Herein we reported an efficient palladium-catalyzed enantioselective arylation of both alkyl and aryl sulfenate anions to deliver various chiral sulfoxides in good yields (up to 98%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) by the use of our developed chiral O,P-ligands (PC-Phos). PC-Phos are easily prepared in short steps from inexpensive commercially available starting materials. The single-crystal structure of the PC4/PdCl2 showed that a rarely observed 11-membered ring was formed via the O,P-coordination with the palladium(II) center. The salient features of this method include general substrate scope, ease of scale-up, applicable to the late-stage modification of bioactive compounds, and the synthesis of a marketed medicine Sulindac.

Sulfoxides are important functional molecules. We develop a short-route (one-pot) synthesis of this class of molecules by reacting thiols with alkenes or alkynes under mild and metal-free conditions. N-Fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) is used to play dual roles: as a radical initiator for a thiol-ene/-yne reaction to form sulfide adducts, and as efficient oxidant for conversion of the sulfides formed in situ to sulfoxides. Over-oxidation of the sulfoxides to sulfones is avoided in our approach.

A highly efficient synthetic methodology towards the selective synthesis of sulfoxides and sulfones is reported using a cheap and green organocatalytic method. Starting from sulfides and using 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone as the organocatalyst and H2O2 as the oxidant, the high-yielding preparation of sulfoxides or sulfones is described, being dependent on the reaction conditions.
