The preparation of a collection of alkyl, aryl, and 1-alkenyl 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfoxides is outlined, using mostly vinyltrimethylsilane or 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethanesulfenyl chloride (5) as key starting materials. The 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group can be cleaved from many of the sulfoxides under oxidative fragmentation conditions using sulfuryl chloride and the reaction represents a new protocol for sulfinyl chloride synthesis. The method is suitable for most alkane- and arenesulfinyl chlorides (3), but is limited to highly substituted vinylic sulfinyl chlorides. 1-Alkenyl 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfoxides with reduced double bond substitution (6, 7, 11) succumb to reactions involving chlorination of the double bond. The β-effect of silicon is invoked to explain the ability of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group to induce C-S bond scission under the oxidative cleavage reaction conditions. A mechanism is offered to account for the role played by the β-silicon atom of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group. Indeed, the silicon atom is self-sacrificial in that it diverts the course of the reaction from the usual α-carbon chlorination mode to one of oxidative cleavage, whereby the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group is lost. The overall reaction calls upon the ability of silicon atoms to donate electron density by hyperconjugation.
Chlorinolyses of Alkyl (or Aryl) Phtalimidomethyl Sulfides with Sulfuryl Chloride or Chlorine in the Presence and the Absence of Acetic Acid

Alkyl and aryl phtalimidomethyl sulfides give alkane- and arenesulfenyl chlorides on reaction with equimolar sulfuryl chloride or molecular chlorine in an aprotic solvent at room temperature, but give alkene- and arenesulfinyl chlorides on reaction with two molar equivalents of the same reagent in the presence of acetic anhydride under the same conditions.The utility of these reactions for the synthesis of organo sulfenyl chlorides and sulfinyl chlorides was confirmed.Keywords- chlorinolysis; oxidative cleavage; alkyl (or aryl) phtalimidomethyl sulfide; alkane (or arene) sulfinyl chloride; 2-chloro-alkyl sulfides; α,β-unsaturated sulfides
