Abstract: A new and metal-free cross-coupling reaction between sulfoximines and N(phenylthio)-succinimides was developed in water, afforded an efficient route for the synthesis of N-sulfenyl sulfoximines. This transformation provides N-sulfenyl sulfoximines with good functional group tolerance and moderate to excellent yields. Moreover, this protocol can be easily scaled up to the gram level with excellent yield.

Introduction With the rapid economic development worldwide, environmental concerns are of increasing interests. As a result, green chemistry that aims to reduce the toxic or polluting wastes in chemical processes has received much consideration in the past few decades.1,2 Generally, chemical pollution in the reaction system comes mainly from the use of organic solvents and

metal catalysts. Therefore, the studies of environmental friendly solvents and catalysts have become one of the most fascinating areas in chemical research.3,4 In terms of the solvent, compared to the commonly used organic solvents, water is the most universal and friendly solvent in our ecosystem. It is a cheap, non-toxic, highly stable, non-flammable, easy handling and ‘green’ solvent.5 Some reports have demonstrated that water could accelerate the rate of reactions.6 Although many organic reactants suffer the poor aqueous solubility, water has still been widely used as solvent in chemical synthesis since Breslow’s pioneering work.7,8 On the other hand, to prepare green catalysts, the use of a recyclable heterogeneous catalyst in place of a single metal catalyst has been greatly developed and exhibits good catalytic activity in many reactions.9 However, defects still exist. For example, the synthesis of heterogeneous catalysts always needs multiple steps, and more efforts are required for structural identification. So, reactions proceeding in water with simple and eco-friendly catalyst are still highly desired. Organic compounds bearing nitrogen-sulfur bond are privileged structural motifs widely found in pharmaceutical and nature products.10,11,12 This fact induced extensive researchs on the construction of nitrogen-sulfur bond containing molecules over the years.13,14 Among them, as significant scaffolds, many attention were focused on the synthesis of sulfoximine derivatives due to their potential medicinal activity and high reactivity in organic synthesis. As pharmacophores, sulfoximines were associated with benzodiazepine receptor agonists,15 HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors,16,17 adrenergic receptor blockers18 and calcitriol analogues.19 In chemical synthesis, sulfoximines have been used as chiral ligands,20,21 organocatalysts22 and chiral directing groups in C-H activition.23,24 Fig.1 Approaches for the synthesis of N-sulfenyl sulfoximines

In recent years, as the techniques of cross-coupling reactions are moving forward fastly, the formation of nitrogen-sulfur bond has been widely studied.13,14 However, the constructions of nitrogen-sulfur bond in water were rarely reported.25 As part of organosulfur-nitrogen containing compounds, many efforts were also made to form N-sulfenyl sulfoximines. Conventional methods to achieve N-sulfenyl sulfoximines often involve harsh conditions, where sodium hydride was needed (Fig.1, a).26 Recently, some alternative routes for the formation of Nsulfenyl sulfoximines have been established. For instance, N-trifluoromethylthiolated (Fig.1, b),27 copper-catalyzed N-thioetherification (Fig.1, c),28 iodine-catalyzed intermolecular S–N coupling reaction (Fig.1, d)29 were reported in the past three years. More recently, our team are also interested in the structural modification of sulfoximines. [Cu(DMAP)4I]I-catalyzed N-S bond formation method (Fig.1, e)30 and a recyclable heterogeneous copper nanomaterial catalyzed S–N formation route (Fig.1, f)31 were successfully eatablished for the synthesis of Nsulfenyl sulfoximines. Although these methods have proved efficiency in N-sulfenyl sulfoximines synthesis, more efforts have still been made in our group in terms of green and

sustanability. Here, we report this green and efficient methodology for the metal-free Nthioetherification of sulfoximines in water. Results and discussion In our previous study, we found N-(phenylthio)-succinimide (2a) showed high reaction activity in the heterogeneous catalytic system, even if using water as the sole solvent (Table 1, entry 1).31 Moreover, in the absence of copper catalyst, 10% yield of N-sulfenyl sulfoximine (3aa) was also obtained (Table 1, entry 2). These results inspired us to continue to explore green and sustainable synthetic route for the construction of N-sulfenyl sulfoximines. With the above possibilities in mind, we are continuing to study this cross-coupling reaction using diphenyl sulfoximine (1aa) and N-(phenylthio)-succinimide (2a) as starting materials. Considering the solubility of the substrates in water, some solubilizing agents including glycerol, PEG400, PEG600, Triton X-770, sodium 1-dodecanesulfonate (SDS), sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate (LAS),

benzyldodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDBAB), benzyltriethylammonium chloride (TEBAC), tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) were introduced (Table 1, entries 3-14). To our delight, with the adding of solubilizing assistant, the conversion rate and product yield were significantly increased. Among them, Tween 80 and TBAB shown higher activity (Table 1, entry 7 and entry 14). In addition, some reports revealed that cyclodextrin have substrate selective binding and catalytic activity in a wide scope of organic reactions,32,33 so cyclodextrin were also used in this reaction (Table 1, entries 15-17). Inspiringly, β-cyclodextrin shown excellent activity, the conversion rate and the yields were increased to 85% and 72% (Table 1, entry 16). When the temperature rised to 30 oC, the conversion rate was increased to 98% and the yield of 3aa was increased to 78% (Table 1, entry

18). Further rising the temperature to 40 oC and 50 oC, no significant increase in yield (Table 1, entries 19-20). Meanwhile, continuing to rise the reaction temperature in the presence of Tween 80 or TBAB, the yield of 3aa was significantly improved, and the yield was increased to 90% at 50 oC with Tween 80 (Table 1, entries 21-26). These results showed that Tween 80 is more suitable for this coupling reaction. For the optimization of the amount of Tween 80, 2 equivalents were found to be suitable for this reaction (Table 1, entries 27-29). Finally, experiments to optimize the ratio of the reaction substrates were carried out and 2 equivalent weights 2a (base on 1aa) were appropriate (Table 1, entries 30-31). Table 1.

