upporting Information Cooperative Activating Effect of DM-Tertiary Amine on Elemental ulfur: Direct Access to Thioaurones from 2 -Nitrochalcones under Mild Conditions Thanh Binh Nguyen,* and Pascal Retailleau General information Reagents were obtained from commercial supplier and used without further purification. Analytical thin layer chromatography (TLC) was purchased from Merck KGaA (silica gel 60 F254). Visualization of the chromatogram was performed by UV light (254 nm) or phosphomolybdic acid or vanilline stains. Flash column chromatography was carried out using kieselgel 35-70 µm particle sized silica gel (230-400 mesh). NMR Chemical shifts are reported in (δ) ppm relative to tetramethylsilane (TM) with the residual solvent as internal reference (CDCl 3, δ 7.26 ppm for 1 H and δ 77.0 ppm for 13 C). Data are reported as follows: chemical shift, multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, m = multiplet), coupling constants (Hz) and integration. 2 -Nitrochalcones 1 were prepared by Claisen-chmidt condensation of 2 -nitroacetophenones with aromatic aldehydes according to precedent literature report. 1 General procedure for the reaction of 2 -nitrochalcone with elemental sulfur A mixture of 2 -nitrochalcone 1 (0.2 mmol), sulfur (32 mg, 1mmol), triethylethylamine (101 mg, 1mmol) or N-methylpiperidine (99 mg, 1mmol), and DM (78 mg, 1 mmol) was stirred at rt or indicated temperatures (Table 1, chemes 2-3) under an argon atmosphere for 16 h. The residue was directly purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent heptane:toluene or toluene:etac) to afford the product 2 as yellow or orange solid. The 1 mmol scale reaction applied for substrate 1a with Et 3 N as a base was performed in the same manner and provided the corresponding thioaurone 2a as a yellow solid (204 mg, 86%).

Crystallographic data collection, structure determination and refinement X-ray tructure Determination of 2m: Performed with a RIGAKU XtaLabPro diffractometer equipped with a Mo microfocus sealed tube generator coupled to a double-bounce confocal Max-Flux multilayer optic and a HPAD PILATU3 R 200K detector, on a yellow crystalline thick plate. Data collection and reduction software (CrysalisPro). [1] Crystal data: C 16 H 9 F 3, M 306.29 g.mol 1, 0.520 x 0.210 x 0.060 mm 3, monoclinic, space group: P 2 1 /c, Mo-Kα, 0.71073 Å, T = 293 K, unit cell dimensions: a = 14.8357(19), b = 6.1102(8), c = 15.654(2) Å, β = 106.995(16), V = 1357.1(3) Å 3, Z = 4, D calcd. = 1.499 g.cm 3, absorption μ = 0.268 mm 1, the θ range for data collection was 3.631 30.335, index ranges: -20 h 20, 8 k 5, 22 l 16. Number of reflections collected: 9517; independent reflections: 3576 (R int = 0.0294). The structure was solved by intrinsic phasing methods (HELXT program) [2] tructure refinement was performed by full-matrix least-squares methods (HELXL-2017/1 program) [3] on 218 parameters, weighted refinement: w = 1/[σ 2 (F 2 o ) + (0.0547P) 2 + 0.3136P] with P = [max(f 2 o,0) + 2F 2 o ]/3 and hydrogen atoms located from difference Fourier synthesis and refined isotropically assuming a riding motion model, non-hydrogen atoms improved by anisotropic refinement. Goodness-of-fit on = 1.127, final R indices: R1 = 0.0568, wr2 = 0.1194, the final difference Fourier map showed minimum and maximum values of 0.288 and -0.230 e Å 3, respectively. The CF3 group appears disordered over two positions with site-occupation factors of 0.81(1)/0.19(1) and were refined with distance restraints (HELXL ADI) and enhanced rigid-bond restraint (HELXL RIGU) to maintain physically reasonable displacement ellipsoids.
