  • one pot synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl Thioethers by palladium catalyzed coupling of two aryl bromides and a thiol surrogate
    Chemistry: A European Journal, 2010
    Co-Authors: Manuel A Fernandezrodriguez, John F Hartwig
    Abstract:

    Aromatic Thioethers are valuable synthetic intermediates frequently found in biologically and pharmaceutically active molecules or in polymeric materials. In particular, diaryl-and aryl-heteroaryl Thioethers are essential components of numerous drugs with potential application in the treatment of inflammation, cancer, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), asthma, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.[1–6] Furthermore, diaryl Thioethers are precursors to the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones that also exhibit important biological activities and are contained in antifungal and anti-cancer agents as well as in potential drug candidates for Alzheimer’s disease or HIV.[7–11] Classical methods for the synthesis of such Thioethers encompass thermal reaction of arenes with sulfur,[12,13] base-mediated reactions of activated chloroarenes with thiophenols,[14] and condensation of organolithium or Grignard reagents with chlorophenyl sulfide.[15] However, these reactions often require harsh reaction conditions, occur with low regioselectivity, and form disulfide and thiantrene side products.[12,13]
