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
Here, we demonstrate palladium-catalyzed Hiyama-type cross-coupling reactions of aryl thianthrenium or phenoxathiinium salts. By employing stable and inexpensive organosilanes, the arylation, alkenylation, and alkynylation were realized in high efficiency using commercially available Pd(tBu3P)2 as the catalyst, thus providing a reliable method for preparation of biaryls, styrenes, and aryl acetylenes with a broad functional group tolerance under mild conditions. Given the accessibility of aryl thianthrenium or phenoxathiinium salts from simple arenes in a remarkable regioselective fashion, this protocol also provides an attractive approach for the late-stage modification of complex bioactive scaffolds.

Abstract
We report a visible-light-promoted cyclization/sulfonylation cascade of N-heterocycles with thianthrenium salts using DABSO as the SO2 surrogate. This method features excellent functional group tolerance, wide substrate scope, and late-stage elaboration of bioactive relevant molecules. Mechanistic investigations reveal that the photoactive electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes between thianthrenium salts and DABCO are capable of the generation of aryl radicals, which induce the following SO2 insertion by attacking DABSO, thus triggering the key radical cyclization step.

Abstract
Site-selective ortho/ipso C-H difunctionalizations of aromatic compounds were designed to afford polyfunctionalized arenes including challenging 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted ones (62 examples, up to 97 % yields). To ensure the excellent regioselectivity of the process while keeping high efficiency, an original strategy based on a "C-H thianthenation/Catellani-type reaction" sequence was developed starting from simple arenes. Non-prefunctionalized arenes were first regioselectively converted into the corresponding thianthrenium salts. Then, a palladium-catalyzed, norbornene (NBE)-mediated process allowed the synthesis of ipso-olefinated/ortho-alkylated polyfunctionalized arenes using a thianthrene as a leaving group (revisited Catellani reaction). Pleasingly, using a commercially available norbornene (NBE) and a unique catalytic system, synthetic challenges known for the Catellani reaction with aryl iodides were smoothly and successfully tackled with the "thianthrenium" approach. The protocol was robust (gram-scale reaction) and was widely applied to the two-fold functionalization of various arenes including bio-active compounds. Moreover, a panel of olefins and alkyl halides as coupling partners was suitable. Pleasingly, the "thianthrenium" strategy was successfully further applied to the incorporation of other groups at the ipso (CN/alkyl/H, aryl) and ortho (alkyl, aryl, amine, thiol) positions, showcasing the generality of the process.

Abstract
A novel strategy for the difunctionalization of electron-deficient alkenes with aryl sulfonium salts to access remote sulfur-containing oxindole derivatives by using in situ-formed copper(I)-based complexes as a photoredox catalyst is presented. This method enables the generation of the C(sp3)-centered radicals through site selective cleavage of the C-S bond of aryl sulfonium salts under mild conditions. Moreover, the oxidation reactions of desired products provide a new strategy for the preparation of sulfoxide or sulfone-containing compounds. Importantly, this approach can be easily applied to late-stage modification of pharmaceuticals molecules.

Abstract
The difunctionalization of alkenes using aryl thianthrenium salts as the aryl sources has been reported sporadically. However, the four-component difunctionalization of alkenes on the basis of aryl thianthrenium salts has not been reported thus far and still remains a challenge. Herein, a visible light/copper catalysis-enabled four-component reaction of aryl thianthrenium salts, DABCO·(SO2)2, alkenes, and TMSN3 is presented, which affords a facile approach to β-azidosulfones in good yields with broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance. This strategy indirectly realizes the method for the synthesis of β-azidosulfones through site-selective aryl C-H bond functionalization and alkene difunctionalization. This developed method is an important complement to thianthrenium salts chemistry.

Abstract
A novel and efficient method for the synthesis of aryl phosphonates from aryl halides and trialkylphosphites via EDA complex-based photochemistry has been developed. It is demonstrated that aryl radicals, generated from the photoexcitation of the EDA complex formed by aryl halide and potassium thioacetate, could be intercepted with trialkylphosphite to produce the corresponding aryl phosphonates in moderate to good yields. It should be noted that the reaction is performed at room temperature in the absence of any transition metal catalyst, oxidant and photocatalyst, exhibiting high efficiency, high selectivity, and operational simplicity.

Abstract
Visible-light-induced regioselective cascade radical cyclization of α-bromocarbonyls for the synthesis of benzazepine derivatives is described. In the presence of fac-Ir(ppy)3 (2.0 mol %) as a photocatalyst, 2,6-lutidine as a base, and dichloromethane as a solvent, the reactions proceed smoothly to afford seven-membered rings in good yields. This protocol features a broad substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance, and mild reaction conditions. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that the generation of the α-carbon radical is more prone to react with the 1,1-diphenylethylene tethered acrylamide to generate the stable seven-membered heterocycle.

Abstract
A simple and efficient transition-metal/photocatalyst-free visible-light-driven one-pot three-component reaction between thianthrenium salts, carbon disulfide and amines under an air atmosphere for the preparation of biologically relevant S-aryl dithiocarbamates is developed. This methodology is robust and scalable, and exhibits a broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance. Of note, a wide range of primary aliphatic amines bearing different groups are suitable for this strategy. The synthetic utility was further demonstrated by a two-step one-pot multi-component reaction and photo-flow decagram-scale synthesis. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the association of the dithiocarbamate anion with thianthrenium salts formed an electron donor-acceptor complex, which upon excitation with visible light produced an aryl radical via single-electron transfer.

Abstract
In recent years, S-(alkyl)thianthrenium salts have become an important means of functionalizing alcohol compounds. However, additional transition metal catalysts and/or visible light are required. Herein, a direct thioetherification/amination reaction of thianthrenium salts is realized under metal-free conditions. This strategy exhibits good functional-group tolerance, operational simplicity, and an extensive range of compatible substrates.

Abstract
Aryl phosphonates are prevalent moieties in medicinal chemistry and agrochemicals. Their chemical synthesis normally relies on the use of precious metals, harsh conditions or aryl halides as substrates. Herein, we describe a sustainable light-promoted and site-selective C-H phosphonation of arenes via thianthrenation and the formation of an electron donor-acceptor complex (EDA) as key steps. The method tolerates a wide range of functional groups including biomolecules. The use of sunlight also promotes this transformation and our mechanistic investigations support a radical chain mechanism.
