- Chiral Ligands in Hypervalent Iodine Compounds: Synthesis and Structures of Binaphthyl-Based λ3-Iodanes
-
Several novel binaphthyl-based chiral hypervalent iodine(III) reagents have been prepared and structurally analysed. Various asymmetric oxidative reactions were applied to evaluate the reactivities and stereoselectivities of those reagents. Moderate to excellent yields were observed; however, very low stereoselectivities were obtained. NMR experiments indicated that these reagents are very easily hydrolysed in either chloroform or DMSO solvents leading to the limited stereoselectivities. It is concluded that the use of chiral ligands is an unsuccessful way to prepare efficient stereoselective iodine(III) reagents.

- A Bimetallic Ag/Ti-Based Coordination Polymer as a Catalyst for Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction and Selective Sulfide Oxidation
-
The first example of heterometallic Ag/Ti bimetallic-based coordination polymer was synthesized using salicylic acid as the ligand. The uniform Ag/Ti?O rod array has efficient electrocatalytic CO2 reduction activity with a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 90.3 % at ?0.88 V (vs RHE) and a maximum TOF of 658 h?1 at ?1.08 V. The chemical catalytic property of the Ag/Ti?O rod was also studied, and the results showed that the Ag/Ti?O rod has good catalytic performance for selective oxidation of sulfide to sulfoxide.

- Two enantiocomplementary Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases newly identified for asymmetric oxyfunctionalization of thioether
-
Two enantiocomplementary Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases RaBVMO and AmBVMO were identified by genome mining for the asymmetric sulfoxidation. Both recombinant BVMOs have optimal pH of 9.0 and temperature of 35 °C. The half-lives of RaBVMO and AmBVMO at 30 °C were 24.4 and 24.6 h. RaBVMO and AmBVMO exhibited broad substrate spectrum and could catalyze the oxidization of various compounds including fatty ketones, cyclic ketones, and thioethers. Kinetic parameters analysis revealed that both RaBVMO and AmBVMO displayed higher catalytic efficiency toward thioanisole than cyclohexanone. As much as 50 mM thioanisole could be completely oxidized by AmBVMO and RaBVMO with 99% (R) and 95% (S), respectively. Molecular docking analysis further provides evidence for the complementary enantioselectivity of RaBVMO and AmBVMO. Our results demonstrate the potential application of the two novel BVMOs in asymmetric synthesis of sulfoxides.

A facile and efficient visible-light-mediated method for directly converting sulfides into sulfoxides under clean conditions without using any photocatalysts is reported. This method exhibited favourable compatibility with functional groups and afforded a series of sulfoxides with high selectivity and yields. Moreover, in order to shed more light on such a transformation, detailed mechanism studies were carried out both experimentally and theoretically.

- Covalent Organic Frameworks toward Diverse Photocatalytic Aerobic Oxidations
-
Photoactive two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D-COFs) have become promising heterogenous photocatalysts in visible-light-driven organic transformations. Herein, a visible-light-driven selective aerobic oxidation of various small organic molecules by using 2D-COFs as the photocatalyst was developed. In this protocol, due to the remarkable photocatalytic capability of hydrazone-based 2D-COF-1 on molecular oxygen activation, a wide range of amides, quinolones, heterocyclic compounds, and sulfoxides were obtained with high efficiency and excellent functional group tolerance under very mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, benefiting from the inherent advantage of heterogenous photocatalysis, prominent sustainability and easy photocatalyst recyclability, a drug molecule (modafinil) and an oxidized mustard gas simulant (2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfoxide) were selectively and easily obtained in scale-up reactions. Mechanistic investigations were conducted using radical quenching experiments and in situ ESR spectroscopy, all corroborating the proposed role of 2D-COF-1 in photocatalytic cycle.

- Accelerated Oxidation of Organic Sulfides by Microdroplet Chemistry
-
We report the rapid oxidation of organic sulfides to sulfoxides by means of microdroplet chemistry at room temperature using a spray solution containing an organic sulfide dissolved in water/methanol, dilute (11%-14%) sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), and 5% chloroauric acid (HAuCl4). Ultrasonic nebulization, easy ambient sonic-spray ionization, or electrosonic spray ionization serves as the microdroplet source. High-resolution mass spectrometry was used as an online detector, and nuclear magnetic resonance was used as an offline detector. We found that the sulfoxide yields vary between 66 and 95%, the highest rate of product formation is 195 mg/min for benzyl phenyl sulfoxide, and the time required is a few minutes, which is much less than that required for the conventional means of achieving this chemical transformation. We also applied this microdroplet method to protein fingerprinting. We found that protein sequences containing methionine can be quickly oxidized, providing useful information for protein structure determinations.

