The sulfoxidation reaction catalyzed by CoBr2 complexes, under the magnifying glass of green parameters

Different cobalt (II) and nickel (II) species were used as catalysts in sulfoxidation reactions giving excellent yields and high chemoselectivity. Among the cobalt (II) species, both γ-cyclodextrin complexes synthesized in ethyl acetate or dichloromethane solvents were very good catalysts, while γCDNiBr2 synthesized in ethyl acetate was the best of Ni (II) species. Sulfoxidation takes place with high chemoselectivity in the presence of other groups such as aldehyde. Good results were obtained when these reactions were analyzed using green chemistry metrics. Techniques as FT-IR, UV–vis Diffuse Reflectance, colorimetry, TGA, flame atomic absorption, potentiometric halide titration, and elemental analysis were used to characterize novel complexes. The change of solvent in the synthesis of complexes produces positive effects in holistic green metrics.

Organocatalytic sulfoxidation

Treatment of a sulfide with a catalytic amount of a 1,3-diketone in the presence of silica sulfuric acid as a co-catalyst and hydrogen peroxide (50% aq) as the stoichiometric oxidant leads to the corresponding sulfoxide product. The reaction is effective for diaryl, aryl-alkyl and dialkyl sulfides and is tolerant of oxidisable and acid sensitive functional groups. Investigations have shown that the tris-peroxide 2, formed on reaction of pentane-2,4-dione with hydrogen peroxide under acidic reaction conditions, can oxidise two equivalents of sulfide using the exocyclic peroxide groups whereas the endocyclic peroxide remains intact. Calculations provide a mechanism consistent with experimental observations and suggest the reaction proceeds via an initial acid catalysed ring opening of a protonated tris-peroxide prior to oxygen transfer to a sulfur nucleophile.

Electrochemical oxygenation of sulfides with molecular oxygen or water: Switchable preparation of sulfoxides and sulfones

A practical and eco-friendly method for the controllable aerobic oxygenation of sulfides by electrochemical catalysis was developed. The switchable preparation of sulfoxides and sulfones was effectively controlled by reaction time, in which both molecular oxygen and water can be used as the oxygen source under catalyst and external oxidant-free conditions. The electrochemical protocol features a broad substrate scope and excellent site selectivity and is successfully applied to the modification of some sulfide-containing pharmaceuticals and their derivatives.

Sulfoxide and Sulfone Synthesis via Electrochemical Oxidation of Sulfides

The oxidation of diaryl sulfides and aryl alkyl sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones under electrochemical conditions is reported. Sulfoxides are selectively obtained in good yield under a constant current of 5 mA for 10 h in DMF, while sulfones are formed as the major product under a constant current of 10 or 20 mA for 10 h in MeOH. The oxygen of both the sulfoxide and sulfone function is derived from water.
