Sulfur Imidations by Light‐Induced Ruthenium‐Catalyzed Nitrene Transfer Reactions

Abstract: N‐Acyl nitrenes have been generated from a range of heterocyclic precursors, and their applications in light‐induced ruthenium‐catalyzed sulfur imidations have been studied. Analyzing the reaction scope and determining the structural requirements of the in situ formed electrophilic nitrogen species for effective nitrene transfer allowed a mechanistic scheme to be proposed. The mechanistic conclusions were substantiated by the identification of potential intermediates.

“…[66] In the presence of aRu(TPP)CO (TPP = tetraphenylporphyrin) catalyst, dioxazolones proved to be suitable substrates for nitrene transfer reactions (Scheme 21). Thea ctive catalytic species is generated by dissociation of CO from the Ru pre-catalyst, astep which can be promoted by light or thermal energy.A fter decarboxylation, the N-acyl-based Ru inter-mediate is capable of transferring the nitrene unit to thioethers and sulfoxides, [67] olefins and alkynes. [68] In the latter case,t he addition of CuCl 2 is required as ac o-catalyst allowing the formation of 2-oxazolines and oxazoles.…”

“…Then we speculate that the aroyl nitrene may form after the departure of benzene‐sulfonyl fluoride. Therefore, we attempted to use methyl phenyl sulfide to probe the intermediacy of the nitrene (Scheme A). But the desired product was not detected.…”

“…Through one of the heteroatoms, 3‐substituted‐1,4,2‐dioxazol‐5‐one 1 interacts with the silver(I) salt to generate silver complex A [5] . The subsequent loss of CO 2 provides silver N ‐acyl nitrene complex B [29] . Then, the interaction of isocyanide 2 with N ‐acyl nitrene complex B allows an N ‐acyl nitrene transfer reaction via complex C , generating intermediate D and active silver(I) catalyst for the next cycle.…”
