Reductive desulfurization of allylic thiols by HS-/H2S in water gives clue to chemical reactions widespread in natural environments.

The reduction of allylic thiols to alkenes by hydrogen sulfide in aqueous solutions, a novel reaction that may explain reduction processes widely occurring in natural environments, has been discovered. Its mechanism has been studied and suggested to follow an S(RN)1-like pathway involving radical intermediates undergoing 1,4 hydrogen shifts. [reaction: see text]

Photo-oxygenation of phytol and the structure revision of phytene-1,2-diol from Artemisia annua to phytene-1-ol-2-hydroperoxide

Photo-oxygenation of racemic phytol has yielded two secondary allylic hydroperoxides and an endoperoxide hemiacetal, which are the expected products from the "ene-type" reaction of singlet oxygen with the tri-substituted double bond in phytol. Spectral properties for one of the diastereoisomers of phytene-1-ol-2-hydroperoxide obtained from synthesis are shown to be identical with those of a natural product previously reported from Artemisia annua, which, it is concluded, was wrongly assigned as phytene-1,2-diol.
