The site-selective C-H functionalization of arenes is of indisputable importance in organic chemistry. Herein, we have demonstrated an electrochemical regioselective oxidative cross-coupling towards the direct C(sp)-H sulfinylation of phenols with sulfides under mild reaction conditions. The designed methodology furnished aryl sulfoxides in good to moderate yields under exogenous metal and oxidant-free conditions. Moreover, the exploitation of traceless electrons to carry out the tandem site-selective oxidative aryl chalcogenation is the striking feature of this methodology.

Background: Dopamine plays a key role in several physiological functions such as motor control, learning and memory, and motivation and reward. The atypical dopamine transporter inhibitor S,S stereoisomer of 5-(((S)-((S)-(3-bromophenyl)(phenyl)methyl)sulfinyl)methyl)thiazole (CE-158) has been recently reported to promote behavioral flexibility and restore learning and memory in aged rats.

Methods: Adult male rats were i.

Sulfur(vi) fluoride exchange chemistry has been reported to be effective at synthesizing valuable sulfur(vi) functionalities through sequential nucleophilic additions, yet oxygen-based nucleophiles are limited in this approach to phenolic derivatives. Herein, we report a new sulfur(iv) fluoride exchange strategy to access synthetically challenging substituted sulfamate esters from alkyl alcohols and amines. We also report the development of a non-gaseous, sulfur(iv) fluoride exchange reagent, -methylimidazolium sulfinyl fluoride hexafluorophosphate (MISF).

The interrupted Pummerer reaction of alkynyl sulfoxides with phenols is disclosed. A wide range of benzo[]furans were efficiently synthesized through unexplored electrophilic activation of the electron-deficient alkynyl sulfinyl group. Based on the good availability of alkynyl sulfoxides, we successfully prepared various functionalized benzo[]furans from readily available alkynes, thiosulfonates, and phenols.

Institute of Medicinal Chemistry, School of Pharmacy, Shandong University, Ji'nan 250012, PR China. Electronic address:

Compounds 10 (ND-322) and 15 (ND-364) are potent selective inhibitors for gelatinases, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9). However, both of them are racemates. Herein we report facile synthesis of optically active (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of compounds 10 and 15.
