Hann JL, Lyall CL, Kociok-Köhn G, Faverio C, Pantoş GD, Lewis SE. Unusual Regio- and Chemoselectivity in Oxidation of Pyrroles and Indoles Enabled by a Thianthrenium Salt Intermediate. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202405057. [PMID: 38830180 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202405057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024]
Abstract
A dearomative oxidation of pyrroles to Δ3-pyrrol-2-ones is described, which employs a sulfoxide as oxidant, in conjunction with a carboxylic acid anhydride and a Brønsted acid additive. 3-substituted pyrroles undergo regioselective oxidation to give the product isomer in which oxygen has been introduced at the more hindered position. Regioselectivity is rationalized by a proposed mechanism that proceeds by initial thianthrenium introduction at the less-hindered pyrrole α-position, followed by distal attack of an oxygen nucleophile and subsequent elimination of thianthrene. The same reaction conditions are also able to effect a chemoselective oxidation of indoles to indolin-3-ones and additionally of indolin-3-ones to 2-hydroxyindolin-3-ones. Here again, the regio- and chemoselectivities are rationalized through the intermediacy of a thianthrenium salt.

Abstract
An efficient method for the synthesis of alkynyl sulfides via a C(sp3)-S bond cleavage of α-bromostyrene sulfonium salts has been developed. This base-promoted nucleophilic ring-opening pathway allows the preparation of diverse alkynyl sulfide compounds using tetramethylene sulfoxide as the sulfur source. The reaction proceeds with good functional group tolerance and could be applied to the late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules and drugs. Furthermore, the synthetic utility of this method was demonstrated by a one-pot synthesis, scale-up reaction and further modification of various alkynyl sulfide products.

Abstract
Herein, we reported a general strategy for the synthesis of sulfur-containing primary alcohol derivatives by base-promoted ring-opening hydroxylation of cyclic sulfonium salts. A variety of sulfonium salts were successfully transformed into the desired hydroxylated products in moderate to excellent yields with good functional group tolerance. Moreover, the one-pot synthesis, scale-up reaction, and late-stage functionalization of complex molecules demonstrated the practicability of this synthetic protocol in the field of synthetic chemistry.

Abstract
AbstractThe application of alkylsulfonium salts as alkyl-transfer reagents in organic synthesis has reemerged over the past few years. Numerous heteroatom- and carbon-centered nucleophiles, alkenes, arenes, alkynes, organometallic reagents, and others are readily alkylated by alkylsulfonium salts under mild conditions. The reactions feature convenience, high efficiency, readily accessible and structurally diversified alkylation reagents, good functional group tolerance, and a wide range of substrate types, allowing the facile synthesis of various useful organic molecules from commercially available building blocks. This review summarizes alkylation reactions using either isolated or in situ formed alkylsulfonium salts via nucleophilic substitution, transition-metal-catalyzed reactions, and photoredox processes.1 Introduction2 General Methods for the Synthesis of Alkylsulfonium Salts3 Electrophilic Alkylation Using Alkylsulfonium Salts4 Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Alkylation Using Alkylsulfonium Salts5 Photoredox-Catalyzed Alkylation Using Alkylsulfonium Salts6 Conclusion

Abstract
An interrupted Pummerer/palladium-catalyzed fluoro-alkylation strategy was developed for alkenyl C-H fluoroalkylthiolation. Palladium-catalyzed ring-opening fluoroalkylation via aliphatic C-S bond cleavage of the vinylsulfonium salts efficiently afforded fluoroalkylthiolated alkene derivatives from readily available alkene substrates and CsF. The protocol features broad substrate scopes and good functional group tolerance under an air atmosphere. The practicability of the synthetic method was demonstrated by transforming the multisubstituted alkene products to diverse fluoroalkylthiolated N-heterocycles.
