A new enzymatic assay for the preparation of chiral sulfoxides that is enantiocomplementary to the known (S)-enantiomer-reducing activity of methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrA) is described. To this end, we have utilized the enzyme DMSO reductase (DmsABC), recently discovered by us being highly upregulated in stationary phase E. coli bacteria.

Lithiooxiranes [LiCR1(O)CR2R3, R1 = H, Me; R2/R3 = H/Ph, H/tBu, Me/Ph], generated by sulfoxide-lithium exchange from stereodefined sulfinyl epoxides (with use of PhLi or tBuLi, THF, at or below -90 °C), were employed for the stereospecific reagent-controlled homologation of boronic esters R0-Bpin (R0 = BnCH2, allyl, cHex, Ph). Addition of TBSOTf to the intermediate ate complexes gave β-silyloxyboronates that were converted to vicinal diol monosilyl ethers by oxidative work-up with aq. NaOOH. The 2°/2° (4-32 %, dr > 98:2), 2°/3° (21-66 %, dr ≥ 65:35), and 3°/3° (59-68 %, dr ≥ 95:5) contiguous stereodiad-containing compounds created in this manner were typically obtained in a highly stereocontrolled manner. In general, cis-sulfinyl epoxides afforded anti-like stereodiads, whereas trans-sulfinyl epoxides afforded syn-like stereodiads; however, as a result of its suspected configurational instability, LiCMe(O)CHPh gave anti-like 2°/3° motifs regardless of sulfinyl epoxide stereochemistry.

A practical and relatively inexpensive procedure for the preparation of (-)-chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide of high optical purity was accomplished by the chlorination of optically pure (+)-methyl p-tolyl sulfoxide with N-chlorosuccinimide in the presence of K2CO3.The (-)-chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide was alkylated to give a diastereomeric mixture of (-)-1-chloroalkyl p-tolyl sulfoxides.Addition of the anion derived from these sulfoxides to ketones or aldehydes afforded chlorohydrins in quite good yields with complete 1,2-asymmetric induction.Treatment of these chlorohydrins with a base gave optically active α,β-epoxy sulfoxides.On treatment with n-BuLi, the α,β-epoxy sulfoxides gave epoxides or allylic alcohols of high optical purity.This novel procedure was applied to a short synthesis of optically active (+)-disparlure, the sex attractant of the female gypsy moth.Aminolysis of the α,β-epoxy sulfoxides gave optically active α-amino ketones and α-amino aldehydes in quite good yields.

A chlorination of optically active alkyl p-tolyl sulfoxides with N-chlorosuccinimide in dichloromethane in the presence of potassium carbonate afforded optically active 1-chloroalkyl p-tolyl sulfoxides in 87-94percent ee (88-94percent chemical yields).The optically active chloroalkyl sulfoxide was applied to a synthesis of optically active (+)-disparlure.
