Photosensitization associated with light absorption and energy/electron-transfer represents the central processes for photosynthesis. However, it's still a challenge to develop a heavy-atom-free (HAF) strategy to improve the sensitizing ability of polymeric photosensitizers. Herein, we propose a new protocol to significantly improve the photosensitization by decorating mother conjugated microporous polymer (CMP-1) with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), resulting in a series of CMPs (CMP-2–4). Systematic study reveals that covalent modification with PAHs can transfer charge to Bodipy in CMP to further facilitate both intersystem crossing and electron-hole separation, which can dramatically boost energy-/electron-transfer reactions. Remarkably, CMP-2 as a representative CMP can efficiently drive the photosynthesis of methyl phenyl sulfoxide with 92 % yield, substantially higher than that of CMP-1 (32 %). Experiments and theory calculations demonstrate the structure-property-activity relationship of these CMPs, opening a new horizon for developing HAF heterogeneous photosensitizers with highly efficient sensitizing activity by rational structure regulation at a molecular level.

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.

Photoactive two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D-COFs) have become promising heterogenous photocatalysts in visible-light-driven organic transformations. Herein, a visible-light-driven selective aerobic oxidation of various small organic molecules by using 2D-COFs as the photocatalyst was developed. In this protocol, due to the remarkable photocatalytic capability of hydrazone-based 2D-COF-1 on molecular oxygen activation, a wide range of amides, quinolones, heterocyclic compounds, and sulfoxides were obtained with high efficiency and excellent functional group tolerance under very mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, benefiting from the inherent advantage of heterogenous photocatalysis, prominent sustainability and easy photocatalyst recyclability, a drug molecule (modafinil) and an oxidized mustard gas simulant (2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfoxide) were selectively and easily obtained in scale-up reactions. Mechanistic investigations were conducted using radical quenching experiments and in situ ESR spectroscopy, all corroborating the proposed role of 2D-COF-1 in photocatalytic cycle.

A facile and efficient visible-light-mediated method for directly converting sulfides into sulfoxides under clean conditions without using any photocatalysts is reported. This method exhibited favourable compatibility with functional groups and afforded a series of sulfoxides with high selectivity and yields. Moreover, in order to shed more light on such a transformation, detailed mechanism studies were carried out both experimentally and theoretically. The readily accessible, low-cost and eco-friendly nature of the developed method will endow it with attractive applications in chemical synthesis.
Modulation of photochemical oxidation of thioethers to sulfoxides or sulfones using an aromatic ketone as the photocatalyst

We have developed an eco-friendly and chemo-selective photocatalytic synthesis of sulfoxides or sulfones via oxidation of sulfides (thioethers) at ambient temperature using air or O2 as the oxidant. An inexpensive thioxanthone was used as the photocatalyst. Our method offers excellent chemical yields and good functional group tolerance. The hydrogen bonding between hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) and sulfoxides may play an important role in minimizing the over-oxidization of sulfoxides.

We report the rapid oxidation of organic sulfides to sulfoxides by means of microdroplet chemistry at room temperature using a spray solution containing an organic sulfide dissolved in water/methanol, dilute (11%-14%) sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), and 5% chloroauric acid (HAuCl4). Ultrasonic nebulization, easy ambient sonic-spray ionization, or electrosonic spray ionization serves as the microdroplet source. High-resolution mass spectrometry was used as an online detector, and nuclear magnetic resonance was used as an offline detector. We found that the sulfoxide yields vary between 66 and 95%, the highest rate of product formation is 195 mg/min for benzyl phenyl sulfoxide, and the time required is a few minutes, which is much less than that required for the conventional means of achieving this chemical transformation. We also applied this microdroplet method to protein fingerprinting. We found that protein sequences containing methionine can be quickly oxidized, providing useful information for protein structure determinations.

A practical and mild method for the switchable synthesis of sulfoxides or sulfonesviaselective oxidation of sulfides using cheapN-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) as the oxidant has been developed. These highly chemoselective transformations were simply achieved by varying the NFSI loading with H2O as the green solvent and oxygen source without any additives. The good functional group tolerance makes the strategy valuable.
