A practical and eco-friendly method for the controllable aerobic oxygenation of sulfides by electrochemical catalysis was developed. The switchable preparation of sulfoxides and sulfones was effectively controlled by reaction time, in which both molecular oxygen and water can be used as the oxygen source under catalyst and external oxidant-free conditions. The electrochemical protocol features a broad substrate scope and excellent site selectivity and is successfully applied to the modification of some sulfide-containing pharmaceuticals and their derivatives.

Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Alkenyl Carboxylates

Carboxylate esters have many desirable features as electrophiles for catalytic cross-coupling: they are easy to access, robust during multistep synthesis, and mass-efficient in coupling reactions. Alkenyl carboxylates, a class of readily prepared non-aromatic electrophiles, remain difficult to functionalize through cross-coupling. We demonstrate that Pd catalysis is effective for coupling electron-deficient alkenyl carboxylates with arylboronic acids in the absence of base or oxidants. Furthermore, these reactions can proceed by two distinct mechanisms for C?O bond activation. A Pd0/II catalytic cycle is viable when using a Pd0 precatalyst, with turnover-limiting C?O oxidative addition; however, an alternative pathway that involves alkene carbopalladation and β-carboxyl elimination is proposed for PdII precatalysts. This work provides a clear path toward engaging myriad oxygen-based electrophiles in Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling.

The development of eco-friendly and switchable catalytic systems for the conversion of a sole raw-material into distinct high-value products is a particularly attractive concept and a daunting synthetic challenge. In the present work, the first example of efficient and selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfones and sulfoxides using molecular oxygen under clean conditions was established.
Oxidation of aromatic sulfides with molecular oxygen: Controllable synthesis of sulfoxides or sulfones

, p. 2991 - 2992 (2020/03/24)
The recent development of selective oxidation of aromatic sulfides with molecular oxygen was highlighted. The sulfoxides and sulfones could be obtained by simply switching the reaction media, i.e., bis(2-butoxyethyl)ether (BBE) or poly(ethylene glycol)dimethyl ether (PEGDME). The application of the high-boiling-point polyether as an initiator and green media can eliminate the need of large quantities of additives and volatile solvents. This strategy represents an economic and eco-friendly method that could find potential applications.

Conventionally, sulfones are prepared by oxidation of sulfides with strong oxidants. Now, a multicomponent reductive cross-coupling involving an inorganic salt (sodium metabisulfite) for the straightforward construction of sulfones is disclosed. Both intramolecular and intermolecular reductive cross-couplings were comprehensively explored, and diverse sulfones were accessible from the corresponding alkyl and aryl halides. Intramolecular cyclic sulfones were systematically obtained from five- to twelve-membered rings. Naturally occurring aliphatic systems, such as steroids, saccharides, and amino acids, were highly compatible with the SO2-insertion reductive cross-coupling. Four clinically applied drug molecules, which include multiple heteroatoms and functional groups with active hydrogens, were successfully prepared via a late-stage SO2 insertion. Mechanistic studies show that alkyl radicals and sulfonyl radicals were both involved as intermediates in this transformation.

Oxygenation is a fundamental transformation in synthesis. Herein, we describe the selective late-stage oxygenation of sulfur-containing complex molecules with ground-state oxygen under ambient conditions. The high oxidation potential of the active uranyl cation (UO22+) enabled the efficient synthesis of sulfones. The ligand-to-metal charge transfer process (LMCT) from O 2p to U 5f within the O=U=O group, which generates a UV center and an oxygen radical, is assumed to be affected by the solvent and additives, and can be tuned to promote selective sulfoxidation. This tunable strategy enabled the batch synthesis of 32 pharmaceuticals and analogues by late-stage oxygenation in an atom- and step-efficient manner.

Paragraph 0377-0381, (2019/12/25)
The invention discloses an aryl alkyl sulfone compound shown as a formula (1) and a synthetic method thereof. The aryl alkyl sulfone compound is prepared by taking an aromatic iodide, an inorganic sulfur reagent and an alkyl bromide as reaction raw materials to carry out reacting in a solvent under action of alkali, a catalyst, a ligand, a reducing agent and an additive. According to the invention, an inorganic sulfur reagent is used as a sulfur source to construct the aryl alkyl sulfone compound in one step under catalysis and reduction conditions, so that the defect in synthesizing the arylalkyl sulfone compound by conventional oxidation of thioether is avoided. The aryl alkyl sulfone compound developed by the invention can be used for synthesizing aryl alkyl sulfone medicines.

Series of 5-substituted-3,4-diphenylfuran-2-ones were stereoselectively prepared. Their potential anti-proliferative effects on prostate cancer and some of their cyclooxygenases (COXs) inhibitory activities were evaluated. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) data, acquired by substituent modification at the para-position and ortho-position of the C-3 phenyl ring and 5-substituted modification of the central furanone, showed that 3-(2-chloro-phenyl)-4-(4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-5-(1-methoxy-ethyl) -5H-furan-2-one (13p) was the most potent compound and could effectively reduce the proliferation of prostate cancer cells (PC3 cell IC50 = 20 μM; PC3 PCDNA cell IC50 = 5 μM; PC3 SKP2 cell IC50 = 5 μM; DU145 cell IC50 = 25 μM). The cell cycle analysis for 13p in DU145 indicated that 13p may induce G1 phase arrest.