To evaluate the versatility and limitation of this method, we applied this procedure to the cross-coupling reaction of a wide range of sulfoximines with N-(phenylthio)-succinimide (2a) (Table 2). First, electron-donating groups substituted diphenyl sulfoximines were coupled with 2a and gave the corresponding N-sulfenyl sulfoximines in good yields (Table 2, 3aa-3ac). Next, diphenyl sulfoximines with electron-withdrawing groups, such as phenyl, acetyl, chlorine, trifluoromethyl, nitro, cyano were also successfuly reacted with N-(phenylthio)-succinimide, furnished the corresponding products in good to excellent yields (Table 2, 3ba-3bh). Compared with 3bh, when an electron-donating group methyl was added to sulfoximine, the yield was increased (Table 2, 3ca). In addition, S-phenyl-S-naphthalene-sulfoximine and S-phenyl-Spyridyl-sulfoximine were efficiently reacted with 2a, gave the products with yields 93% (Table 2, 3da) and 95% (Table 2, 3db), respectively. Furthermore, S-aryl-S-alkyl-sulfoximines and dialkyl sulfoximines were explored. S-phenyl-S-menhyl, S-phenyl-S-cyclohexyl, S-phenyl-S-benzyl– sulfoximines, generated the corresponding N-sulfenyl sulfoximines in excellent yields (Table 2, 3ea, 3ec, 3ed). Compared with 3ea (yield: 89%), may be limited by steric hindrance, S-phenyl-Sn-octyl-sulfoximine afforded the product in a lower yield (3eb, 47%). Dialkyl sulfoximines may be affected by both electronic effects and steric hindrance, afforded the desire products in low to excelent yields without obvious regularity (Table 2, 3fa-3fd). To investigate the efficiency and further practicality of this transformation, a gram-scale-up of the reaction using 1aa and 2a was performed. The corresponding product 3aa was obtained with 91% yield. Table 2 Substrate scope of sulfoximines with N-(phenylthio)-succinimide a

Scheme 1. Control experiments

To gain further understanding about the reaction mechanism, control experiments were conducted. First, a radical capture experiment was performed and 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine N-oxide (TEMPO) was used as additives in the reaction. With 2 and 4 equipments of TEMPO, the yield of 3aa was decreased from 90% to 50% and 30%, respectively (Scheme 1, a). This result implied that a radical pathway may be involed in this reaction. Next, performing the reaction under Ar and O2 atmosphere instead of air resulted in product 3aa with different yields, implying that oxygen cannot promote this cross-coupling reaction (Scheme 1, b). To further understanding the reaction pathway, the by-products were explored. When the reaction was conducted under O2, air and Ar for 24 h, the by-product 1,2-diphenyldisulfane (4) was isolated in different yields, 20%, 15%, 5% (based on 2a), respectively (Scheme 1, c). In this reaction, if 1,2diphenyldisulfane just come from the self-coupling of thiophenyl radical, the yields should be

similar. So, the different yields of 4 implied that thiophenol may be existed and was further oxidized by oxygen to 4. This result indirectly proved that the radical of thiophenyl was subsistent and may further react with 1aa to generate thiophenol and diphenyl sulfoximine radical. In addition, 1,2-diphenyldisulfane cannot react with 1aa in the standard condition (Scheme 1, c). Scheme 2. Possible mechanism

Based on the aforementioned experimental results, a plausible mechanism for the crosscoupling reactions was proposed (Scheme 2). Initially, 2a was transformed into succinimide radical (5) and thiophenyl radical (6) under the standard condition. Then, the two radicals reacted with 1aa to form the diphenyl sulfoximine radical (7), by-products thiophenol (8) and dihydromaleimide (9). Finally, the diphenyl sulfoximine radical 7 undergoes group transfer with another 2a to form the desire product 3aa, and the succinimide radical 5 was regenerated. Conclusion

In conclusion, a highly efficient protocol for the synthesis of N-sulfenyl sulfoximines have been developed through the metal-free cross-coupling reactions in water. This reaction proceeded well and has moderate to excellent yields with good functional group tolerance under air. The environmentally benign medium, metal-free condition and gram-scale capability make this reaction a green and practical approach for the synthesis of N-sulfenyl sulfoximines. Further study of the reaction mechanism and its applications are ongoing in our laboratory. Experimental section Procedure for the Synthesis of N-Sulfenyl sulfoximines (3aa-3aj): Sulfoximines (0.23 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) was added to a 25 mL round-bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar. Then N-Thiosuccinimides (0.23 mmol, 1.0 equiv.), Tween 80 (0.46 mmol, 2.0 equiv.) and water (4 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir under air at 50 °C for 12 h. Then added N-thiosuccinimides (0.23 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) sequentially and allowed to stir for another 12 h. After completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 5 mL). The organic layer was combined, washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and the solvent was evaporated to dryness. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography (EtOAc/Petroleoumether with 0.3% trimethylamine) to obtain the desired pure product.
