Electrochemical oxidation of sulfinic acids: Efficient oxidative synthesis of diaryl disulfones

Electrochemical oxidation of sulfinic acids has been studied in aqueous solutions using cyclic voltammetry, controlled-potential coulometry, chronoamperometry and chronocoulometry methods. The results indicate that the oxidation of sulfinic acids is an ir

A paradigm shift in rate determining step from single electron transfer between phenylsulfinylacetic acids and iron(III) polypyridyl complexes to nucleophilic attack of water to the produced sulfoxide radical cation: a non-linear Hammett

Mechanism of oxidative decarboxylation of phenylsulfinylacetic acids (PSAAs) by iron(III) polypyridyl complexes in aqueous acetonitrile medium has been investigated spectrophotometrically. An initial intermediate formation between PSAA and [Fe(NN)3]3+ is confirmed from the observed Michaelis–Menten kinetics and fractional order dependence on PSAA. Significant rate retardation with concentration of [Fe(NN)3]3+ is rationalized on the basis of coordination of a water molecule at the carbon atom adjacent to the ring nitrogen of the metal polypyridyl complexes by nucleophilic attack at higher concentrations. Electron-withdrawing and electron-releasing substituents in PSAA facilitate the reaction and Hammett correlation gives an upward ‘V’ shaped curve. The apparent upward curvature is rationalized based on the change in the rate determining step from electron transfer to nucleophilic attack, by changing the substituents from electron-releasing to electron-withdrawing groups. Electron-releasing substituents in PSAA accelerate the electron transfer from PSAA to the complex and also stabilize the intermediate through resonance interaction leading to negative reaction constants (ρ). Conversely, electron-withdrawing groups, while retarding the electron transfer exert an accelerating effect on the nucleophilic attack of H2O which leading to low magnitude of ρ+ compared to high ρ? values of electron-releasing groups. Marcus theory is applied, and a fair agreement is seen with the experimental values. Copyright

Temperature-controlled selective reduction of arenesulfonyl chlorides promoted by samarium metal in DMF

Promoted by samarium in DMF, arenesulfonyl chlorides can be selectively reduced to diaryldisulfones, diarylthiosulfonates and diaryldisulfides in good to excellent yields by reaction temperature control without the need to pretreat or activate the metallic samarium.

Sonochemical Preparation of Aromatic α-Disulfones

Reasonable yields (60-70percent) of aromatic α-disulfones can be obtained in short reaction times from a sonicated mixture of an arenesulfonyl chloride and lithium in THF. - Key Words: Alpha-disulfones, sonication, Wurtz-type coupling
