A convenient, highly selective and metal-free synthesis of sulfoxides from alkenes and thiols using NHPI as an inexpensive and reusable organophotoredox catalyst is reported. The protocol involves radical thiol-ene/oxidation reaction cascade and utilizes visible light and air (O2) as inexpensive, readily available, non-toxic and eco-sustainable reagents to afford up to 96% yields of the product at room temperature.

A catalyst free and chemoselective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides or sulfones was developed using 1,1,2,2-tetrahydroperoxy-1,2-diphenylethane as a new oxidant. This scope has shown the achievement of various sulfoxides and sulfones which were obtained selectively in high yields at room temperature.

A highly selective synthesis of sulfoxides from alkenes and thiols was established by visible-light photoredox catalysis at room temperature. This metal-free transformation protocol, which uses inexpensive Rose Bengal as the photocatalyst and air as the green oxidant, opens a new door toward the facile and practical construction of sulfoxides.

Background: Sulfoxides and sulfones have been in the center of attention due to their wide range of promises in various approaches. The functional groups presented in these compounds serve as important building blocks in numerous natural, pharmeceutical and agricultural compounds. These deriatives have been prepared through a multitude of routes which were accompanied by several drawbacks. Therefore, there has been an ever-increasing interest to find a new methodology that leads to the production of these compounds via an environmentally benign path bringing about high yields. Recently, gem-dihydroperoxides have attracted much attention due to their oxidizing power and they have been utilized in several oxidation processes. Methods: We carried out a chemoselective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones on treatment with urea-2,2-dihydroperoxypropane, a solid oxidant composed of equal amounts of 2,2-dihydroperoxypropane and urea, using THF as the solvent under catalyst-free conditions at room temprature. Results: Sulfides possessing a variety of substitutions namely dialkyl, diaryl, ally l and alkyl-aryl were subjected to the optimized reaction conditions and they could successfully afford different amounts of sulfoxides and sulfones depending on the amount of the oxidant utilized. Based on the results, electron-donating groups accelerated the reaction while electron-withdrawing substituents lowered the reactivity. Conclusion: Urea-2,2-dihydroperoxypropane as a solid oxidant which can be stored for several months without any loss in its activity has proved its capability to oxidize sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones under catalyst-free and mild conditions. This approach is a cost-effective and environmentally benign methodology via which the products have been synthesized in high yields and short reaction times.

A one-pot process for the synthesis of unsymmetrical sulfoxides using organometallic nucleophiles is described. Sulfur dioxide, delivered from the surrogate DABSO (DABCO-bis(sulfur dioxide)), acts as the initial electrophile and combines with the first organometallic reagent to generate a sulfinate intermediate. In situ conversion of the sulfinate to a sulfinate silyl ester, using TMS-Cl (trimethylsilyl chloride), generates a second electrophile, allowing addition of a second organometallic reagent. Organolithium or Grignard reagents can be employed, delivering sulfoxides in good to excellent yields.

A new polymer-anchored Cu(II) complex has been synthesized and characterized. The catalytic performance of the complex has been tested for the oxidation of sulfides and in oxidative bromination reaction with hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant. Sulfides have been selectively oxidized to the corresponding sulfoxides in excellent yields and in the presence of KBr as the bromine source, organic substrates have been selectively converted to mono bromo substituted compounds using polymer-anchored Cu(II) catalyst. This catalyst showed excellent catalytic activity, high selectivity, and recyclability. The polymer-anchored Cu(II) catalyst could be easily recovered by filtration and reused more than five times without appreciable loss of its initial activity.

Copper(II) complex 1 catalyzes the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides with 30% H2O2 in high yields. Addition of a catalytic amount of TEMPO to the reaction mixture enhances the conversion and selectivity. Complex 1 can be recycled without loss of activity.
