We have developed a photoinduced oxidative cross-coupling of thiophenols with alcohols for O–S bond formation. The protocol uses visible light, a metal-free photocatalyst, and oxygen as the oxidant for the selective synthesis of alkyl benzenesulfonates; no ligand co-additive is necessary. Mechanistic studies suggested that the disulfide and alkyl benzenesulfinate are involved as intermediates and that the transformation proceeds by a radical pathway.

AbstractSelf-assembled aggregates of 7,10-dibromo-2,3-dicyanopyrazinophenanthrene which act as a new organophotocatalyst in combination with Ni catalyst for the Caryl–Oacyl cross-coupling reactions of carboxylic acids with aryl halides are described. This visible-light-induced Caryl–Oacyl bond-formation reaction proceeds smoothly to afford aryl esters with satisfactory to excellent yields.

C–S cross-couplings are an important class of reactions ­applied across organic synthesis, materials science, and pharma­ceuticals. Several different methodologies have been developed to achieve this significant transformation. However, currently available synthetic procedures significantly rely on transition metals. This article describes historical developments in the field of transition-metal-catalyzed C–S cross-coupling reactions, the development of a visible-light-driven and catalyst-free approach to C–S bond formation, and future outlooks.

Design and implementation of the first (asymmetric) Fe-catalyzed intra- and intermolecular difunctionalization of vinyl cyclopropanes (VCPs) with alkyl halides and aryl Grignard reagents has been realized via a mechanistically driven approach. Mechanistic studies support the diffusion of the alkyl radical intermediates out of the solvent cage to participate in an intra- or -intermolecular radical cascade with the VCP followed by re-entering the Fe radical cross-coupling cycle to undergo selective C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond formation. Overall, we provide new design principles for Fe-mediated radical processes and underscore the potential of using combined computations and experiments to accelerate the development of challenging transformations.

A CF3SO2Na/Pd(OAc)2 co-catalyzed strategy is developed to produce aryl ketones via visible-light-induced decarboxylative cross-coupling of α-oxocarboxylic acids and aryl boronic acids. This process was perfomed under air at room temperature,...
