Oxidation of aryl vinyl sulfides into aryl vinyl sulfoxides in the ButOOH-Ti(OPri)4-(R, R)-diethyl tartrate system was studied. The process afforded low optical yields (no more than 5%). A model of the oxidation was proposed that allows interpreting the dependence of the reaction enantioselectivity on the structure of a substrate.

Organosulfurs are important commodity chemicals and indispensable synthetic intermediates in modern chemistry that were traditionally synthesized using metal catalysts, oxidants or strong bases, which caused numerous environmental pollution issues. The divergent synthesis of these scaffolds via a single catalysis under catalyst and oxidant free conditions is a fantastic idea to overcome these drawbacks. Here, we report a safe, practical and eco-friendly electrochemical methodology for the controllable dechloro-coupling of 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) with thiols, providing value-added β-chloroethylsulfurs, which serve as versatile building blocks in the efficient late-stage conversion to bioactive molecules. The mildness and practicality of this protocol was further demonstrated by the total synthesis of anti-gout drug sulfinpyrazone in a 32% total yield over three steps.

Mn-porphyrin complex was anchored coordinatively to silica-coated surface of magnetic nanoparticles (SMNP). Afterward, a heterogeneous nanocatalyst (Fe3O4@SiO2-MnTCPP) has been characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). A thermal stability up to around 350°C was verified for prepared nanocatalyst based on thermogravimetric analysis. Finally, the catalytic performance of magnetically recoverable Mn-catalyst was exploited in the green oxidation of different sulfides with urea hydrogen peroxide (UHP) in the presence of imidazole as co-catalyst in ethanol under heterogeneous conditions. The eco-friendly property of ethanol strongly induced us to employ it as the reaction solvent in this oxidation system. Complete conversion (≥99) of sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxide or sulfones was obtained for ethyl phenyl sulfide, phenyl vinyl sulfide, diallyl sulfide, thiocyanatoethane, 2-ethyl mercaptoethanol and tetrahydrothiophene. Moreover, the recovered catalysts keep constant conversion yield up to at least three cycles.

We report the rapid oxidation of organic sulfides to sulfoxides by means of microdroplet chemistry at room temperature using a spray solution containing an organic sulfide dissolved in water/methanol, dilute (11%-14%) sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), and 5% chloroauric acid (HAuCl4). Ultrasonic nebulization, easy ambient sonic-spray ionization, or electrosonic spray ionization serves as the microdroplet source. High-resolution mass spectrometry was used as an online detector, and nuclear magnetic resonance was used as an offline detector. We found that the sulfoxide yields vary between 66 and 95%, the highest rate of product formation is 195 mg/min for benzyl phenyl sulfoxide, and the time required is a few minutes, which is much less than that required for the conventional means of achieving this chemical transformation. We also applied this microdroplet method to protein fingerprinting. We found that protein sequences containing methionine can be quickly oxidized, providing useful information for protein structure determinations.

Enantiopure organic compounds are of major importance for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Flavin-dependent group E monooxygenases, composed of monooxygenase and reductase, are known to perform epoxidation of substituted alkenes as well as sulfoxidation in a regio- and enantioselective fashion. Group E is divided into styrene monooxygenases (SMO) and indole monooxygenases (IMO). Hitherto mainly SMOs have been characterized. In this study, we assayed 31 monooxygenases from both types, while 23 of which showed activity. They almost exclusively produced (S)-styrene oxide at high enantiomeric excess with maximum activities of 0.73 μmol min?1 mg?1 (kcat=0.54 s?1). In case of sulfoxidation, we found that the enantioselectivity is contrary between both types. IMOs preferably produce the (S)-enantiomer while SMOs have a tendency to produce the (R)-enantiomer. Sequence analysis and molecular docking of substrates allowed identifying fingerprint motives: SMO N46-V48-H50-Y73-H76-S96 and IMO S46-Q48-M50-V/I73-I76-A96. These form an essential part of the active site while the loop (AS44-51) interacts with the co-substrate and other amino acids direct the substrate. The motives clearly distinguish group E monooxygenases and define the enantioselectivity and thus direct biotechnological applications. Two-hour biotransformations with several sulfides in conjunction with upscale experiments (10 and 100 mg scale) resulted in the identification of promising candidates for the realization of biocatalytic processes.

