Electrochemical oxygenation of sulfides with molecular oxygen or water: Switchable preparation of sulfoxides and sulfones

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.

Flow Electrosynthesis of Sulfoxides, Sulfones, and Sulfoximines without Supporting Electrolytes

An efficient electrochemical flow process for the selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones and of sulfoxides toN-cyanosulfoximines has been developed. In total, 69 examples of sulfoxides, sulfones, andN-cyanosulfoximines have been synthesized in good to excellent yields and with high current efficiencies. The synthesis was assisted and facilitated through a supporting electrolyte-free, fully automated electrochemical protocol that highlights the advantages of flow electrolysis.

Sulfoxide and Sulfone Synthesis via Electrochemical Oxidation of Sulfides

The oxidation of diaryl sulfides and aryl alkyl sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones under electrochemical conditions is reported. Sulfoxides are selectively obtained in good yield under a constant current of 5 mA for 10 h in DMF, while sulfones are formed as the major product under a constant current of 10 or 20 mA for 10 h in MeOH. The oxygen of both the sulfoxide and sulfone function is derived from water.

Selectivity switch in the aerobic oxygenation of sulfides photocatalysed by visible-light-responsive decavanadate

Nanometre-sized metal oxides are promising species for the development of visible-light-responsive photocatalysts for the selective transformation of organic functional groups. In this article, we report that decavanadate ([V10O28]6-, V10) behaved as an efficient visible-light-responsive photocatalyst in the product-selective oxygenation of sulfides achieved using O2 (1 atm) as the green oxidant. In particular, we revealed that visible-light-responsive photocatalysis of V10 showed remarkable activity for the oxygenation of structurally diverse sulfides to form the corresponding sulfones using O2 in methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Furthermore, by simply adding water to the reaction mixture, the product selectivity of sulfide oxygenation can be significantly switched toward the production of sulfoxides, without concomitant loss of photocatalytic activity. Based on experimental evidence, we inferred the following mechanistic steps for this photocatalytic system: the aerobic oxygenation of sulfides to form the corresponding sulfoxides initiated by a visible-light-induced photoredox reaction of V10. As for the formation of sulfones, MEK-derived peroxide species as the co-catalysts are probably involved in the oxygenation of sulfoxides to sulfones. The selectivity switch of the V10-photocatalysed reaction brought about by water addition is most likely achieved by suppressing the formation of MEK-derived peroxide species. This journal is

Selective oxidation of (hetero)sulfides with molecular oxygen under clean conditions

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.

Sulfoxide and sulfone compounds, as well as selective synthesis method and application thereof

The invention discloses a method for selectively synthesizing a sulfoxide compound shown as a formula (II) and a sulfone compound shown as a formula (III). In a reaction solvent, thioether (I) is usedas a reaction raw material and oxygen as an oxidation reagent, under the catalytic action of visible light and a photosensitive reagent; under the assistance of an additive, when a large-polarity proton-containing additive such as an acid and an alcohol or a solvent or an additive with excellent electron donating ability is used, a sulfoxide compound (II) is selectively generated; and when a small-polarity aprotic additive or a solvent is used, a sulfone compound (III) is selectively generated. The synthesis method has the advantages of easily available and cheap raw materials, simple reaction operation, mild reaction conditions, high yield and excellent functional group tolerance. According to the invention, synthesis and modification of some medicines are realized, and an efficient method for selectively constructing sulfoxide and sulfone compounds is provided for medicinal chemistry research.

Switchable Synthesis of Aryl Sulfones and Sulfoxides through Solvent-Promoted Oxidation of Sulfides with O2/Air

A practical and switchable method for the synthesis of aryl sulfones and sulfoxides via sulfide oxidation was developed. The chemoselectivities of products were simply controlled by reaction temperature using O2/air as the terminal oxidant and oxygen source. The broad substrate scope, easy realization of gram-scale production, and the simplification of a sulfide oxidation system render the strategy attractive and valuable.

Selective Late-Stage Oxygenation of Sulfides with Ground-State Oxygen by Uranyl Photocatalysis

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.

Controlled α-mono- and α,α-di-halogenation of alkyl sulfones using reagent-solvent halogen bonding

The direct and selective α-mono-bromination of alkyl sulfones was achieved through base-mediated electrophilic halogenation. The appropriate combination of solvent and electrophilic bromine source was found to be critical to control the nature of the products formed, where reagent-solvent halogen bonding is proposed to control the selectivity via alteration of the effective size of the electrophilic bromine source. Conversely, the α,α-di-brominated sulfones were selectively obtained in good yields following polyhalogenation followed by selective de-halogenation during workup. Both procedures can be applied on gram scale, and the mono-halogenation was successfully extended to the fully selective α-chlorination, α-iodination and α-fluorination of alkyl sulfones.