We have developed an eco-friendly and chemo-selective photocatalytic synthesis of sulfoxides or sulfones via oxidation of sulfides (thioethers) at ambient temperature using air or O2 as the oxidant. An inexpensive thioxanthone was used as the photocatalyst. Our method offers excellent chemical yields and good functional group tolerance. The hydrogen bonding between hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) and sulfoxides may play an important role in minimizing the over-oxidization of sulfoxides.

- Lanthanide complexes based on an anthraquinone derivative ligand and applications as photocatalysts for visible-light driving photooxidation reactions
-
Four isostructural lanthanide coordination complexes based on 3,7-diamino-9,10-anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (dianionic, L) have been synthesized by hydrothermal method, namely [Er(L)(H2O)6]?[Er(H2O)8]?2L?8H2O (Er-L), [Tm(L)(H2O)6]?[Tm(H2O)8]?2L?8.5H2O (Tm-L), [Yb(L)(H2O)6]?[Yb(H2O)8]?2L?9H2O (Yb-L), [Lu(L)(H2O)6]?[Lu(H2O)8]?2L?9H2O (Lu-L). Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals the existence of both coordinated and free ligand L in the crystal structure. Versatile sulfonate groups on these distinct L ligands, together with very rich coordinated and lattice water molecules, form a lot of hydrogen-bonding motifs that contribute to the stabilization of the crystal packing. It is interesting that the ligands stack into columns through strong π-π interactions and the centroid-centroid distances are between 3.281 and 3.331 ?. These ligands are stacked in an alternate off-set mode to avoid the steric hindrance between the bulky sulfonate groups, generating a repeated structural unit involving six stacked ligands. These lanthanide complexes proved to be good heterogeneous photocatalyst for promoting the visible-light driving photooxidation reactions of diarylacetylenes and thioethers. The Er-L complex exhibited the best catalytic activity and showed good catalytic efficiency over a wide range of substrates for both reaction systems. The Er-L photocatalyst can be easily isolated by simple filtration as crystalline material upon completion of the photooxidation reaction without structure change, and can be recycled for at least five catalytic cycles with persistent catalytic efficiency without any need of activation or regeneration. This family of lanthanide complexes represent a category of promising heterogeneous photocatalysts in terms of green chemistry, with the potential of promoting organic transformations highly efficiently under the irradiation of visible light.

- Preparation of S-2-halophenyl-2,1-benzothiazines

Derivatives of 2,1-benzothiazines are useful synthetic intermediates for a variety of applications. We became interested in developing a one-pot procedure to S-2-halophenyl-2,1-benzothiazines as potential precursors to P,N type ligands for metals. Accordingly, we reacted S-2-halophenyl-S-methylsulfoximines with 2-bromobenzaldehydes using the Buchwald-Hartwig reaction under conditions previously developed in our laboratory. We found that 2-halophenylmethyl sulfoximines show lower reactivity in process than methylphenyl sulfoximine. Among the 2-(S)-2-halophenyl-(S)-methylsulfoximines tested, S-2-fluorophenyl-S-methyl sulfoximine afforded higher yields of benzothiazines than the bromine- or chlorine-substituted congeners. In the coupling of S-2-halophenyl-S-methylsulfoximines to 2-bromobenzaldehyde, using Ruphos as a ligand gave the best yields.

Structure analysis reveals that the polyoxoanion of 1/2 is a discrete dimer built by two trivalent Keggin [B-α-XW9O34]10- (X = Si/Ge) fragments and one octa-Cu cluster, whereas 3 and 4 display a two-dimensional network built by octa-Cu-sandwiched POT units via substitution of coordinated water on polyanions of 1 and 2 and further expand into a three-dimensional framework via K cation bridges. Ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectra reveal that 1-4 are potential semiconductor materials.

- Visible-Light-Driven Oxidative Cleavage of Alkenes Using Water-Soluble CdSe Quantum Dots
-
The oxidative cleavage of C=C bonds is an important chemical reaction, which is a popular reaction in the photocatalytic field. However, high catalyst-loading and low turnover number (TON) are general shortcomings in reported visible-light-driven reactions. Herein, the direct oxidative cleavage of C=C bonds through water-soluble CdSe quantum dots (QDs) is described under visible-light irradiation at room temperature with high TON (up to 3.7×104). Under the same conditions, water-soluble CdSe QDs could also oxidize sulfides to sulfoxides with 51–84 % yields and TONs up to 3.4×104. The key features of this photocatalytic protocol include high TONs, wide substrates scope, low catalyst loadings, simple and mild reaction conditions, and molecular O2 as the oxidant.

