双芳基硫醚常存在于药物和天然产物中, 通常涉及金属交叉偶联反应、高温以及使用稳定性差、气味难闻的硫酚进行合成. 基于此, 研究了在无过渡金属催化条件下, 多氟芳烃、二芳基碘盐及硫代乙酸钾的三组分交叉偶联反应. 该反应通过商业化的硫代乙酸钾与两种缺电子芳烃经连续两次亲电取代反应, 合成了系列非对称的双芳基硫醚, 表现出了宽泛的底物适用范围和官能团兼容性. 此外, 通过一锅法氧化反应可以实现砜和亚砜类化合物的合成, 拓展了该策略的应用范围; 克级规模实验和衍生化实验均表现出优异的结果, 进一步证明了该反应具有潜在的应用价值. 通过对照、自由基抑制及中间体捕获实验阐明了其机制.

Diaryl sulfides are found in drugs and natural products, yet their synthesis traditionally requires metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, high temperatures, and the use of the air-sensitive and extremely odorous thiophenols. A novel transition-metal-free strategy for the synthesis of unsymmetric diaryl sulfides via a three-component cross-coupling of polyfluoro- arenes, diaryliodide salts and potassium thioacetate is reported. This approach enables the formation of a diverse array of unsymmetric diaryl thioethers through two successive electrophilic substitution reactions involving commercially available potassium thioacetate and two electron-deficient aromatic hydrocarbons, demonstrating broad substrate scope and functional group compatibility. Additionally, this strategy facilitates the synthesis of sulfones and sulfoxides via a one-pot oxidation reaction, thereby extending its applicability. Gram-scale reactions and derivatization experiments have shown excellent results, further proving the potential application value of this reaction. Mechanistic insights were elucidated through control, radical inhibition and intermediate capture experiments.
