P-S Bond Formation
Recent Literature
In a Pd-catalyzed dehydrogenative phosphorylation, various thiols couple readily
with H-phosphonates, H-phosphinates, and secondary phosphine
oxides, to provide valuable phosphorothioates including P-chiral compounds. A
plausible mechanism is proposed.

A multicomponent reaction involving aryl boronic acids, elemental sulfur, and
P(O)H compounds provides valuable S-aryl phosphorothioates and S-aryl
phosphorodithioates in excellent yields. Moreover, this method can be easily
scaled up.

Green methods based on copper-catalyzed multicomponent reactions enable the
synthesis of S-aryl phosphorothioates from diaryliodonium/arenediazonium
salts, elemental sulfur, and R2P(O)H compounds in very good yields at
room temperature. These transformations allow the direct formation of P-S and
C-S bonds in one reaction.

A simple and efficient method for the preparation of thiophosphates from
benzenethiols involves copper(I) iodide catalyzed coupling of thiols with
H-phosphonates in the presence of triethylamine. The reaction proceeds
effectively via an aerobic dehydrogenative coupling to afford the corresponding
thiophosphates in good yields.
