Photolysis of the charge transfer complexes of several sulfides with tetranitromethane in dichloromethane led to selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides in high yields.

High oil/water interfacial area together with accessible interfaces for regents is the key to achieving efficient asymmetric catalysis in water. Herein, by taking advantage of the excellent interfacial activity of Janus nanosheets (JNS), as well as the unique compatibility of imidazolium ionic liquid (IL), we developed a series of IL-functionalized amphiphilic Janus mesosilica nanosheets which afford highly accessible reaction interfaces for highly enantioselective sulfoxidation in water. The JNS-typed chiral salen TiIV catalysts were prepared by selectively decorating hydrophobic chiral salen TiIV complex on one side of Janus mesosilica nanosheets through the imidazolium-based IL linker. Benefiting from the two-dimensional porous Janus structure, as well as the compatible IL linker, the IL-tagged JNS catalysts afforded high oil/water interfacial areas and highly accessible reaction interface for sulfides and H2O2, significantly accelerating asymmetric sulfoxidation in water using H2O2 as an oxidant. In addition, they can be facilely recovered for stable reuse by simple centrifugation.

Several novel binaphthyl-based chiral hypervalent iodine(III) reagents have been prepared and structurally analysed. Various asymmetric oxidative reactions were applied to evaluate the reactivities and stereoselectivities of those reagents. Moderate to excellent yields were observed; however, very low stereoselectivities were obtained. NMR experiments indicated that these reagents are very easily hydrolysed in either chloroform or DMSO solvents leading to the limited stereoselectivities. It is concluded that the use of chiral ligands is an unsuccessful way to prepare efficient stereoselective iodine(III) reagents.

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.
