We report a novel rhodium-catalyzed rearrangement involving N-substituted 2-thiopyridones and diazoesters. This reaction proceeds through the rhodium-catalyzed formation of sulfur ylides, followed by a direct C-N bond cleavage to achieve N-to-C 1,4-pyridyl migration. The protocol can be used to construct various thiopyridines possessing tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenters in moderate to excellent yields, which expands the transformation pattern of sulfur ylide intermediates in rearrangement reactions.

Reactions of cyclic thioureas (1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-thione and 1,3-dimethylimidazolidin-2-thione) and ureas (1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-one and 1,3-dimethylimidazolidin-2-one) with an isolable dialkylsilylene were examined. In these reactions, cyclic thioureas served as sulfur and NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) sources, and the corresponding silanethione and NHC-derived products formed via silanethione-NHC complexes. Reactions of cyclic ureas with the silylene afforded a new NHC and an isolable azomethine ylide.

A novel study on the hypervalent iodine-mediated polyfluoroalkylation of sulfoxonium ylides was developed. Sulfoxonium ylides, known for their versatility and stability, are promising substrates for numerous transformations in synthetic chemistry. This report demonstrates the successful derivatization of sulfoxonium ylides with trifluoroethyl or tetrafluoropropyl groups, and provides valuable insights into the scope and limitations of this approach.

An unexpected cascade reaction of enyne-amides with sulfur-ylides has been developed. This cascade reaction involves cycloisomerization, dearomatic cyclopropanation, ring-opening rearomatization, and subsequent cyclopropanation, differing from the common [2 + n] cyclization of enyne-amides. A variety of (spirocyclopropane)dihydrofuran derivatives have been efficiently and conveniently synthesized in a single vessel, exhibiting excellent diastereoselectivity and good functional group tolerance.

A novel annulation reaction of amidines with sulfur ylides and nitrobenzenes has been developed, affording various novel 4-hydroxy-5-phenylaminoimidazoles in moderate to excellent yields. The 4-hydroxy-5-phenylaminoimidazoles have been further converted into α-ketoamide and imidazol-4-imine derivatives. Moreover, a plausible mechanism for this multicomponent reaction is proposed.

Article Synopsis
- The article presents the first successful creation of SF-ynamides, which are multifunctional compounds incorporating a pentafluorosulfanyl group.
- * The synthesis involves a two-step process: first, a radical reaction adds the SF group to different terminal ynamides, followed by removing a chlorine atom.
- * Various chemical reactions can readily modify these newly formed SF-ynamides, demonstrating their potential for diverse applications in organic chemistry.
