Phosphines were previously unusable as Pummerer-type nucleophiles due to competing redox chemistry with sulfoxides. Here we circumvent this problem to achieve a formal phosphine Pummerer reaction that offers thioalkyl phosphonium salts that, in turn, give rise to diverse vinyl sulfides via Wittig olefinations. Thirty vinyl sulfides are thus prepared from (alkylthioalkyl)triphenyl phosphonium salts and aldehydes. The hydrolysis of these vinyl sulfides offers an efficient and versatile two-step one-carbon homologation of aldehydes to ketones.

The development of heterogeneous, cost-effective and environmentally benign catalysts to construct C=C bonds is highly desirable. We report here Co@N-doped carbon nanotubes (Co@NCNT) as a catalyst for a novel synthesis of styryl sulfides via dehydrogenative coupling of benzyl alcohols and DMSO under anaerobic conditions. This reaction maintains high atom efficiency as the C=C bond is formed without the cracking of the C-S bond. We proposed that Co modified N-doped carbon sites are the active sites, different from traditionally believed metal centers for dehydrogenative C-C coupling. Moreover, the Co@NCNT catalyst could be easily separated and recycled for at least six runs. This work opens up a new application of metal-N-C catalysts in C=C bond-forming reactions in synthetic chemistry.

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) reacted with arylaldehydes under basic conditions to afford sulfide 1, β-(benzyloxy)styrene 2 and dialkyl sulfoxide 3, while the reaction of benzophenone with DMSO gave 1,1-diphenylethylene 4, 1,1-diphenyl-2-methylthioethylene 5 and sulfoxide 6 at the same time under the same conditions.
Desulfonylation of α-Methylthio-α,β-unsaturated Sulfones. A New Route to One Carbon Homologation of Aromatic Aldehydes
Huang, Xian,Zhang, Han-Zhong

α-Methylthio-α,β-unsaturated sulfones 3 prepared from aromatic aldehydes 1 and sulfone 2 react with sodium hydrogen telluride in ethanol to undergo reductive desulfonylation to give vinyl sulfides 4 with certain extent of stereospecificity.A new route to one carbon homologation of aromatic aldehydes 1 to 5 is achieved by hydrolysis of 4 with titanium tetrachloride.

Readily available (benzothiazol-2-ylthio)(trimethylsilyl)methane (2a) provides a convenient synthon for HSCH2- and enables the general conversions RR'CO -> RR'C(OH)CH(SH)R'' and RBr -> RCH(SH)SiMe3.The lithium derivative of 2a reacts with aldehydes and ketones to give Peterson olefination products which are protected vinyl mercaptans converted into vinyl mercaptans by reaction with methyllithium.This overall conversion is RR'CO -> RR'C:CHSH.