A simple, efficient, and selective oxidation under flow conditions of sulfides into their corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones is reported herein, using as a catalyst perselenic acid generated in situ by the oxidation of selenium (IV) oxide in a diluted aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide as the final oxidant. The scope of the proposed methodology was investigated using aryl alkyl sulfides, aryl vinyl sulfides, and dialkyl sulfides as substrates, evidencing, in general, a good applicability. The scaled-up synthesis of (methylsulfonyl)benzene was also demonstrated, leading to its gram-scale preparation.

In the present work, a kind of efficient heterogeneous catalyst was synthesized from amine-functionalized hypercrosslinked bottlebrush copolymers of microporous network nanotubes (amine-MNNs) and Na2WO4. The synthesized tungstate-supported microporous network nanotubes (TMNNs) catalyst was shown to be highly active in the selective H2O2 oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides or sulfones under mild conditions due to the high specific surface area (800 m2 g-1) and firm structure of the nanotubes. The catalyst was found to be very stable and could be recycled at least 8 times without any significant loss of activity. These results present a new opportunity for the development of efficient green organic catalytic materials with high activity.

In this study, a novel Mn(iii)-Schiff base complex was synthesized and characterized. The structure of this complex was determined to be a deformed octahedral coordination sphere by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The Mn(iii)-Schiff base complex was supported on silica-coated iron magnetic nanoparticlesviaaxial coordination by one-step complex anchoring to produce a heterogenized nanocatalyst. After this, the complex was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Moreover, atomic absorption spectroscopy was used to determine the amount of the loaded metal. The heterogenized nanocatalyst effectively catalyzed the oxidation of a broad range of sulfides and alkenes with H2O2in the presence of a glassy carbon electrode, applying voltage to the reaction mixture. The results showed that the application of a potential to the reaction mixture could significantly decrease the reaction time when compared with the case of similar chemical oxidation reactions. In addition, an excellent value of turnover frequency (17?750 h-1) was achieved for the electrochemical oxidation of styrene. Moreover, the nanocatalyst showed good recoverability without significant loss of its activity within six successive runs in the electrochemical oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide and cyclooctene. The electrochemical properties and stability of Fe3O4?SiO2-[MnL(OAc)] were investigated by cyclic voltammetry measurements and chronoamperometry technique.

Chiral sulfoxides have gained attention as synthons and precursors for API synthesis. Flavoproteins such as Baeyer-Villiger or styrene monooxygenases mainly provide access to (R)-sulfoxides and often suffer from low selectivity, activity, and/or limited substrate scope. The flavoprotein monooxygenase AbIMO from Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 initiates indole degradation. Here, AbIMO was expressed recombinantly in E. coli and characterized for its sulfoxidation activity and substrate spectrum. Next to indole and styrene, AbIMO was found to accept numerous alkyl aryl sulfides as substrates, transforming them to (S)-sulfoxides with high enantioselectivity (95 percent to '99 percent for most sulfides). The formulation as a whole-cell biocatalyst allowed specific production rates of up to 370 U gcdw?1 – the highest specific oxygenase activity achieved in whole cells so far – and the preparative synthesis of enantiopure (S)-aryl alkyl sulfoxides. With its extraordinarily high specific activity, high specificity, ease of handling, and high stability (catalyst is stable for '16 days at 4 °C), the designed whole-cell biocatalyst adds enormous value to the portfolio of chemical and biological catalysts for asymmetric sulfoxide synthesis.

Anchoring of peroxotitanium (pTi) species to linear water-soluble acrylic acid based polymers, poly(sodium acrylate) (PA) and poly(sodium methacrylate) (PMA) led to the successful synthesis of a pair of new, water-tolerant and recyclable catalysts of the type [Ti2(O2)2O2(OH)2]4-—L (L = PA or PMA), highly effective in chemoselective sulfoxidation of organic sulfides with 30% H2O2 in aqueous medium at ambient temperature. The catalytic protocol is high yielding (TOF up to 11,280 h?1), operationally simple as well as environmentally clean and safe, being free from halide, or any other toxic auxiliaries. The catalysts are sufficiently stable to afford easy recyclability for at least 10 consecutive reaction cycles of sulfoxidation with consistent activity selectivity profile. Oxidation of dibenzothiophene (DBT) to respective high purity sulfoxide or sulfone could also be accomplished using the same catalysts by variation of reaction conditions.