- Accurate Regulating of Visible-Light Absorption in Polyoxotitanate-Calix[8]arene Systems by Ligand Modification
-
With use of a macrocyclic polyphenol, tert-butylcalix[8]arene (TBC[8]), as ligands, a series of TBC[8]-stabilized {Ti4O2}clusters, containing penta- and hexacoordinated Ti centers, were synthesized. Such complexes are "core-shell" shaped containing a {Ti4O2} core arranged in a zigzag fashion. While outer walls of the clusters are decorated by deprotonated TBC[8], their upper and lower surfaces can be modified by various O- or N-donor ligands, and the ratio of the penta- and hexacoordinated Ti(IV) centers in the {Ti4O2} core can be precisely regulated from 4:0, to 3:1, to 2:2, to 1:3, and finally to 0:4. The combined coordination of different ligands in the axial direction shows significant influence on the adsorption of the TBC[8]-Ti4 system in the visible-light region, and their absorption edge can be precisely regulated from 600 to 700 nm. The above structural functionalization in the TBC[8]-Ti4 system also tunes their photocatalytic H2 production activities and oxidative desulfurization ability. Thus, for the first time, by confining the polyoxotitanium cluster in macrocyclic molecules, we provide an example of understanding the structure-property relationship of titanium-oxygen materials by ligand modification.

Three novel Zr-substituted polyoxotungstate aggregates [H2N(CH3)2]7NaH2[Zr2Sb2O3(A-α-PW9O34)2]·16H2O (1), [H2N(CH3)2]6H12[ZrSb4(OH)O2(A-α-PW8O32)(A-α-PW9O34)]2·33H2O (2), and [H2N(CH3)2]4Na11.5H4.5[Zr4W8Sb4P5O49(OH)5(B-α-SbW9O33)2]·53H2O (3) have been made in hydrothermal reactions of the [B-α-SbW9O33]9- precursor with Zr4+ cations and PO43- anions in the presence of dimethylamine hydrochloride and sodium acetate buffer (pH = 4.8) and structurally characterized. Different pH values induce structural transformation from tungstoantimonate (TA) to tungstophosphate (TP). 1 is a di-Zr-substituted sandwich-type TP, the tetranuclear heterometallic [Zr2Sb2O3]8+ entity sandwiched by two [A-α-PW9O34]9- moieties. 2 is a double sandwich-type structure, which can be perceived as two equivalent sandwiched [Sb3(PW8O32)(PW9O34)]11- further sandwiching one [Sb2Zr2(OH)2O4]4+ core to form a novel large-size sandwich-type architecture. Different from 1 and 2, 3 is a tetra-Zr-substituted sandwiched configuration, in which two [B-α-SbW9O33]9- fragments sandwich a unique 21-core Sb-P-W-Zr oxo cluster ({Zr4W8Sb4P5}). Furthermore, the catalytic oxidation of aromatic thioethers by 3 as the heterogeneous catalyst has been investigated, showing high conversion and remarkable selectivity as well as excellent recyclability.

- Electrochemical oxidations of thioethers: Modulation of oxidation potential using a hydrogen bonding network
-
A highly efficient chemo-selective electrochemical oxidation of thioethers to sulfoxides and sulfones was developed. The hydrogen bonding network generated from hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) and acetic acid (AcOH) plays an important role in the modulation of oxidation potential. The hydrogen bonding network complexes strongly with the sulfoxide, making it less prone to further oxidation. Therefore, thioethers can be selectively electrochemically oxidized to sulfoxides and over-oxidization could be minimized. Moreover, this modulation of oxidization via hydrogen bonding was supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and cyclic voltammetry experiments.

- Synthesis and nano-Pd catalyzed chemoselective oxidation of symmetrical and unsymmetrical sulfides
-
A highly chemoselective, efficient and nano-Pd catalyzed protocol for the rapid construction of sulfoxides and sulfones via the oxidation of symmetrical and unsymmetrical sulfides using H2O2 as an oxidant has been developed, respectively. The ready availability of starting materials, easy recovery and reutilization of the catalyst, wide substrate scope, and high yields make this protocol an attractive alternative. The process also involves the metal-free and microwave-promoted synthesis of symmetrical diarylsulfides, and FeCl3-mediated preparation of symmetrical diaryldisulfides through the reaction of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates with Na2S·9H2O as a sulfur source. In addition, unsymmetrical sulfides were generated via the K2CO3-mediated reaction of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates with symmetrical disulfides.

