A convenient, practical and general method for the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical cyclic disulfides based on the reaction of sulfur with sodium sulfide in the presence of didecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) as a phase transfer catalyst is described.

Treatment of the yttrium dialkyl complex TpMe2Y(CH2Ph)2(THF) (TpMe2 = tri(3,5 dimethylpyrazolyl)borate, THF = tetrahydrofuran) with S8 in a 1:1 molar ratio in THF at room temperature afforded a yttrium pentasulfide TpMe2Y(κ4-S5) (THF) (1) in 93% yield. The yttrium monoalkyl complex TpMe2CpYCH2Ph(THF) reacted with S8 in a 1:0.5 molar ratio under the same conditions to give another yttrium pentasulfide [(TpMe2)2Y]+[Cp2Y(κ4-S5)]? (10) in low yield. Further investigations indicated that the S52- anion facilely turned into the corresponding thioethers or organic disulfides, and released the redundant S8, when it reacted with some electrophilic reagents. The mechanism for the formation of the S52- ligand has been investigated by the controlling of the reaction stoichiometric ratios and the stepwise reactions.

Direct and indirect evidence, of unexpected stereoselective reductase-catalysed deoxygenations of sulfoxides, was found. The deoxygenations proceeded simultaneously, with the expected dioxygenase-catalysed asymmetric sulfoxidation of sulfides, during some biotransformations with the aerobic bacterium Pseudomonas putida UV4. Stereoselective reductase-catalysed asymmetric deoxygenation of racemic alkylaryl, dialkyl and phenolic sulfoxides was observed, without evidence of the reverse sulfoxidation reaction, using anaerobic bacterial strains. A purified dimethyl sulfoxide reductase, obtained from the intact cells of the anaerobic bacterium Citrobacter braakii DMSO 11, yielded, from the corresponding racemates, enantiopure alkylaryl sulfoxide and thiosulfinate samples.
