Highly efficient metal-free reductive coupling reactions of aldehydes and ketones with a range of nucleophiles in the presence of triflic acid (1-5 mol %) as the catalyst are presented. The reactions can be performed at ambient temperature without exclusion of moisture or air. A range of symmetrical and unsymmetrical ethers were obtained by this method in high yields and short reaction times. For the first time, the influence of additional functionalization has been studied. Furthermore, the formation of thioethers from ketones (by addition of unmodified thiols) and of sulfonamides from either aldehydes or ketones has been achieved under catalytic conditions.

Optically active sulfoxides are compounds of high interest in organic chemistry. Herein, we report the preparation of a set of chiral heteroaryl alkyl, cyclohexyl alkyl, and alkyl alkyl sulfoxides by using enantioselective sulfoxidation reactions employing three Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs). Careful selection of the reaction conditions, starting sulfide, and biocatalyst can be used to achieve good to excellent enantiomeric excess values. Thus, valuable chiral synthons can be obtained by performing the reactions under mild and environmentally friendly conditions. The most promising biotransformations that employ a BVMO cell-free extract preparation have been developed on a 250-mg scale to give the chiral sulfoxides in high yields in most of the reactions.

Ionic liquid promoted regio- And stereoselective addition of thiols to alkynes and alkenes under organic solvent free condition - A green reaction
Ranu, Brindaban C.,Chattopadhyay, Kalicharan,Ghosh, Sudip,Jana, Ranjan
experimental part, p. 1199 - 1204 (2009/12/31)
A simple ionic liquid, l-methyl-3-pentylimidazolium fluoroborate, [pmIm]BF4, promotes anti-Markovnikov addition of thiols to alkynes providing (Z)- and (E)-vinyl sulfides stereoselectively. The addition of thiols to alkenes in presence of another ionic liquid, [pmim]Br proceeds through anti-Markovnikov manner, whereas the addition to vinyl ethers and acetates occurs at more electrophilic C-2 position adjacent to oxygen. The products are obtained in high yields.
