Simple and readily available ketones have been identified to promote the visible-light-promoted aerobic oxidation of sulfides and sulfoxides to sulfones. We report a simple and environmental-friendly oxidation protocol of sulfides to sulfones. Various sulfides were efficiently oxidized into sulfones with O2 as sustainable terminate oxidant, readily available thioxanthone as the photocatalyst and 3-pentanone (DEK) as the solvent. The protocol tolerates diverse functional groups, including halogens, ketone, ester, cyano, heterocycle and even cyclopropyl groups. The detection of the aerobic oxidation reaction in DEK by GC and HRMS disclosed that the key active intermediates were generated.

We have developed an eco-friendly and chemo-selective photocatalytic synthesis of sulfoxides or sulfones via oxidation of sulfides (thioethers) at ambient temperature using air or O2 as the oxidant. An inexpensive thioxanthone was used as the photocatalyst. Our method offers excellent chemical yields and good functional group tolerance. The hydrogen bonding between hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) and sulfoxides may play an important role in minimizing the over-oxidization of sulfoxides.

New heterogeneous catalysts comprising of peroxidoniobium(V) complexes immobilized on amino acid grafted cross-linked poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) resin has been developed. Results of FTIR, Raman, NMR, XPS, XRD, EDX, SEM, BET, TGA, and elemental analysis confirmed the successful anchoring of triperoxidoniobium(V), [Nb(O2)3]? species to the host polymer via the pendant amino acid groups. The supported catalysts exhibited excellent performance in epoxidation of styrene and a range of cyclic and terpenic compounds under environmentally acceptable solvent-free condition, with aqueous H2O2 as oxidant. The catalytic protocols provided excellent conversion to the desired epoxide (up to 100%) with selectivity > 99%, TON as high as 1000, and high H2O2 utilization efficiency (92–97%). Moreover, the catalysts efficiently facilitated chemoselective solvent-free oxidation of a variety of thioethers to sulfones at room temperature. Simple operational strategy, easy recyclability for multiple reaction cycles with the consistent activity-selectivity profile are the additional significant attributes of the developed catalytic processes.

A new dioxovanadium(V) complex was prepared by the reaction of VO(acac)2 with a tridentate ONO donor Schiff base, derived by condensing 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde and 4-aminobenzohydrazide. The structures of synthesized products were characterized spectroscopically through FT-IR, 1H & 13C NMR and by elemental composition through combustion analysis. The structure of the complex was determined with the help of single crystal X-ray crystallography. It was inferred from the diffraction data that the geometry around the central metal ion in the complex is distorted square pyramidal. The tridentate Schiff base ligand is bonded to the central metal through the oxygen of the carbonyl group, the deprotonated phenolic oxygen atom and the azomethine nitrogen. The pyramid base is completed by other oxo ligands that are in cis positions. The theoretical calculations, performed by DFT using B3LYP/Def2-TZVP level of theory, determined that the intended outcomes are in compliance with the actual consequences. Furthermore, the catalytic potential of the vanadium complex was explored for the selective oxidation of the aryl and alkyl sulfides to the corresponding sulfones in the presence of 30% aqueous H2O2 in ethanol. In this work, rPBE and B3LYP methods are used to locate transition structures and to compare free energies of reactants, transition structures and the products involved in the reaction. Analyzing nudge elastic band data shows that the barrier free energy for the oxidation of sulfide to sulfoxide and sulfone are 13 and 83 kcal.mol?1, respectively. The main advantages of the present catalytic study are high yields of the products, less time required for the completion of the reaction and simple work-out procedure.

The invention discloses a method for preparing sulfone and N-oxygen compound by using a green and efficient oxidation system. The method comprises the following steps of: by using a tertiary amine compound or aromatic thioether or fatty thioether compound as a raw material, H2O2 as an oxidant, methanol as a reaction solvent and potassium carbonate as an alkali, introducing sulfuryl fluoride 5O2F2gas as an accelerator; performing stirring at room temperature under a sealed condition for oxidation reaction; and after finishing the reaction, filtering to remove solid potassium carbonate, dryingto remove water, filtering to obtain a crude product, and finally carrying out column chromatography separation to obtain a pure product. Tertiary amine is oxidized into an N-oxygen compound, and thethioether is oxidized into sulfone. According to the method, the sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2) which is very cheap and easy to obtain is used as the reaction promoter, green and environment-friendly hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is used as an oxidizing agent, and so that the yield of the reaction is generally high; after the reaction, byproducts are only water and inorganic salts (SO4 and F) whichare easy to remove and free of pollution, and the green and efficient oxidation system can be realized, and therefore, the method is suitable for large-scale industrial production.

Conventionally, sulfones are prepared by oxidation of sulfides with strong oxidants. Now, a multicomponent reductive cross-coupling involving an inorganic salt (sodium metabisulfite) for the straightforward construction of sulfones is disclosed. Both intramolecular and intermolecular reductive cross-couplings were comprehensively explored, and diverse sulfones were accessible from the corresponding alkyl and aryl halides. Intramolecular cyclic sulfones were systematically obtained from five- to twelve-membered rings. Naturally occurring aliphatic systems, such as steroids, saccharides, and amino acids, were highly compatible with the SO2-insertion reductive cross-coupling. Four clinically applied drug molecules, which include multiple heteroatoms and functional groups with active hydrogens, were successfully prepared via a late-stage SO2 insertion. Mechanistic studies show that alkyl radicals and sulfonyl radicals were both involved as intermediates in this transformation.

Abstract: The reaction of sulfoxides with peroxy acids in various organic media was studied. The reaction mechanism involves the rapid formation of a sulfoxide-–peroxy acid intermediate which decomposes in the second stage to form carboxylic acid and the corresponding sulfone. The second stage is the rate-limiting step. The reaction medium significantly affects the rate of oxidation. The calculated activation parameters of the oxidation process indicate a compensation effect in the investigated reaction. Correlations between the main physicochemical parameters of solvents and the effective rate constants (k) of dimethyl sulfoxide oxidation with peroxy acids were found. Depending on the reaction conditions, the main factors affecting the k values are specific and nonspecific solvation of the reactants and structural factors.
