Presented is a light-promoted C-C bond forming reaction yielding sulfone and phosphate derivatives at room temperature in the absence of metals or photoredox catalyst. This transformation proceeds in neat conditions through an auto-oxidation mechanism which is maintained through the leaching of trace amounts of O2 as sole green oxidant. This journal is
Safe and Metal-Free Synthesis of 1-Alkenyl Aryl Sulfides and Their Sulfones from Thiiranes and Diaryliodonium Salts

A series of 1-alkenyl aryl sulfides was synthesized from thiiranes and diaryliodonium salts in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of potassium tert -butoxide. The proposed reaction mechanism involves generation of benzynes from the diaryliodonium salts in the presence of the base. Then, nucleophilic attack of the benzynes by thiiranes, followed by hydrogen abstraction and ring opening of the generated thiiranium intermediates, provides the sulfides. These sulfides were further oxidized with performic acid to the corresponding sulfones. The current method provides a metal-free and safe method for the preparation of 1-alkenyl aryl sulfides and their sulfones.

A structure-based design approach has been applied to develop 2-(arylsulfonyl)oxiranes as potential covalent inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatases. A detailed kinetic analysis of inactivation by these covalent inhibitors reveals that this class of compounds inhibits a panel of protein tyrosine phosphatases in a time- and dose-dependent manner, consistent with the covalent modification of the enzyme active site. An inactivation experiment in the presence of sodium arsenate, a known competitive inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatase, indicated that these inhibitors were active site bound. This finding is consistent with the mass spectrometric analysis of the covalently modified protein tyrosine phosphatase enzyme. Additional experiments indicated that these compounds remained inert toward other classes of arylphosphate-hydrolyzing enzymes, and alkaline and acid phosphatases. Cell-based experiments with human A549 lung cancer cell lines indicated that 2-(phenylsulfonyl)oxirane (1) caused an increase in intracellular pTyr levels in a dose-dependent manner thereby suggesting its cell-permeable nature. Taken together, the newly identified 2-(arylsulfonyl)oxiranyl moiety could serve as a novel chemotype for the development of activity-based probes and therapeutic agents against protein tyrosine phosphatase superfamily of enzymes.
