A new route to benzyl thioether derivatives has been developed via the N-heterocyclic carbene palladium(II)-catalyzed cross coupling of benzylammonium salts with thiophenols. Under the optimal conditions, different benzylammonium salts could be well toler

We have developed an eco-friendly and chemo-selective photocatalytic synthesis of sulfoxides or sulfones via oxidation of sulfides (thioethers) at ambient temperature using air or O2 as the oxidant. An inexpensive thioxanthone was used as the photocatalyst. Our method offers excellent chemical yields and good functional group tolerance. The hydrogen bonding between hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) and sulfoxides may play an important role in minimizing the over-oxidization of sulfoxides.
Metal-free oxidative coupling of alkyl chlorides with thiols: An efficient access to sulfoxides

An efficient and step-economical access to sulfoxides from thiols and alkyl halides in the presence of I2O5 and DBU via direct oxidative couplings is described here. It is the first case that combined Williamson sulfide synthesis and subsequent sulfide oxidation into one step manipulation for sulfoxides preparation. This protocol features wide substrate scope, mild and metal-free conditons, the use of naturally abundant starting materials and avoidance of over-oxidation.
