RESUMEN
An iron-sulfur complex formed by the simple mixture of FeCl3 with S3â¢- generated in situ from K2S is developed and applied to selective aerobic oxidation of terminal alkenes. The reaction was carried out under an atmosphere of O2 (balloon) and could proceed on a gram scale, expanding the application of S3â¢- in organic synthesis. This study also encourages us to explore the application of an Fe-S catalyst in organic reactions.
RESUMEN
An efficient transition-metal-free decarboxylative cyclization of N-arylacrylamides with 2,2-difluoro-2-(phenylthio)acetic acid for the construction of thiodifluoroindoleone derivatives is described. This strategy features stable and readily available substrates, mild reaction conditions, and transition-metal-free catalysts. Notably, this protocol has successfully applied to synthesis of gem-difluoroalkenes, which exist in numerous biologically active compounds.
RESUMEN
A novel visible-light-photocatalytic deuterated thiomethylation/methylselenation of aryldiazonium salts utilizing S/Se-methyl-d3 sulfonothioate has been developed. The mild conditions and the various functional groups provide a green protocol for the efficient and rapid introduction of the S-CD3 or Se-CD3 group with useful levels of deuterium content (>91% D). Trideuteromethyl sulfoxides have also been successfully chemoselectively observed by simple atmospheric changes under photocatalytic conditions.
