The difunctionalization of alkenes using aryl thianthrenium salts as the aryl sources has been reported sporadically. However, the four-component difunctionalization of alkenes on the basis of aryl thianthrenium salts has not been reported thus far and still remains a challenge. Herein, a visible light/copper catalysis-enabled four-component reaction of aryl thianthrenium salts, DABCO·(SO), alkenes, and TMSN is presented, which affords a facile approach to β-azidosulfones in good yields with broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance. This strategy indirectly realizes the method for the synthesis of β-azidosulfones through site-selective aryl C-H bond functionalization and alkene difunctionalization. This developed method is an important complement to thianthrenium salts chemistry.

Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylative Sonogashira Coupling of Aliphatic Alkynes and Aryl Thianthrenium Salts to Alkynones and Furanones.

Org Lett

Leibniz-Institut für Katalyse e.V., Albert-Einstein-Straße 29a, 18059 Rostock, Germany.

Herein, we developed a mild and efficient palladium-catalyzed carbonylative Sonogashira coupling of aryl thianthrenium salts with aliphatic alkynes and benzyl acetylene toward alkynones and furanones. Various desired products were prepared in good yields with broad functional group tolerance including the bromide group. In the case of using benzyl acetylene, the corresponding furanones can be obtained in good yields under the same conditions with two molecules of CO inserted.

Nickel-catalyzed silylation of aryl thianthrenium salts with silylzinc pivalates.

Chem Commun (Camb)

Key Laboratory of Organic Synthesis of Jiangsu Province, MOE Key Laboratory of Geriatric Diseases and Immunology, Suzhou Key Laboratory of Pathogen Bioscience and Anti-infective Medicine, College of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, Soochow University, 215123 Suzhou, China.

A nickel-catalyzed C-S silylation of aryl thianthrenium salts with salt-stabilized silylzinc pivalates is disclosed, thus allowing us to rapidly incorporate silyl motifs into aromatics in a site- and chemoselective fashion. This method is distinguished by its ample scope and facile derivatizations of the aryl silanes for increasing functional molecular complexity. Moreover, modular installation of silyl groups into pharmaceutically active molecules provides a new platform for the synthesis of sila-drugs.

Meta-Dimethylation of Arenes via Catellani Reaction from Aryl Thianthrenium Salts.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung, Kaiser-Wilhelm-Platz 1, D-45470, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany.

Here we report the reaction of aryl thianthrenium salts that allows selective functionalization of the meta position of arenes. The combination of a site-selective thianthrenation with a Catellani reaction provides access to 3,5-dimethylated arenes. The developed reaction is complementary to the previously discovered reductive ipso-alkylation of aryl thianthrenium salts and extends the possibilities for late-stage methylation of arenes with a single aryl thianthrenium salt.
