- A practical and chemoselective Mo-catalysed sulfoxide reduction protocol using a 3-mercaptopropyl-functionalized silica gel (MPS)
-
A convenient sulfoxide deoxygenation procedure using a mercaptopropyl-functionalized silica gel as the reducing agent is described. This new protocol based on a heterogeneous reagent displays broad scope and tolerance to reducible functional groups and, from an experimental point of view, enhances previous methods by simplifying the isolation of the sulfide to a simple filtration.

- An unprecedented use for glycerol: Chemoselective reducing agent for sulfoxides
-
A new application for glycerol that expands its possibilities beyond a green solvent and a precursor of value-added products has been demonstrated. Simple, easily available, and environmentally friendly dioxomolybdenum(vi) complexes are highly efficient catalysts for the chemoselective sulfoxide deoxygenation with this biomass-derived chemical feedstock. Both refined glycerol and crude glycerin can be used, thus expanding the potential application of this reaction. Subsequent transformation of glycerol during this reductive process has also been investigated.

- Pinacol as a new green reducing agent: Molybdenum-catalyzed chemoselective reduction of sulfoxides and nitroaromatics
-
Pinacol is disclosed as a new chemoselective and environmentally benign reducing agent for sulfoxides and nitroaromatics assisted by readily available dichlorodioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes as catalysts. A wide range of substrates including those bearing challenging functional groups has been efficiently and selectively reduced with acetone and water being the only by-products of these reactions.

- Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of novel anti-varicella-zoster virus (VZV) nucleosides
-
A series of alkyl-aryl, -phenoxy, and -thiophenoxy bicyclic furo pyrimidine nucleosides have been successfully synthesised by Pd-coupling of 5-iodo-2′-deoxyuridine (IDU) with terminal alkynes, followed by in situ copper-cyclisation. Synthesised compounds (4a-i) showed an anti-VZV activity at low μM concentration, comparable to that of current treatment acyclovir.

- Tin Radical Addition to Alkynyl Sulfides: Reactivity of the Intermediate Thioalkyl-Substituted β-(Tributylstannyl)vinyl Radicals
-
Phenyl and benzyl alkynyl sulfides 1a-g and 3a, phenylalkynylamines 19a,b, ethers 22a,b, and selenide 31 reacted with tributyltin radicals to give intermediate β-stannylvinyl radicals, whose fate depended on the nature of the side chain. 4-Phenylthio-substituted but-1-en-2-yl radicals underwent stereospecific 5-exo cyclization on the adjacent phenyl ring.The resulting spirocyclohexadienyl radicals gave thiophenes and thiopyrans by carbon-sulfur bond scission or ring expansion on the exocyclic double bond, respectively.Similar behavior was exhibited by the corresponding selenium-containing radical, which afforded a selenophene almost exclusively. (Benzylthio)alkyl-substituted radicals gave products deriving from intramolecular SH2 substitution at the sulfur atom, whereas propargyl sulfides yielded a stannylallene via a β-scission reaction.No 6(or more)-membered ring closure was observed with pentynyl and hexynyl phenyl sulfides 1b,c, which gave only the (E)-addition products of tin hydride; oxygen- and nitrogen-containing vinyl radicals also gave the (E)-adducts exclusively.An interaction between the unpaired electron orbital and the empty low-energy orbitals of the heteroatom might explain why sulfur and selenium can undergo 5-exo cyclization.
