Ligand-Free Copper(I)-Mediated Cross-Coupling Reactions of Organostannanes with Sulfur Electrophiles

The synthesis of aryl thioether through the cross-coupling of C–S bond is a highly attractive area of research due to the prevalence of aryl thioether in bioactive natural products, functional materials, agrochemicals, and pharmaceutically active compounds. Herein, we report a ligand-free Cu­(I) med...

Summary:The synthesis of aryl thioether through the cross-coupling of C–S bond is a highly attractive area of research due to the prevalence of aryl thioether in bioactive natural products, functional materials, agrochemicals, and pharmaceutically active compounds. Herein, we report a ligand-free Cu­(I) mediated electrophilic thiolation of organostannanes with sulfur electrophiles. A selective transfer of alkyl groups was achieved in reactions with alkyl carbastannatranes affording congested thioethers. This study offers a unified method to access diaryl and aryl alkyl thioethers and was demonstrated in the context of late-stage modifications..
