A phenyltrimethylammonium tribromide-mediated nucleophilic substitution/oxygen transformation reaction of benzyl halides with DMSO has been developed. In this transition-metal-free reaction, DMSO acts as not only a solvent but also a "S(O)Me" source, thus providing a convenient method for the efficient and direct synthesis of various benzyl methyl sulfoxides.
BIOTRANSFORMATION OF ORGANIC SULFIDES. PART 6. FORMATION OF CHIRAL para-SUBSTITUTED BENZYL METHYL SULFOXIDES BY HELMINTHOSPORIUM SPECIES NRRL 4671

, p. 1561 - 1568 (2007/10/02)
The fungus Helminthosporium species NRRL 4671 has been used for the biotransformation of a series of para-substituted benzyl sulfides with substituent groups consisting of trifluoromethyl, halo, hydroxy, methoxy, acetoxy, nitro, cyano, amino, acetamido, acyl and carboxylic acid units.In all cases, sulfoxide formation occurred in good yoeld and with predominant (S) chirality at the sulfur position.A minor amount of sulfone product was also obtained from the halo- and methoxy-substituted substrates.
The mechanism of sulphide oxidation by Mortierella isabellina NRRL 1757
Holland, Herbert L.,Carter, Ian M.
, p. 2420 - 2425 (2007/10/02)
A series of aryl substituted phenyl and benzyl methyl sulphides has been oxidized to the corresponding sulphoxides by Mortierella isabellina NRRL 1757.The oxygen atom introduced during this enzymic oxidation is derived from the atmosphere and not from wat
