Article Abstract
Developing innovative methodologies for disulfide preparation is of importance in contemporary organic chemistry. Despite significant advancements in nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling reactions for forming carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds, the synthesis of S-S bonds remains a considerable challenge. In this context, we present a novel approach utilizing nickel catalysts for the reductive cross-coupling of thiosulfonates. This method operates under mild conditions, offering a convenient and efficient pathway to synthesize a wide range of both symmetrical and unsymmetrical disulfides from readily available, bench-stable thiosulfonates with exceptional selectivity. Notably, this approach is highly versatile, allowing for the late-stage modification of pharmaceuticals and the preparation of various targeted compounds. A comprehensive mechanistic investigation has been conducted to substantiate the proposed hypothesis.

Cross-electrophile coupling (XEC) reactions are considered to be among the most fundamental construction of carbon-carbon bonds in organic chemistry. Traditionally, stoichiometric reductants, including metallic and organic reagents, are required to promote these conversions, resulting in significant waste that contributes to environmental pollution and increased disposal costs. In this study, we report a divided electrochemical synthesis-based cross-coupling platform in which HO is oxidized at the anode surface to generate electrons that produce a lower oxidation state nickel catalyst on the cathode surface, enabling XEC reactions without the need for metallic or organic reagents.

The enantioselective construction of quaternary carbon stereocenters bearing amine functionalities represents a significant challenge in organic synthesis despite their prevalence in pharmaceutically active compounds. Herein, we report a versatile metallaphotoredox platform for the asymmetric incorporation of amine fragments onto quaternary carbons via coupling of alkene-tethered aryl bromides with readily available α-silylamines. This transformation proceeds under mild conditions without requiring organometallic reagents or stoichiometric reductants.

Designing long-lived excitons in photocatalysts is crucial for efficient charge separation. However, most of the current organic photocatalysts are characterized by a relatively short exciton lifetime within the range of picoseconds due to localized excitons with large binding energies. Herein, we report the design of ultralong-lived excitons with a lifetime exceeding 8000 ps by constructing metallo-quinoline-incorporated covalent organic frameworks (COFs).

This article describes a detailed investigation of the palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl (pseudo)halides (ArX) with MSCF to form aryl trifluoromethylthioethers (ArSCF). Mechanistic organometallic studies are used to interrogate two key elementary steps of the catalytic cycle: (1) transmetalation of Pd(Ar)(X) complexes with MSCF and (2) Ar-SCF bond-forming reductive elimination. These studies reveal that tetramethylammonium trifluoromethylthiolate, NMeSCF, exhibits a combination of fast kinetics and high chemoselectivity for transmetalation.

An electrochemical Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling of arylcarboxylic esters with alkylpyridinium salts has been developed. Various aryl alkyl ketones are obtained in good to excellent yields (up to 86% yield). The reaction tolerated a variety of primary alkylpyridinium salts, including substrates with protic functional groups and derivatives of bioactive molecules.
