Sulfoxide and Sulfone Synthesis via Electrochemical Oxidation of Sulfides

The oxidation of diaryl sulfides and aryl alkyl sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones under electrochemical conditions is reported. Sulfoxides are selectively obtained in good yield under a constant current of 5 mA for 10 h in DMF, while sulfones are formed as the major product under a constant current of 10 or 20 mA for 10 h in MeOH. The oxygen of both the sulfoxide and sulfone function is derived from water.

Catalyst-free visible-light-initiated oxidative coupling of aryldiazo sulfones with thiols leading to unsymmetrical sulfoxides in air

A facile and efficient visible-light-driven method has been developed to construct sulfoxides via oxidative coupling of aryldiazo sulfones with thiols using the O2 in air as the oxidant. This reaction could be performed at room temperature under catalyst- and additive-free conditions. The present methodology offers a mild and environmentally benign approach to obtain a library of sulfoxides in good yields with favorable functional group tolerance.

Palladium/PC-Phos-Catalyzed Enantioselective Arylation of General Sulfenate Anions: Scope and Synthetic Applications

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.
