Phenylsulfenylation of unsaturated acids and alcohols has been achieved by methyl phenyl sulfoxide (PhSOCH3) and substoichiometric (COCl)2 in CH3CN. The corresponding cyclization products, lactones with a phenylthio group from unsaturated acids were obtained in mediate to good yields, whereas the cyclic ethers with a phenylthio group from unsaturated alcohols in relatively low yields. PhSOH was proposed to be the key active species for phenylsulfenylation, which was generated in situ by the reaction of PhSOCH3 with substiochiometric amount of (COCl)2. Anhydrous HCl could replace (COCl)2 in the reactions to give the comparable results.

This study describes a novel and catalyst-free methodology for the multicomponent synthesis of a broad range of sulfones, disulfides, and sulfides from non-toxic triarylbismuthines (Ar3Bi) and sodium metabisulfite (Na2S2O5) in deep eutectic solvents (DESs). The fine tuning of the DESs properties allowed the solubility of all reagents, enhancing their reactivity, as well as, the recyclability of the reaction medium for at least 5 consecutive cycles. Thus, this versatile strategy uses non-toxic reagents without the need of metal catalysts in a sustainable solvent, being an interesting alternative to traditional hazardous protocols.

We report a full account on the development of a unique cationic polyene cyclization for the total synthesis of the tetracyclic meroterpenoid (?)-cyclosmenospongine. A highly convergent three-component coupling strategy enabled rapid access to individual cyclization precursors that were tested for their reactivity. The successful transformation generates three rings and sets four consecutive stereocenters in a single operation proceeding in a highly efficient manner to give exclusively the trans-decalin framework. In addition, we found that the enol ether geometry and the relative configuration of C3 and C8 are crucial for the success of the polyene cyclization.
