylate functionalized BODIPYs and β,β'-bis-BODIPYs. The regioselective syntheses of α-piperidinyl and β-piperidinyl substituted BODIPYs were achieved through the reaction of BODIPY(aryl)iodonium salts with piperidine in the absence and presence of copper(I).

An unprecedented one-pot route to achieve highly regioselective 1-sulfur-functionalized 2-nitrogen-functionalized alkenes and 2-thiocyanate indolines from unsymmetrical ynamides (readily and generally available amides) using the commercially available inexpensive iodobenzene diacetate (PIDA) as the oxidant and potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) as the thiocyanate (SCN) source has been developed. The interconversion of thiocyanate (SCN) and isothiocyanate (NCS) groups simultaneously forms C-N and C-S bonds in this metal-free approach, while introducing important functional groups into homemade alkynes. A radical-chain mechanism, involving competing kinetically controlled chain transfer at the S atom and sterically-controlled chain transfer at the N atom of the thiocyanogen molecule in this mild approach, is proposed.
