A one-pot process for the synthesis of unsymmetrical sulfoxides using organometallic nucleophiles is described. Sulfur dioxide, delivered from the surrogate DABSO (DABCO-bis(sulfur dioxide)), acts as the initial electrophile and combines with the first organometallic reagent to generate a sulfinate intermediate. In situ conversion of the sulfinate to a sulfinate silyl ester, using TMS-Cl (trimethylsilyl chloride), generates a second electrophile, allowing addition of a second organometallic reagent. Organolithium or Grignard reagents can be employed, delivering sulfoxides in good to excellent yields.

Optically active sulfoxides are compounds of high interest in organic chemistry. Herein, we report the preparation of a set of chiral heteroaryl alkyl, cyclohexyl alkyl, and alkyl alkyl sulfoxides by using enantioselective sulfoxidation reactions employing three Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs). Careful selection of the reaction conditions, starting sulfide, and biocatalyst can be used to achieve good to excellent enantiomeric excess values. Thus, valuable chiral synthons can be obtained by performing the reactions under mild and environmentally friendly conditions. The most promising biotransformations that employ a BVMO cell-free extract preparation have been developed on a 250-mg scale to give the chiral sulfoxides in high yields in most of the reactions.
