Iodine‐Mediated Synthesis of Aromatic Thioethers with Aromatic Amines and Sulfonyl Hydrazides in High Regioselectivity <i>via</i> C(<i>sp</i>²)H Bond Functionalization

Abstract

Abstract An iodine‐mediated synthesis of aromatic thioethers from aromatic amines and sulfonyl hydrazides via C( sp 2 )H bond functionalization and CS bond formation has been developed. In this procedure, various substituents on the sulfonyl hydrazides, such as alkyl, methoxyl, chloro, bromo and fluoro groups, and aromatic amines are tolerated in the thiolation which generates the desired products in moderate to good yields. magnified image