- Switchable Synthesis of Aryl Sulfones and Sulfoxides through Solvent-Promoted Oxidation of Sulfides with O2/Air
-
A practical and switchable method for the synthesis of aryl sulfones and sulfoxides via sulfide oxidation was developed. The chemoselectivities of products were simply controlled by reaction temperature using O2/air as the terminal oxidant and oxygen source. The broad substrate scope, easy realization of gram-scale production, and the simplification of a sulfide oxidation system render the strategy attractive and valuable.

- A New Hepta-Nuclear Ti-Oxo-Cluster-Substituted Tungstoantimonate and Its Catalytic Oxidation of Thioethers
-
A neoteric hepta-nuclear Ti-oxo-cluster-substituted tetrameric tungstoantimonate [H2N(CH3)2]22Na18{Ti7O6(SbW9O33)4}2·124H2O (1) has hydrothermally been synthesized and tested by single-crystal/powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectra, and thermal analysis. The glamorous feature of this tetrameric polyoxoanion is an uncommon hepta-nuclear Ti-oxo-cluster octahedron [Ti7O6]16+ enclosed in four [B-α-SbW9O33]9- building units. As a heterogeneous catalyst, the investigation on catalytic oxidation with H2O2 for multiple thioethers indicated that 1 possesses high conversion and remarkable selectivity. Additionally, 1 exhibits good stability and excellent recyclability.

- Efficient synthesis of 3-benzoyl Benzo[b]thiophenes and raloxifene via Mercury(II)-Catalyzed cyclization of 2-alkynylphenyl alkyl sulfoxides
-
The unique selective estrogen receptor modulator, Raloxifene (1), and antitubulin agent 2 were synthesized through the key intermediate, 4-methoxybenzyl 2-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl sulfoxide (6), respectively. It was found that compared with the o-sulfanyl aryl bromides, the sulfinyl group at ortho position accelerated the Sonogashira coupling reaction of aryl bromides. Thus, compound 6 was coupled with 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl acetylene, followed by mercury-catalyzed cyclization reaction afford compound 2 in 79% overall yield. Raloxifene (1) was prepared from compound 6 in four steps and 33% overall yield via coupling reaction with 1-trimethylsily-2-(4-tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)phenylethyne, mercury-catalyzed cyclization reaction, alkylation and demethylation.

- Carbazole-triazine based donor-acceptor porous organic frameworks for efficient visible-light photocatalytic aerobic oxidation reactions
-
We report the synthesis of a series of carbazole-triazine based donor-acceptor (D-A) POFs and their photocatalytic activities for aerobic oxidation reactions. The simultaneous introduction of a carbazole-based electron donor and a triazine-based electron acceptor in D-A POFs stabilizes the charge transfer state and enables an efficient triplet-triplet energy transfer to generate 1O2. Meanwhile, systematic variation of the D-A distance results in the tunable photoredox properties and consequently the efficiency for generation of reactive oxygen species (ROSs). Upon visible light excitation, all three D-A POFs exhibit excellent capability to promote three aerobic oxidations: sulfide oxidation, oxidative amine coupling, and Mannich reactions. This systematic study validates the design principle of D-A POFs as high-performance photo-oxidation catalysts with wide substrate scope and excellent stability and recyclability.

- Modular Polyoxometalate–Layered Double Hydroxides as Efficient Heterogeneous Sulfoxidation and Epoxidation Catalysts
-
The selective sulfoxidation of sulfides and the epoxidation of olefins are two types of important organic reactions, and the corresponding products of sulfoxides, sulfones and epoxides are used widely as raw materials in industrial processes. The fabrication of one efficient catalyst for both reactions remains a challenging task. We report the preparation of a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst Mg3Al-ILs-La(PW11)2 using an exfoliation/assembly approach. The catalyst was characterised by FT-IR spectroscopy, XRD, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis, BET measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, 29Si cross-polarisation magic-angle spinning NMR spectroscopy, 27Al magic-angle spinning NMR spectroscopy, SEM, high-resolution TEM, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The designed catalyst showed a high efficiency and selectivity for the sulfoxidation of sulfides and the epoxidation of olefins under mild conditions at a production rate of 208 and 31 mmol g?1 h?1, respectively. Moreover, Mg3Al-ILs-La(PW11)2 can be recycled and re-used at least five times without a clear decrease of its catalytic activity. The scaled-up experiments revealed that the catalyst retained its efficiency and robustness, which demonstrates the great potential of the catalyst for industrial applications.
