Modulation of photochemical oxidation of thioethers to sulfoxides or sulfones using an aromatic ketone as the photocatalyst

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.

The reaction proceeds in the presence of 2 mol % ofVO(acac)2 at room temperature. All sulfoxides andsulfones were detected by gas chromatography, and the molecular structures of2-methylbenzyl 4-methylphenyl sulfone, 4-methylbenzyl 4-methylphenyl sulfone,2-bromobenzyl 4-methylphenyl sulfone, and 4-tert-butylbenzyl benzyl sulfone were determined by singlecrystal X-ray crystallography.

A {Ti6W4}-Cluster-Substituted Polyoxotungstate: Synthesis, Structure, and Catalytic Oxidation Properties

A novel Ti-W-O-cluster-substituted tungstoantimonate (TA), [H2N(CH3)2]3Na4H9[{Ti6W4O18(OH)(H2O)3}(B-α-SbW9O33)3]·20H2O (1), has been made by hydrothermal reactions of trivacant [B-α-SbW9O33]9- units, Ti4+ cations, and WO42- anions in the presence of [H2N(CH3)2]·Cl and structurally characterized. Intriguingly, the polyoxoanion of 1 is constructed from three [B-α-SbW9O33]9- units and a previously unobserved decanuclear heterometallic Ti-W-O cluster [Ti6W4O18(OH)(H2O)3]11+ ({Ti6W4}) that is comprised of an octahedral [Ti6WO6(H2O)3]18+ cluster and an edge-sharing [W3O12(OH)]7- fragment via six W-O-Ti/W linkers. Furthermore, studies on the catalytic oxidation properties reveal that 1 possesses good catalytic activity toward the oxidation reactions of various sulfides and cyclooctene based on the environmentally friendly oxidant H2O2.

{Ti6}/{Ti10} Wheel Cluster Substituted Silicotungstate Aggregates

Two novel Ti-oxo wheel cluster substituted silicotungstates (STs) [H2N(CH3)2]9H9[Ti6O6(SiW10O37)3]·11H2O (1) and [H2N(CH3)2]16H10[Ti10O11(SiW10O37)2(SiW9O35)2]·14H2O (2) have been made by hydrothermal reactions. The polyoxoanion of 1 is a ring-shaped trimer where a Ti6O6 ({Ti6}) wheel cluster is encapsulated by three divacant [SiW10O37]10- (SiW10O37) fragments. However, 2 is built by two divacant SiW10O37 units and two rare trivacant [SiW9O35]12- (SiW9O35) fragments and further installs an unprecedented Ti10O11 ({Ti10}) double-wheel cluster. To the best of our knowledge, 2 is rare in POM chemistry. Studies on the catalytic oxidation properties reveal that 1 exhibits high catalytic activity toward the oxidation of various sulfides using H2O2 as an oxidant. Furthermore, 1 can be facilely recycled and reused for at least five cycles without obvious loss of catalytic activity.

In Situ Generated Organic Peroxides in Oxidative Desulfurization of Naphtha Reformate

Abstract: The paper describes a method developed for the oxidation of organosulfur compounds using organic peroxides generated in situ under the action of atmospheric oxygen on gasoline fraction after reforming. Naphtha reformate that contained dibenzothiophene as a model substrate was subjected to oxidative desulfurization by organic peroxides generated in situ under atmospheric oxygen. The study examined various catalytic systems, including immobilized Anderson-type polyoxometalates, and initiators, which, in combination, provided effective generation of alkyl hydroperoxides, selective oxidation of organosulfur compounds in the hydrocarbon feedstock, and a high conversion rate.

Magneli-type tungsten oxide nanorods as catalysts for the selective oxidation of organic sulfides

Selective oxidation of thioethers is an important reaction to obtain sulfoxides as synthetic intermediates for applications in the chemical industry, medicinal chemistry and biology or the destruction of warfare agents. The reduced Magneli-type tungsten oxide WO3?xpossesses a unique oxidase-like activity which facilitates the oxidation of thioethers to the corresponding sulfoxides. More than 90% of the model system methylphenylsulfide could be converted to the sulfoxide with a selectivity of 98% at room temperature within 30 minutes, whereas oxidation to the corresponding sulfone was on a time scale of days. The concentration of the catalyst had a significant impact on the reaction rate. Reasonable catalytic effects were also observed for the selective oxidation of various organic sulfides with different substituents. The WO3?xnanocatalysts could be recycled at least 5 times without decrease in activity. We propose a metal oxide-catalyzed route based on the clean oxidant hydrogen peroxide. Compared to other molecular or enzyme catalysts the WO3?xsystem is a more robust redox-nanocatalyst, which is not susceptible to decomposition or denaturation under standard conditions. The unique oxidase-like activity of WO3?xcan be used for a wide range of applications in synthetic, environmental or medicinal chemistry.
