Promoted by NaOH in EtOH, the cleavage of 1 commences to generate thiolate anions, and the generated thiolate anions then react with halides to give various thioethers in good yield. It is noteworthy that only a very faint odor ofthiols can be perceived during both the reaction and the workup.展开更多
The disulfides reacted with zinc in DMF, followed by alkyl halides, giving unsymmetrical thioether in excellent yields. This reaction takes place under mild and neutral conditions.
Tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) effectively facilitated a denitrative substitution reaction of electron-deficient nitroarenes with phenylthiotrimethylsilane (PhSTMS) under mild and base-free neutral conditions ...Tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) effectively facilitated a denitrative substitution reaction of electron-deficient nitroarenes with phenylthiotrimethylsilane (PhSTMS) under mild and base-free neutral conditions at room temperature, providing a practical and efficient synthesis of useful unsymmetrical diaryl thioethers. Nitroarenes bearing ortho- and para-positioned electron-withdrawing groups are the most reactive substrates, indicating that this reaction most possibly proceeded via the nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) mechanism.展开更多

Structures of the products confirmed by elemental analysis and spectral measurements. The new systems obtained were evaluated as antifungal agents.展开更多

This reaction features excellent selectivity, wide functionality tolerance, broad substrate scope, and facile late-stage modification of biologically relevant molecules.Mechanistic studies recognize initial generation of an amidyl radical anion via thermoinduced reduction of DMF with Sn, followed by umpolung reduction and single electron transfer of the nucleophilic sulfonyl moiety to form a sulphydryl radical and engage the Ni^(0)/Ni^(Ⅰ)/Ni^(Ⅲ)/Ni^(I) catalytic cycle.展开更多
