Synthesis of S-glycosyl thiophosphates, thiophosphonates and thiophosphinates by the Michaelis–Arbuzov rearrangement of anomeric thiocyanates

Visible-light-mediated direct synthesis of phosphorotrithioates as potent anti-inflammatory agents from white phosphorus

The reaction of P₄ with arylthiols in the presence of Na₂–eosin Y under visible light gave phosphorotrithioites. Subsequent oxidation of phosphorotrithioites produced phosphorotrithioates. The phosphorotrithioate 3f presents good inflammation reducing characteristics.

Base-controlled Fe(Pc)-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of thiols for the synthesis of S–S and S–P(O) bonds

Base-controlled Fe(Pc)-catalyzed S–S/S–P(O) bond formation.

Visible light photoredox catalyzed thiophosphate synthesis using methylene blue as a promoter

A novel efficient method for the synthesis of thiophosphate derivatives catalyzed by methylene blue with blue light irradiation under an air atmosphere is described.

Polarity and structure of derivatives of bis(2-phenylethyl)selenophosphinic acid

Conformational analysis of derivatives of bis(2-phenylethyl)selenophosphinic acid was carried out by the method of dipole moments and density functional theory calculations. The conformations of the examined compounds fit into the overall conformational picture for the PIV compounds: these derivatives exist as conformational equilibrium of non-eclipsed gauche and trans forms with propeller arrangement of the substituents relative to the P=Se bond. We stipulate that the eclipsed cis orientation of substituent may be caused by the formation of H-contact.

K2CO3-promoted aerobic oxidative cross-coupling of trialkyl phosphites with thiophenols

Phosphorylation of thiols has been achieved via K₂CO₃-promoted aerobic oxidative cross-coupling of trialkyl phosphites with thiophenols.

Thiophosphate and thiophosphonate analogues of glucose-1-phosphate: synthesis and enzymatic activity with a thymidylyltransferase

Synthetic methods were investigated for the preparation of O and S-glucosyl thiophosphates and glucosyl 1C-thiophosphonate. Four protected glucosyl thiophosphate compounds were synthesized and characterized as precursors to glucose 1-thiophosphate. The effect of various reaction conditions and the nature of the carbohydrate and thiophosphate protecting groups and how they impact both the yields and α/β diastereoselectivity of the glucosyl thiophosphate products were explored. A novel isomerization from an O-linked to S-linked glucosyl thiophosphate was observed. α-D-Glucose-1C-thiophosphonate was synthesized and evaluated as a substrate for the thymidylyltransferase, Cps2L. Tandem mass spectrometric analysis determined the position of sulfur in the sugar nucleotide product.
