Copper-catalyzed reductive coupling of aryl sulfonyl chlorides with H-phosphonates leading to S-aryl phosphorothioates

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Aug 18;50(64):8860-3. doi: 10.1039/c4cc02693d.

Abstract

An efficient protocol for copper-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling of aryl sulfonyl chlorides with H-phosphonates has been developed. The various S-aryl phosphorothioates were afforded in up to 86% yield for 20 examples. This protocol features high efficiency, wide functional group tolerance, commercially available aryl sulfonyl chlorides as starting materials and base-free conditions.
