A mild, chemoselective and sustainable biocatalysed synthesis of sulfoxides has been developed exploiting CALB and using AcOEt with a dual role of more environmentally friendly reaction solvent and enzyme substrate. A series of sulfoxides, including the drug omeprazole, have been synthesised in high yields and with excellent E-factors.

In this Article, we expand upon the catalytic hydrothiolation of 1,3-dienes to afford either allylic or homoallylic sulfides with high regiocontrol. Mechanistic studies support a pathway in which regioselectivity is dictated by the choice of counterion associated with the Rh center. Non-coordinating counterions, such as SbF6-, allow for η4-diene coordination to Rh complexes and result in allylic sulfides. In contrast, coordinating counterions, such as Cl-, favor neutral Rh complexes in which the diene binds η2 to afford homoallylic sulfides. We propose mechanisms that rationalize a fractional dependence on thiol for the 1,2-Markovnikov hydrothiolation while accounting for an inverse dependence on thiol in the 3,4-anti-Markovnikov pathway. Through the hydrothiolation of an essential oil (β-farnesene), we achieve the first enantioselective synthesis of (-)-agelasidine A.

An interrupted Schmidt rearrangement/Hosomi-Sakurai reaction of N-tosyl and S-substituted vinyl azides is reported. With BF3·Et2O as a Lewis acid promoter, the denitrogenative fragmentation of vinyl azides facilitates the generation of the N/S-stabilized carbocations, which further undergo nucleophilic addition by allyl/propargylsilanes for C-C bond formation. As a result, a variety of homoallylic/allenylic amines can be afforded in good yields under mild reaction conditions with well-defined functional-group tolerance.
