Abstract
Herein, we report the gold-catalyzed deallylative C–S cross-coupling reaction through ligand-enabled Au(I)/Au(III) redox catalysis. One of the major challenges in gold-catalyzed C–S cross-coupling reactions is to prevent catalyst deactivation caused by the formation of a strong gold–sulfur bond. We discovered that the use of allyl phenyl sulfide as a sulfur surrogate facilitates a dynamic equilibrium between cationic Au(I) and Au(I)-sulfide complexes, overcoming the gold quenching problem. A detailed mechanistic investigation, including 31P NMR studies, mass analysis, and stoichiometric experiments, provided valuable insights into the reaction mechanism, which is further supported by computational studies.
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.
