Highly atom-efficient oxidation of sulfides into sulfones under solvent- and catalyst-free reaction conditions using a 30% aqueous solution of H 2O2 at 75 °C is reported. A structurally diverse set of phenyl alkyl-, phenyl benzyl-, benzyl alkyl-, dialkyl-, heteroaryl alkyl- and cyclic sulfides were transformed into sulfones regardless of the aggregate state and electronic nature of the substituents. In spite of the heterogeneous reaction mixtures throughout the work, no difficulties with stirring and reaction progress were noted. In numerous cases, only 10 mol% excess of H 2O2 was used, thus contributing considerably to the high atom economy of the process. Some solid substrates required a variable excess of hydrogen peroxide; however, the reactions were performed strictly without organic solvents. The transformation was demonstrated to be amenable for scale-up with both liquid and solid sulfides. In addition, isolation and purification of the crude products can be simply done with only filtration and crystallization.

To develop new synthons for the syntheses of organofluorine compounds, the treatment of Halothane, 2-bromo-2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane, (1) with 4-methylbenzenethiol (2) in the presence of sodium hydride gave 1-chloro- 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl 4-methylphenyl sulfide (3), which was oxidized with m- chloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA) to the corresponding sulfoxide (4) and sulfone (5). Reaction of 3 and 5 with allyltributyltin in the presence of 2,2'- azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) gave 1-(trifluoromethyl)-3-butenyl compounds (9, 11). Sulfoxide 4 was decomposed in this condition. The treatment of 3 with allyltrimethylsilane in the presence of Lewis acids gave 1- (trifluoromethyl)-3-butenyl compounds (9) in good yield. This result suggests that 4-methylphenylthio substituent stabilizes the α-carbocation effectively, though the trifluoromethyl group destabilizes it strongly. Aromatic compounds similarly reacted with 3 in the presence of titanium(IV) chloride to give 2-aryl-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-(4-methylphenylthio)ethanes. Thus, sulfur compounds derived from Halothane were found to be useful new synthons for organofluorine compounds.
