Thianthrenation is a useful strategy for the late-stage diversification of complex small molecules owing to the positional selectivity and the synthetic versatility of thianthrenium salts as electrophilic linchpins. However, substrate-dependent identification of suitable reaction conditions for thianthrenation can be difficult. Reported reaction conditions for the functionalization of thianthrenium salts vary significantly and, in some instances, lack robustness and practicality. Herein, we report a generalized approach for the preparation of thianthrenium salts and two reaction manifolds for practical, robust, and parallel diversification of thianthrenium salts.

Cross-coupling reactions are indispensable for the construction of complex molecular scaffolds. In this work, we developed a sustainable methodology for the cross-coupling reaction of arene thianthrenium salts with aryl boronic acids, which can be effectively realized under mechanochemical conditions. Liquid-assisted grinding (LAG) enabled fast and high-yielding synthesis of a range of biaryls via Pd/RuPhos-catalyzed cross-coupling.

A three-component reaction of alkenyl thianthrenium salts, cyclopropan-1-ols and DABCO·(SO) under catalyst- and additive-free conditions, is accomplished. This sulfonylation with the insertion of sulfur dioxide works efficiently under very mild conditions, leading to a wide range of 1-substituted vinyl sulfones in moderate to good yields. In this protocol, the scope generality of alkenyl thianthrenium salts and cyclopropyl alcohols is demonstrated.

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.
