Oxidation of Alcohols by Metallic Nitrates Supported on Silica Gel

Several metallic nitrates supported on silica gel efficiently oxidized secondary alcohols and primary benzyl and allyl alcohols to the corresponding ketones and aldehydes under mild conditions.Especially, Cu(NO3)2 and Zn(NO3)2 are suitable for practical use.Silica gel was essential for the efficient oxidation in any case.Overoxidation of the formed aldehydes was not observed.Some mechanistic studies suggest that the key step of the process involves the formation of radical species.

The flash vacuum thermolysis (FVT) of cydoalkenyl allyl (or propargyl) sulfides 8, 9, 12, and 13 led, as the main thermal pathway, to the conjugated cycloalkenethiones 1, 3, and 5, resulting from a retro-ene reaction. These reactive thioketones, thus obtained in ca. 70% yield, have been characterized in the gas phase by mass spectrometry, and at low temperature by IR, UV/Vis and NMR spectroscopy. The polymerization of 1, 3, and 5 upon warming is generally more rapid than the other attempted reactions and only the [2 + 3] dipolar cycloaddition with diazomethane led in low yield, besides polymeric materials, to isomeric 1,3-dithiolanes 20 from cyclopentenethione 1. The obtention of the nonconjugated cycloalkenethiones 2 and 4, expected in the FVT of sulfides 10 and 11, has been confirmed only by UV/Vis spectroscopy at -196 °C, due to their rapid enethiolization. In the case of the large-ring sulfide 14, the (E) geometry of the double bond favoured the competitive retro-ene reaction yielding cyclododecene and propynethial; on the other hand, the FVT of the tricyclic gem-dithiol 15, a possible precursor of cyclobutenethione (7), led to vinyl thioketene (18), obtained by thermal ring opening of 7.
New Desulfurizations by Nickel-Containing Complex Reducing Agents

Desulfurizations of saturated aliphatic or aromatic sulfoxides or sulfones are efficiently performed with nickel complex reducing agents (NiCRA's).The complete desulfurization of dithioketals can be effected in high yields with these reagents, while their half-desulfurization is efficiently achieved with 2,2'-bipyridine-modified nickel complex reducing agents (NiCRA-bpy).The desulfurization of vinyl thioethers, sulfoxides, and sulfones have been shown to be chemoselective, leaving the C-C double bond intact.The desulfurization of (E)-PhSO2(CH3)C=CHPh to cis-CH3CH=CHPh with NiCRA in the presence of quinoline is 95percent enantioselective.
