RESUMEN
A general practical approach to hetero(aromatic) and aliphatic P(O)Me2-substituted derivatives is elaborated. The key synthetic step was a [Pd]-mediated C-P coupling of (hetero)aryl bromides/iodides with HP(O)Me2. The P(O)Me2 substituent was shown to dramatically increase solubility and decrease lipophilicity of organic compounds. This tactic was used to improve the solubility of the antihypertensive drug prazosin without affecting its biological profile.

Facile synthesis of 5-fluoropyrazoles by direct fluorination of pyrazoles with N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) was elaborated. This approach was used to prepare the unsubstituted 5-fluoro-1 H-pyrazole, the known fungicide Penflufen, and many functionalized 5-fluoropyrazoles: building blocks for medicinal chemistry and agrochemistry.
RESUMEN
A simple and cost-effective one-pot parallel synthesis approach to sulfides, sulfoxides, and sulfones from thiourea was elaborated. The method combines two procedures optimized to the parallel synthesis conditions: alkylation of thiourea with alkyl chlorides and mono or full oxidation of in situ generated sulfides with H2O2 or H2O2-(NH4)2MoO4. The experimental set up required commonly used lab equipment: conventional oven and ultrasonic bath; the work up includes filtration or extraction with chloroform. The method was evaluated on an 81 member library of drug-like sulfides, sulfoxides, and sulfones yielding the compounds on a 30-300 mg scale. A small-scale synthesis of 2-(benzhydrylsulfinyl)acetamide (modafinil) utilizing our approach resulted in similar efficiency to the published procedures.
