A unique palladium-catalyzed arylation of alkyl sulfenate anions is introduced that affords aryl alkyl sulfoxides in high yields. Due to the base sensitivity of the starting sulfoxides, sulfenate anion intermediates, and alkyl aryl sulfoxide products, the use of a mild method to generate alkyl sulfenate anions was crucial to the success of this process. Thus, a fluoride triggered elimination strategy was employed with alkyl 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfoxides to liberate the requisite alkyl sulfenate anion intermediates. In the presence of palladium catalysts with bulky monodentate phosphines (SPhos and Cy-CarPhos) and aryl bromides or chlorides, alkyl sulfenate anions were readily arylated. Moreover, the thermal fragmentation and the base promoted elimination of alkyl sulfoxides was overridden. The alkyl sulfenate anion arylation exhibited excellent chemoselectivity in the presence of functional groups, such as anilines and phenols, which are also known to undergo palladium catalyzed arylation reactions.

The preparation of a collection of alkyl, aryl, and 1-alkenyl 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfoxides is outlined, using mostly vinyltrimethylsilane or 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethanesulfenyl chloride (5) as key starting materials. The 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group can be cleaved from many of the sulfoxides under oxidative fragmentation conditions using sulfuryl chloride and the reaction represents a new protocol for sulfinyl chloride synthesis. The method is suitable for most alkane- and arenesulfinyl chlorides (3), but is limited to highly substituted vinylic sulfinyl chlorides. 1-Alkenyl 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfoxides with reduced double bond substitution (6, 7, 11) succumb to reactions involving chlorination of the double bond. The β-effect of silicon is invoked to explain the ability of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group to induce C-S bond scission under the oxidative cleavage reaction conditions. A mechanism is offered to account for the role played by the β-silicon atom of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group. Indeed, the silicon atom is self-sacrificial in that it diverts the course of the reaction from the usual α-carbon chlorination mode to one of oxidative cleavage, whereby the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group is lost. The overall reaction calls upon the ability of silicon atoms to donate electron density by hyperconjugation.
The reaction of 2-trimethylsilylethyl sulfoxides with sulfuryl chloride. A fragmentation route to sulfinyl chlorides

Sulfinyl chlorides were prepared in good to excellent yields by reacting aryl or alkyl 2-trimethylsilylethyl sulfoxides with SO2Cl2.
