Sulfur ylides are well-known to undergo sigmatropic rearrangement reaction. Herein, we describe a novel reactivity of sulfur ylides, which provides access to the product of a formal functional group metathesis upon dealkylative interception of the rearrangement process. Using a simple iron catalyst and in situ generated diazoalkanes this method provides access to α-mercaptoacetonitrile derivatives.

A continuous-flow protocol for the synthesis of diazo acetonitrile was developed. It was further applied in iron-catalysed insertion reactions of diazo acetonitrile into N-H and S-H bonds to yield valuable α-substituted acetonitrile, including gram-scale synthesis.

Reaction between benzaldehyde and methyl α-benzylsulfonylacetate furnishes methyl (E)-α-benzylsulfonyl-β-phenylacrylate as the exclusive Knoevenagel adduct. The related condensations between α-benzylsulfonylacetonitrile and paraformaldehyde furnish trans-1-benzylsulfonyl-2-phenylcyclopropane-1-carbonitrile in modest yields. These product structures are established by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Phenylsulfene is ruled out as an intermediate in the formation of the cyclopropane.
Regiochemical and Stereochemical Studies on Halocyclization Reactions of Unsaturated Sulfides

The regiochemistry and stereochemistry for the halocyclization reactions of unsaturated benzyl sulfides have been examined as a function of tether length, type of unsaturation (carbon-carbon double bond versus carbon-carbon triple bond), substituents, and halogenating agent.Alkenyl sulfides were found to react with iodine or bromine at room temperature to give five-membered ring cycloadducts exclusively over those having four-membered rings, while for larger systems, six-membered ring products are formed preferentially over their five-membered ring isomers and exclusively over the seven-membered ring adducts.The endo- versus exo-regioselectivity of these alkenyl sulfide ring closure most likely reflects the difference in thermodynamic stabilities of the β-halo sulfide cycloadducts, which are able to equilibrate via a common episulfonium intermediate.The efficiency of cyclization process markedly drops off for these alkenyl sulfides as the tether length increases beyond four intervening carbon centers.Thus, while the halogenations of 3-butenyl sulfides and 4-pentenyl sulfides give high yields of cycloadducts, those of 5-hexenyl sulfides afford only small amounts of cyclized products and large quantities of acyclic dibromides.Conversely, the reactions of acetylenic sulfides with iodine give uniformly high yields and regiochemical control regardless of the tether length.Thus, 3-butynyl and 4-pentynyl sulfides cyclize cleanly to the five-membered ring while 5-hexynyl sulfides give exclusively the six-membered ring.The products arising from these alkynyl sulfide ring closures are believed to be formed under kinetic control.The methodology has been applied to the synthesis of unusual bicyclic β-lactams related to the penicillin family of antibiotics.

Allylic and benzylic sulfides are prepared from O-(2-alkenyl) or S-(2-alkenyl) S-alkyl and O-benzyl S-alkyl dithiocarbonates in the presence of palladium(0)-phosphine complex as a catalyst.

Acyclic thioiminium salts and the condensed thiazolium salts in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide as such or under base catalyzed phase transfer catalysis conditions react with appropiate organic halides to provide corresponding unsymmetrical functionalized organic sulphides.With aqueous sodium hydroxide, thioiminium salts provide the disulphides corresponding to incipient thiol.

In a novel approach, unsymmetrical organic sulphides (IIa-h) have been obtained from appropriate organic halides and sulphonium salts (I) - a source of incipient thiolate ions.
