The reaction of perpropionic acid CH3CH3CO 3H (1) with thioanisole (4) and p-substituted thioanisoles [p-methoxy (2), p-methyl (3), p-bromo (5), and p-nitro (6)] in stoechiometric proportion has been carried out in micellar medium (cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, CTACl). Studies of the influence of the pH, the temperature and the substitution of the thioanisole, provide a better understanding of the sulfoxides (2a-6a) formation. Ab initio calculations have been achieved and the oxidation reaction has been studied in detail in aqueous medium (pH = 11).

A scalable reduction of sulfoxides to sulfides in a sustainable way remains an unmet challenge. This report discloses an electrochemical reduction of sulfoxides on a large scale (>10 g) under mild reaction conditions. Sulfoxides are activated using a substoichiometric amount of the Lewis acid AlCl3, which could be regeneratedviaa combination of inexpensive aluminum anode with chloride anion. This deoxygenation process features a broad substrate scope, including acid-labile substrates and drug molecules.

The cobalt species PPh4[CoIII(TAMLred)] is a competent and stable catalyst for the sulfimidation of (aryl)(alkyl)-substituted sulfides with iminoiodinanes, reaching turnover numbers up to 900 and turnover frequencies of 640 min?1 under mild and aerobic conditions. The sulfimidation proceeds in a highly chemoselective manner, even in the presence of alkenes or weak C?H bonds, as supported by inter- and intramolecular competition experiments. Functionalization of the sulfide substituent with various electron-donating and electron-withdrawing arenes and several alkyl, benzyl and vinyl fragments is tolerated, with up to quantitative product yields. Sulfimidation of phenyl allyl sulfide led to [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the initially formed sulfimide species to afford the corresponding N-allyl-S-phenyl-thiohydroxylamines as attractive products. Mechanistic studies suggest that the actual nitrene transfer to the sulfide proceeds via (previously characterized) electrophilic nitrene radical intermediates that afford the sulfimide products via electronically asynchronous transition states, in which SET from the sulfide to the nitrene radical complex precedes N?S bond formation in a single concerted process.

The results of this study show that disilathiane is an effective mediator in the synthesis of alkyl aryl sulfides with disulfides and alkyl carboxylates. Mechanistic studies suggest that disilathiane promotes cleavage of the sulfur–sulfur bond of disulfides to generate thiosilane as a key intermediate. Diselenides were also applicable to this transformation to produce the corresponding selenides.
