In this paper, a visible-light-promoted cross-coupling of 4-alkyl-1,4-dihydropyridines with thio-/selenium sulfonates under transition-metal-free conditions is described. This strategy features easily available substrates, mild reaction conditions, high yields, and high chemoselectivity. A novel synthetic route for the construction of a sulfide or selenide Csp3-S or Csp3-Se bond under transition-metal-free conditions without an additive oxidant or base is developed. This method is well extended to the synthesis of a class of thiolated or selenylated glycosides that has not been explored before. Sulfoxides were also successfully chemoselectively observed via a facile variation of the atmosphere under photocatalyzed conditions.

A synthetic study on the preparation of N-Boc α-amino sulfoxides has revealed an unexpected instability which is believed to be due to α-elimination of the sulfoxide to give an iminium ion. Full synthetic details are reported on two main synthetic routes: lithiation and sulfinate trapping of N-Boc heterocycles and oxidation of N-Boc α-amino sulfides. Six novel α-amino sulfoxides were successfully prepared and isolated. It is speculated that four other α-amino sulfoxides were synthesised but could not be isolated due to their propensity to α-eliminate the sulfoxide. Ultimately, a stable, cyclic N-Boc α-amino sulfoxide was prepared and this successful synthesis relied on the α-amino sulfoxide being part of a bicyclic [3.1.0] fused ring system that could not undergo α-elimination of the sulfoxide. the Partner Organisations 2014.
