A Convenient Procedure for the Reductive Deselenization of Selenides with Nickel Boride

, p. 1417 - 1418 (1984)
Nickel boride, readily produced in situ from nickel chloride hexahydrate and sodium borohydride, efficiently reduces selenides to hydrocarbons under mild conditions.
Microbial Oxidation of Alkyl Aryl Sulfides to the Corresponding Optically Active Sulfoxides

Incubation of alkyl aryl sulfides with growing cells of Corynebacterium equi IFO 3730 afforded the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones.The selectivity for the formation of sulfoxides over sulfones was higher with sulfides which have shorter alkyl chains.When methyl sulfides were used as substrates, formation of the corresponding sulfones was completely suppressed.Sulfoxides were revealed to have 87-100percent optically purities as to the (R) absolute configuration by HPLC analysis.The culture conditions seriously influenced the yield of oxidation products.High conversion of sulfides was attained when the reaction was carried out with grow ing cells in the logarithmic phase, in medium containing hexadecane as the carbon and energy source.
ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS OF CHIRAL SULFOXIDES VIA MICROBIAL OXIDATION OF SULFIDES
Ohta, Hiromichi,Okamoto, Yashushi,Tsuchihashi, Gen-ichi
, p. 205 - 208 (2007/10/02)
Incubation of alkyl aryl and allyl aryl sulfides with growing cells of Corynebacterium equi IFO 3730 gave the corresponding optically active sulfoxides with high enantiomeric excess.
