A highly chemoselective oxidation of allylic and vinylic sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides has been developed using flavin 1 as the oxidation catalyst and hydrogen peroxide as the terminal oxidant. The sulfoxides were formed in good to excellent yields in a highly selective manner even when an excess of the oxidant was used. Sulfone formation was completely suppressed to 0.5% (in one single case 1.5% sulfone was detected). No epoxidation of double bonds or interference with other functional groups was observed under the reaction conditions. The general applicability was demonstrated by the selective oxidation of various allylic and vinylic sulfides having different electronic properties. A number of functionalities including hydroxy, acetoxy, amino, silyloxy, and formyl groups are tolerated under these mild reaction conditions.

Alkyne-ω-sulphenic acids formed by thermolysis of ω-(t-butylsulphinyl)alkynes at 40 deg C cyclized regiospecifically to 2-methylenethiacycloalkane 1-oxides; 2-methylenethietan 1-oxide was not formed in this way. 2-Methylpropane-2-sulphenic acid, obtained by heating di-t-butyl sulphoxide, added regioselectively to oct-1-yne to give predominantly 2-t-butylsulphinyloct-1-ene, which itself decomposed thermally to a mixture of dioctenyl sulphoxides by way of alkenesulphenic acid-dialkyl sulphine interconversions.Benzenesulphenic acid, methanesulphenic acid, and ethoxycarbonylmethanesulphenic acid, conveniently generated by thermolysis of 1-cyano-2-alkyl(or aryl)sulphinylethanes, underwent intermolecular addition to unactivated and activated alkynes regioselectively to give alkenyl sulphoxides in good yields.
