Abstract
We report a novel coupling strategy enabled by cyclic diphenylchloronium salt that facilitates reactions between sulfides and diverse nucleophiles, including oxygen- and nitrogen-based species. The methodology efficiently produces structurally varied valuable compounds, including carbamates, carboxylic esters, aryl ethers, and alkylated amines, under mild, operationally simple conditions. The protocol’s synthetic utility was highlighted through modular preparation of five important drugs and five structural analogues, demonstrating significant potential for drug discovery applications.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
