A new series of compounds based on perbrominated disubstituted sulfonium derivatives of the -decaborate anion (-BuN)[2-BBrSR] (R = -Pr, -Pr, -Bu, -CH, -CH, -CH) was obtained, characterised by modern physicochemical methods of analysis. According to the results of an X-ray diffraction study, some of the anions and solvate molecules were disordered. The cations (-BuN) and anions [2-BBrSR] were associated via C-H…Br and H…H contacts. In addition, Br…Br interactions between anions were revealed. The role of these contacts was analysed in terms of Hirshfeld surface analysis, QTAIM theory and the NCI method using quantum chemical calculations. An increase in the size of the alkyl R moiety led to significant strengthening of the total energy of H…H interactions. In the case of R = --CH, a parallel mutual orientation of alkyl moieties was established that was similar to the packing of salts of fatty acids. The nature of C-H…Br and Br…Br interionic interactions was found to be attractive, in contrast to the repulsive nature of intermolecular Br…Br interactions.

Betulin, a bioactive triterpenoid derived from Betulaceae bark with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, holds great potential as a therapeutic agent. In this work, cationic sulfonium-modified betulin derivatives were synthesized to enhance their antibacterial efficacy for wound healing application. Mono- and dual S-alkylated sulfonium derivatives significantly outperformed betulin in antibacterial activity against pathogens such as S.

Traditional glycosylation methods using thioglycosides often require harsh conditions or expensive metal catalysts. This study presents a more sustainable alternative by employing copper, an earth-abundant catalyst. We developed diazo-based thioglycoside donors that, through copper catalysis, undergo intramolecular activation to form glycosyl sulfonium ions, leading to the generation of oxocarbenium ions.

The generation of difluorocarbene from difluoromethane bis(sulfonium ylide) through spin-forbidden excitation under irradiation with 450 nm blue light was reported. The formation of difluorocarbene was confirmed by its reaction with styrene derivatives for the generation of difluorocyclopropanation and insertion into RX-H bonds (X = O, S) for the generation of RXCFH. The spin-forbidden excitation mechanism for the formation of difluorocarbene from difluoromethane bis(sulfonium ylide) was supported by spectroscopic and kinetic studies as well as computational chemistry.

Benzofuran is an important backbone for molecules that make up several pharmaceuticals, herbicides/pesticides, and organo-electronics. An environmentally benign dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium tetrafluoroborate salt was used as an electrophile to induce cyclization of -alkynyl anisoles to form 2,3-disubstituted benzofurans. The cyclization is performed at ambient reaction conditions, only takes 12 hours to get excellent yields, and shows a high tolerance for various substituted alkynes.

Herein, we report the first bench-stable and nonhygroscopic monosubstituted allenyl sulfonium salt (ATT) synthesized from thianthrene and propargyl alcohol. We demonstrate its use in annulation chemistry to synthesize heterocycles, such as 2-hydroxy morpholine, 2-methyl quinoxalines, and benzodioxepinone derivatives, with an exocyclic double bond. The reagent is the first allenyl sulfonium salt that can undergo palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to form a C(sp)-C(sp) bond via Suzuki coupling and a C(sp)-C(sp) bond formation via reductive coupling.
