We have developed an efficient oxidative transformation of thione to disulfides using diacetoxyiodobenzene (DIB) in acetonitrile at room temperature. This strategy is suited for oxidation of thiols to disulfide also. The present oxidation protocol is mild reaction condition, column free, and a new route for disulfide formation.

A cerium-based metal-organic framework (MOF; 1) with a UiO-66 (UiO: University of Oslo) framework topology was synthesized solvothermally by employing 3,4-dimethylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid as a ligand. The MOF was thoroughly characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray powder diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric and N2 sorption analyses. The activated material (1′) retained its structural integrity in water, acetic acid and 1 M HCl solution. XPS investigation reveals the presence of both Ce(iii) and Ce(iv) ions in 1. Owing to the presence of mixed-valence cerium ions, 1′ was able to oxidize the chromogenic peroxidase substrate 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) or 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothizoline-6-sulfonic acid) (AzBTS) in the absence of an external oxidizing agent. Thus, it showed inherent oxidase-like catalytic properties. Inspired by the excellent oxidase-mimicking activity of 1′, a protocol was developed for the rapid colorimetric sensing of biothiols in NaAc buffer (0.2 M, pH = 4). The sensing ability of 1′ towards cysteine was also demonstrated in human blood plasma. Furthermore, the redox-active cerium ions enabled 1′ to exhibit excellent heterogeneous catalytic performance in aerobic oxidation catalysis of thiol compounds. The material is reusable (both as a sensor and as a catalyst), low-cost and highly stable, which renders it a promising candidate for the monitoring of biothiols in immunoassays and medical diagnosis as well as for industrial oxidation catalysis.

Altered redox homeostasis as a hallmark of cancer cells is exploited by cancer cells for growth and survival. The thioredoxin (Trx), an important regulator in maintaining the intracellular redox homeostasis, is cumulatively recognized as a promising target for the development of anticancer drugs. Herein, we synthesized 72 disulfides and evaluated their inhibition for Trx and antitumor activity. First, we established an efficient and fast method to screen Trx inhibitors by using the probe NBL-SS that was developed by our group to detect Trx function in living cells. After an initial screening of the Trx inhibitory activity of these compounds, 8 compounds showed significant inhibition activity against Trx. We then evaluated the cytotoxicity of these 8 disulfides, compounds 68 and 69 displayed high cytotoxicity to HeLa cells, but less sensitive to normal cell lines. Next, we performed kinetic studies of both two disulfides, 68 had faster inhibition of Trx than 69. Further studies revealed that 68 led to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and eventually induced apoptosis of Hela cells via inhibiting Trx. The establishment of a method for screening Trx inhibitors and the discovery of 68 with remarkable Trx inhibition provide support for the development of anticancer candidates with Trx inhibition.

Diaryl disulfides and diaryl thiosulfonates were synthesized with the two phenyl rings of all compounds bearing identical halide substituents. Because of structural similarity to the potent antimitotic natural product combretastatin A-4 (CA-4), the compounds were examined for inhibition of tubulin polymerization, and the thiosulfonates were more active than the disulfides. The nine thiosulfonates had IC50 values ranging from 1.2 to 9.1 μM, as compared with 1.3 μM obtained with CA-4. The compounds thus ranged from equipotent with CA-4 to 7-fold less active. The nine disulfides had IC50 values ranging from 1.2 to 5.1 μM, as compared with 0.54 μM obtained with CA-4. The compounds thus ranged from less than half as active as CA-4 to over 9-fold less active. The most active members of each group, 2 g and 3c, in the assembly assay were modeled into the colchicine site. Compound 3c had significant hydrophobic interactions with β-tubulin residues CYS 241 and ALA 250, and its thiosulfonate bridge made a hydrogen bond with β-tubulin residue ASN 258. Compound 2 g had hydrophobic interactions with β-tubulin residues ALA 250, CYS 241 and ALA 254, but there was no significant interaction of the disulfide bridge with tubulin.

A highly chemoselective, efficient and nano-Pd catalyzed protocol for the rapid construction of sulfoxides and sulfones via the oxidation of symmetrical and unsymmetrical sulfides using H2O2 as an oxidant has been developed, respectively. The ready availability of starting materials, easy recovery and reutilization of the catalyst, wide substrate scope, and high yields make this protocol an attractive alternative. The process also involves the metal-free and microwave-promoted synthesis of symmetrical diarylsulfides, and FeCl3-mediated preparation of symmetrical diaryldisulfides through the reaction of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates with Na2S·9H2O as a sulfur source. In addition, unsymmetrical sulfides were generated via the K2CO3-mediated reaction of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates with symmetrical disulfides.

Recently, inexpensive and readily available tBuOK has seen widespread use in transition-metal-free reactions. Herein, we report the use of tBuOK for S-S, S-Se, NN and CN bond formations, which significantly extends the scope of tBuOK in chemical synthesis. Compared with traditional methods, we have realized mild and general methods for disulfide, azobenzenes imine etc. synthesis.

Here, we have reported a novel approach towards dual-nano assisted synthesis of disulfides from coupling of alkyl/aryl halides and sulfur nanoparticles. The indium oxide nanoparticles as catalyst expedite the conversion and sulfur nanoparticle notably enhances the miscibility, providing a faster, high yielding and cost-effective process in ethanol-water system. The method has synthetic advantages in terms of mild reaction framework, catalyst regeneration, and absence of any sulfide or polysulfide linkage as by-product leading to a column free synthesis. A variety of alkyl, aryl and heteroaryl symmetrical disulfides are obtained in good to excellent yields up to exceeding 98%.

Abstract: Dimerization of thiol groups to disulfide is an important transformation in chemical processes. In this study, magnetic ion exchanged Montmorillonite-k10 was synthesized and characterized using FTIR, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope techniques. Then, the application of the synthesized catalyst as an efficient oxidizing agent was evaluated in oxidative dimerization of different thiols to corresponding disulfides under optimal reaction conditions. The reaction was easily performed with aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic thiols. The magnetic catalyst was easily recovered by applying an external magnet and, further, was reused in successive reactions. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

We describe herein a simple, fast and inexpensive protocol for the oxidative coupling of thiols employing a stoichiometric amount of DMSO and iodine as the catalyst. Various aromatic disulfides were obtained in good to excellent yields in short reaction times at room temperature, while aliphatic disulfides were achieved in good yields when the reactions were conducted under microwave irradiation.

A straightforward Rh(iii)-catalyzed general strategy was developed for the site-selective remote C4 (sp2) and C2 (sp3)-methyl thiolation of an indole core, keeping the oxime directing group at the C3 position. The transformation was accomplished under mild conditions with a wide scope and functional group tolerance. The directing group can easily be removed after operation. Methyl substitution at the C2 position of the indole core led to C2 (sp3)-methyl thiolation.
