Manganese-Catalyzed Redox-Neutral Thiolation of Alkyl Halides with Thioformates
Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)(2023)
摘要
Transition metal-catalyzed C-S cross-coupling has emerged as an important strategy to furnish thioethers; however, the dominant utilization of noble metal catalysts as well as the construction of challenging C(sp(3))-S bonds by transition metal-catalysis remain highly problematic. Earth-abundant manganese has gathered increasing interest as an attractive catalyst for new reaction development; nevertheless, C(sp(3))-S cross-coupling reaction by manganese catalysis has not been reported. Herein, we disclose a highly efficient manganese-catalyzed redox-neutral thiolation of a broad range of alkyl halides with thioformates as practical sulfuration agents. Strategically, employing easily synthesized thioformates as thiyl radical precursors allows access to various aryl and alkyl thioethers in good to excellent yields. Notably, this redox-neutral method avoids the utilization of strong bases, external ligands, forcing reaction conditions, and stoichiometric manganese, thus presenting apparent advantages, such as broad substrate scope, excellent functional group compatibility, and mild reaction conditions. Finally, the utilities of this method are also illustrated by downstream transformations and late-stage thiolation of structurally complex natural products and pharmaceuticals.
