RESUMEN
In this paper, we report an unprecedented copper-catalyzed disulfides or sulfides coupling reaction involving unactivated alkyl halides and N-dithiophthalimides. This reaction can be conducted under mild conditions using low-cost metal catalysts and exhibits high chemical selectivity and functional group compatibility, enabling the efficient assembly of various sulfides and disulfides.
RESUMEN
A diverse chemoselective insertion reaction of sulfoxonium ylides and thiosulfonates under transition-metal-free conditions is developed, which successfully affords 1,4-diketone compounds, arylthiosulfoxide-ylides, and ß-keto thiosulfones, respectively. The nucleophilic addition of two molecular sulfoxonium ylides to construct sulfone-substituted 1,4-dione compounds is the highlight of this work.
