The first nickel-catalyzed phosphinylation of C-S bonds forming C-P bonds is developed. This transformation can proceed readily with the simple Ni(cod) at a loading down to 0.1 mol% at the 10 mmol scale. A variety of aryl sulfur compounds, i.e. sulfides, sulfoxides and sulfones all couple with P(O)-H compounds to produce the corresponding organophosphorus compounds in high yields, which provides an efficient new method for the construction of C-P bonds.
A novel protocol towards N-aroylated sulfoximines from NH-sulfoximines and methyl arenes was herein demonstrated. The reaction took place in the presence of elemental iodine, requiring no external organic solvents, transition metal-catalysts or ligands. The aroylated products were obtained from the oxidative transformation in moderate to excellent yields (up to 94% yield) with a broad substrate scope (35 examples) through a radical pathway.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
