, p. 1207 - 1213 (1994)
A new and useful procedure for the synthesis of sulfinyl chlorides is described involving a combined action of trimethylsilyl acetate and sulfuryl chloride as a oxidative chlorination system on sulfenyl derivatives.
Allicin and derivates are cysteine protease inhibitors with antiparasitic activity

Allicin and derivatives thereof inhibit the CAC1 cysteine proteases falcipain 2, rhodesain, cathepsin B and L in the low micromolar range. The structure-activity relationship revealed that only derivatives with primary carbon atom in vicinity to the thiosulfinate sulfur atom attacked by the active-site Cys residue are active against the target enzymes. Some compounds also show potent antiparasitic activity against Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosoma brucei brucei.
Oxidative fragmentations of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfoxides - Routes to alkane-, arene-, and highly substituted 1-alkenesulfinyl chlorides

The preparation of a collection of alkyl, aryl, and 1-alkenyl 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfoxides is outlined, using mostly vinyltrimethylsilane or 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethanesulfenyl chloride (5) as key starting materials. The 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group can be cleaved from many of the sulfoxides under oxidative fragmentation conditions using sulfuryl chloride and the reaction represents a new protocol for sulfinyl chloride synthesis. The method is suitable for most alkane- and arenesulfinyl chlorides (3), but is limited to highly substituted vinylic sulfinyl chlorides. 1-Alkenyl 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfoxides with reduced double bond substitution (6, 7, 11) succumb to reactions involving chlorination of the double bond. The β-effect of silicon is invoked to explain the ability of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group to induce C-S bond scission under the oxidative cleavage reaction conditions. A mechanism is offered to account for the role played by the β-silicon atom of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group. Indeed, the silicon atom is self-sacrificial in that it diverts the course of the reaction from the usual α-carbon chlorination mode to one of oxidative cleavage, whereby the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group is lost. The overall reaction calls upon the ability of silicon atoms to donate electron density by hyperconjugation.
