Silica-promoted facile synthesis of thioesters and thioethers: A highly efficient, reusable and environmentally safe solid support

An efficient, mild and rapid procedure for the acylation and alkylation of aromatic and aliphatic thiols mediated on a silica gel surface at room temperature is described. The protocol allows the protection of thiols under neutral heterogeneous conditions without requiring any bases or Lewis acids, and the silica gel used as the promoter can be recycled for several runs without any loss of activity.

On the relative migratory aptitudes of carbon and heteroatoms in borate complexes. A surprising α-thia effect

Dimethylsulfoxonium methylide reacts with dicyclohexyl(α- thiophenylmethyl)methylborane via 1,2-alkyl migration and alkyldithiaborolane via 1,2-sulfur migration.

New Oxyfunctionalization Capabilities for ω-Hydroxylases: Asymmetric Aliphatic Sulfoxidation and Branched Ether Demethylation

Due to inherent difficulties in the chemical generation of aliphatic synthons, the stereo- and regioselective oxyfunctionalization of simple aliphatic substrates represents an area where chemical applications of biocatalysis would be particularly useful.The hydrocarbon monooxygenase from Pseudomonas oleovorans is a prototypical "ω-hydroxylase" known to carry out hydroxylation at the terminal methyl of alkanes as well as epoxidation of terminal olefins.It is now demonstrated that this enzyme system catalyzes stereoselective sulfoxidation of methyl thioether substrates, representing the first clear example of oxygenase-produced chiral aliphatic sulfoxides yet reported.In addition, it is shown that this enzyme system catalyzes oxygenative O-demethylation of branched alkyl methyl and branched vinyl methyl ethers to secondary alcohols and ketones, respectively.These findings establish new oxyfunctionalization capabilities, and thus a significantly expanded biotechnological potential, for the hydrocarbon monooxygenases.
