The catalytic methyl-transfer reaction from methyl tosylate to 1-octanethiol was carried out in the presence of a simple vitamin B12 model complex, [Co(III){(C2C3)(DO)(DOH)pn}Br 2], with zinc powder as the reducing reagent at 50°C. Such a catalytic reaction proceeded via the formation and dissociation of a cobalt-carbon bond in the simple vitamin B12 model complex under non-enzymatic conditions. The mechanism for the methyl-transfer reaction was investigated by electronic and mass spectroscopies. The Co(I) species, which is generated from the reduction of the catalyst by the zinc powder, and its methylated CH3-Co complex were found to be indispensable intermediates.

A new procedure for the synthesis of aryl methyl sulfides from dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and arylsulfonyl chlorides has been achieved. In this strategy, DMC plays a dual role as both, C1 building block and green solvent. Arylsulfonyl chlorides served as the sulfur precursors, and a variety of aryl methyl sulfides were obtained in moderate to excellent yields with good functional group tolerance. Additionally, alkylsulfonyl chloride and dibenzyl carbonate are proven to be suitable substrates as well.

Sulfur-containing molecules participate in many essential biological processes. Of utmost importance is the methylthioether moiety, present in the proteinogenic amino acid methionine and installed in tRNA by radical-S-adenosylmethionine methylthiotransferases. Although the thiol–ene reaction for carbon–sulfur bond formation has found widespread applications in materials or medicinal science, a biocompatible chemo- and regioselective hydrothiolation of unactivated alkenes and alkynes remains elusive. Here, we describe the design of a general chemoselective anti-Markovnikov hydroalkyl/aryl thiolation of alkenes and alkynes—also allowing the biologically important hydromethylthiolation—by triplet–triplet energy transfer activation of disulfides. This fast disulfide–ene reaction shows extraordinary functional group tolerance and biocompatibility. Transient absorption spectroscopy was used to study the sensitization process in detail. The hereby gained mechanistic insights were successfully employed for optimization of the catalytic system. This photosensitized transformation should stimulate bioimaging applications and carbon–sulfur bond-forming late-stage functionalization chemistry, especially in the context of metabolic labelling.

The first demonstration of the hydrogenation of sulfoxides under atmospheric H2 pressure is reported. The highly efficient reaction is facilitated by a heterogeneous Ru nanoparticle catalyst. The mild reaction conditions enable the selective hydrogenation of a wide range of functionalized sulfoxides to the corresponding sulfides. The high redox ability of RuO x nanoparticles plays a key role in the hydrogenation.
