When treated with CH3ONa in CH3OH-CH2Cl2, di-9-fluorenyl sulfoxide (3) undergoes elimination readily to afford 9-thiofluorenone S-oxide (4) and fluorene (eq 2).Comparison of the rate of the elimination to the rate of disappearance in the presence of CD3OD of the 1H NMR signal for the 9-H in 3 shows that the mechanism of this sulfine-forming elimination is (E1cB)rev, the rate of cleavage of the intermediate α-sulfinyl carbanion 7 to give 4 and a 9-fluorenyl carbanion being over 100 times slower than the rate at which 7 is protonated to regenerate 3.The (E1cB)rev behavior of this elimination is contrasted with the (E1cB)rev/(E1cB)irrev borderline behavior of the elimination of diarylmethyl (arylmethyl)sulfonyl sulfoxides 1, and a reason for this at first sight unexpected difference in behavior is presented.

A new method for the synthesis of thioaldehyde and thioketone S-oxides by an unusual base-induced β-elimination of chloroform from readily available allylic and benzylic trichloromethyl sulfoxides is described. The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions. The facile preparation of α,β-unsaturated sulfines by the new method is of special interest. A possible mechanism for this remarkable sulfine synthesis and apparently unprecedented β-elimination of chloroform is presented.
Rates of H/D Exchange of 9-Fluorenyl Sulfoxides: Evidence for an Irreversible E1cB Mechanism for Base-Induced Sulfine Formation from Methyl Diarylmethanesulfinates

A previous study had shown that the base-catalyzed, sulfine-forming eliminations of methyl 9-fluorenesulfinate (4) and other methyl diarylmethanesulfinates take place by either an E1cB-irreversible or an E2 mechanism, rather than the E1cB-reversible mechanism that had been expected.In the present work the rates (kexch) of DABCO (diazacyclooctane)-catalyzed H/D exchange of the 9-H in a series of 9-fluorenyl sulfoxides (3) have been determined at 25 deg C in CD3OD.From a plot of log kexch vs ?* for R in 3 the anticipated rate for the DABCO-catalyzed formation ofthe 9-fluorenyl carbanion from 4 (eq 3, R = OCH3) can be estimated.Comparison of this rate with the actual rate (kelim) of the DABCO-catalyzed, sulfine-forming elimination of 4 (eq 5) indicates that the elimination does not take place by an E2 mechanism in which there is a significant degree of cleavage of the S(O)-OCH3 bond in the rate-determining transition state.The results are, however, entirely consistent with an E1cB-irreversible mechanism for the elimination.
Elimination Reactions of Alkanesulfinyl Derivatives: Mechanism and Reactivity in Base-Induced Sulfine Formation from Methyl Diarylmethanesulfinates

Upon treatment in methanol at room temperature with methoxide ion methyl diarylmethanesulfinates, ArAr'CHS(O)OCH3 (1), and methyl 9-fluorenesulfinate (2) undergo elimination readily to afford the corresponding sulfines (3 and 4) in quantitative yield.Studies in CD3O-/CD3OD show that, surprisingly, elimination of 1 to give 3 is significantly faster than nucleophilic substitution by methoxide ion at the sulfinyl group (exchange of CH3O by CD3O).Even more unexpected, the kinetic isotope effect for elimination of 2-9-d (kH/kD=6.1) and absence of detectable H/D exchange of the methine proton of 1 in CD3OD prior to sulfine formation extablish that, even though the leaving group is MeO-, the elimination takes place by either an irreversible ElcB or an E2 mechanism, rather than the reversible ElcB mechanism found (ref 4 and 7) for the analogous sulfene-forming elimination of arylmethanesulfonate esters with oxyanion leaving groups of comparable pKa.Reaction of amines with 2 in methanol also gives sulfine 4, and the amine-induced elimination, which has a large Broensted β, also proceeds by either an (ElcB)irrev or an ElcB-like E2 mechanism.Why sulfine-forming eliminations of 1 and 2 favor an (ElcB)irrev or E2 mechanism whereas sulfene-forming eliminations of arylmethanesulfonates with even better leaving groups proceed by an (ElcB)rev mechanism is considered and a possible explanation presented.

Cycloaddition Reactions of Sulphines and Thiones with Azoalkenes

Fluorenethione S-oxide undergoes (2+4) cycloadditions with azoalkenes to yield 2H-1,2,3-thiadiazine 1-oxides together with a small amount of the regioisomeric 6H-1,3,4-thiadiazine 1-oxides.Fluorenethione, with azoalkenes, undergoes (2+4) regiospecific cycloaddition reactions leading to the formation of 6H-1,3,4-thiadiazine derivatives.Diarylsulphines and diarylthiones fail to react with azoalkenes.
CYCLO-ADDITION REACTIONS OF THIOFLUORENONE WITH NITRONES

Thiofluorenone reacts with C-phenyl-N-methylnitrone to give, initially, a 1,2,5-oxathiazolidine.Spontaneous loss of sulphur monoxide then produces a dipolar species which reacts with a second molecule of thiofluorenone to give a 1,2-thiazolidine.This thiazolidine partially isomerizes to a 1,3-thiazolidine on heating.The corresponding 1,2-thiazolidine 1-oxide similarly undergoes a cycloreversion-recyclization reaction to the isomeric 1,3-thiazolidine 1-oxide.The reaction of thiofluorenone with C-phenyl-N-phenylnitrone gives a 1,2-thiazetidine 1-oxide, a benzothiazine S-oxide, and a thiazolidine.The formation of the first two products can be explained by involving a rearrangement of the primary 1:1 adduct; the last product may derive from the same adduct by loss of sulphur monoxide followed by a reaction with a second molecule of thione.
