A highly chemoselective route to aryl methyl sulfones via an unexpected C S bond formation between sulfonylhydrazides and dimethyl phosphite catalyzed by NaI under mild conditions has been established. This transformation provides an alternative and metal-free pathway to acquire various aryl methyl sulfones in good to excellent yields. Notably, dimethyl phosphite was employed as a stable and readily available alkyl source.

A mild, chemoselective and sustainable biocatalysed synthesis of sulfoxides has been developed exploiting CALB and using AcOEt with a dual role of more environmentally friendly reaction solvent and enzyme substrate. A series of sulfoxides, including the drug omeprazole, have been synthesised in high yields and with excellent E-factors.

Synthetically versatile alkyl sulfinates can be prepared from readily available amines, using Katritzky pyridinium salt intermediates. In a catalyst-free procedure, primary, secondary, and benzylic alkyl radicals are generated by photoinduced or thermally induced single-electron transfer (SET) from an electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex, and trapped by SO2 to generate sulfonyl radicals. Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) from Hantzsch ester gives alkyl sulfinate products, which are used to prepare a selection of medicinal chemistry relevant sulfonyl-containing motifs.

The mutagenesis of a "second sphere"switch residue of CHMOAcineto could control its enantio- and regiopreference. Replacing phenylalanine (F) at position 277 of CHMOAcineto into larger tryptophan (W) enabled a significant enhancement of enantio- or regioselectivity toward structurally diverse substrates, moreover, a complete reversal of enantio- or regiopreference was realized by mutating F277 into a range of smaller amino acids (A/C/D/E/G/H/I/K/L/M/N/P/Q/R/S/T/V).

A tuneable metal-free protocol for the selective preparation of a-substituted vinyl sulfone and (E)-vinyl sulfone derivatives has been described. In this process, stable paraformaldehyde was used as the carbon source. The base played an important role in the selectivity control of transformations. More than 50 products were synthesized with excellent chemoselectivity and broad functional group tolerance.

A series of nine methyl sulphones (3a-3i) starting from the aldehydes (1a-1i) were synthesized in two consecutive steps. In the first step, preparation of allyl alcohols (2a-2i) from their corresponding aldehydes by the reaction of sodium borohydride in methanol at room temperature is reported. Finally, methyl sulphones are synthesized by condensing sodium methyl sulfinates with allyl alcohols in the presence of BF3.Et2O in acetic acid medium at room temperature for about 2-3 h. The reaction conditions are simple, yields are high (85%-95%), and the products were obtained with good purity. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by their 1H, 13C NMR, and mass spectral analysis. All the title compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity. Among the compounds tested, the compound 3f has inhibited both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria effectively and compound 3i has shown potent antifungal activity. These promising components may help to develop more potent drugs in the near future for the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections.

A new protocol for the synthesis of (enantioenriched) benzylic sulfones via the Cu2O-catalyzed C–S bond cross coupling of alkane-/arene-sulfinates and (enantioenriched) benzylic quaternary ammonium salts has been developed. The product benzylic sulfones were obtained in good to high yields (75–96%). Chiral arylmethyl sulfones with high enantiomeric excess (90–94% ee) were also synthesized in the presence of Cu2O and 1,1′-bis-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf).

We report a facile synthesis of sulfones, β-keto sulfones, and sulfonamides from vinyl sulfones via an addition-elimination sequence where in situ generation of nucleophilic sulfinate ion is mediated by cyanide. The use vinyl sulfones renders high selectivity for S -alkylation to produce sulfones in high yields. In the presence of N -bromosuccinimide, primary and secondary amines underwent sulfonamide formation. A preliminary mechanistic study showed the formation of acrylonitrile as an innocent byproduct, without interfering with the desired reaction pathway while generating a sulfinate nucleophile.

A novel and convenient synthetic route for aryl methyl sulfones and β-hydroxysulfones was developed via the radical reaction between sodium sulfinates and di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP). Without any catalysts and additives, the synthetic process could be smoothly carried out to afford the target products in good to excellent yields in H2O medium, demonstrating its promising application. In the present system, H2O could act not only as a green solvent but also as a reactant.
