Visible-Light-Driven α‑Allenylic C–O Bond Cleavage and Alkenyl C–S Formation: Metal-Free and Oxidant-Free Thiolation of Allenyl Phosphine Oxides
journal contribution
posted on 2017-11-18, 16:48 authored by Ling Zhang, Jie Zhu, Jing Ma, Lei Wu, Wei-Hua ZhangA visible-light photoredox cleavage
of α-allenylic C–O
bond and alkenyl C–S formation is disclosed for the first time.
The thiolation of allenyl phosphine oxides with diaryl disulfides
occurs smoothly in metal-free and mild conditions, affording novel
S,P-bifunctionalized butadienes with moderate to excellent yields.
Mechanistic studies explain the cleavage of a C(sp3)–O(Ar) bond in initiating a key alkenyl radical
intermediate.
