Published: March 2025

The introduction of two nucleophiles in vicinal position of arenes via Sandmeyer-type reactions is compromised by the problematic diazotization of ortho-diaminoarenes. Herein, we show that vicinal substitution reactions are facilitated by the use of 1,2-bis-triazenylarenes. Two distinct methodologies for the synthesis of these triazenes are presented. The first approach involves the sequential conversion of 1-amino-2-iodoarenes into first mono- and then bis-triazenylarenes. The second procedure is based on Ru-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions between diynes and a 1,2-bis-triazenylalkyne. The two triazene groups in the products can be substituted sequentially by a range of nucleophiles including fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, azide, hydroxide, methoxide, and acetamide.

Sandmeyer Chlorosulfonylation of (Hetero)Aromatic Amines Using DABSO as an SO Surrogate.

Sulfonyl chlorides not only play a crucial role in protecting group chemistry but also are important starting materials in the synthesis of sulfonamides, which are in-demand motifs in drug discovery chemistry. Despite their importance, the number of different synthetic approaches to sulfonyl chlorides is limited, and most of them rely on traditional oxidative chlorination chemistry from thiol precursors. In this report, we disclose a novel Sandmeyer-type sulfonyl chloride synthesis from feedstock anilines and DABSO, used as a stable SO surrogate, in the presence of HCl and a Cu catalyst.

Radiocyanation is an attractive strategy for incorporating carbon-11 into radiotracer targets, particularly given the broad scope of acyl moieties accessible from nitriles. Most existing methods for aromatic radiocyanation require elevated temperatures (Cu-mediated reactions of aryl halides or organometallics) or involve expensive and toxic palladium complexes (Pd-mediated reactions of aryl halides). The current report discloses a complementary approach that leverages the capture of aryl radical intermediates by a Cu-CN complex to achieve rapid and mild (5 min, room temperature) radiocyanation.

Preparation of -aryl thioglycosides from 1-thiosugars -arylation was demonstrated under mild reaction conditions. A wide range of protected and unprotected 1-thiosugars derived from glucose, glucosamine, galactose, mannose, ribose, maltose, and lactose underwent cross-coupling reactions with functionalized aryldiazonium salts in the presence of copper(I) chloride and DBU. The desired products were obtained in 55-88% yields within 5 min.

Copper-Promoted One-Pot Sandmeyer-Type Reaction for the Synthesis of -Aryltriazoles.

Herein, we report the copper-catalyzed one-pot Sandmeyer-type reaction of aromatic amines with triazoles to afford -aryl-1,2,3-triazoles. Diazonium salts, formed from aromatic amines and -butyl nitrite in the presence of fluoroboric acid, reacted with triazoles in a copper-catalyzed Sandmeyer-type reaction. The reaction proceeded under mild conditions to afford -aryltriazoles in moderate to good yields.
