Highly efficient and selective aqueous aerobic oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides or sulfones catalyzed by tungstate-functionalized nanomaterial

A Br?nsted acidic ionic solid comrising tungstate-functionaized polyorganosiloxane framework (PMO-IL-WO42?) efficiently catalysed aerobic oxidation of sulfides in aqueous medium. The catalyst can selectively produce sulfoxides or sulfones by running the reaction at room temperature or 50 °C, respectively. Because of the ionic liquid-based charged surface containing hydrophobic organic functional groups and hydrophilic sulfonic acid group, the synergestic hydrophobic/hydrophilic and redox effect of PMO-IL-WO42- as water-friendly interfacial nanocatalyst simplifies and enhances the activity and selectivity toward the target sulfoxides or sulfones in water. Moreover, the PMO-IL-WO42- nanocatalyst exhibited outstanding stability and activity and can be recycled eight reaction runs without any significant activity and selectivity loss.

Nano copper catalyzed synthesis of symmetrical/unsymmetrical sulfones from aryl/alkyl halides and p-toluenesulfonylmethylisocyanide: TosMIC as a tosyl source

A magnetically induced nano copper-catalyzed efficient and mild route for the synthesis of diaryl and alkyl/aryl sulfones from aryl/alkyl halides and tosylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) has been developed. A variety of aryl and alkyl sulfones have been obtained in very good to excellent yields. Sulfones containing molecules have medicinal relevance as they are known to possess various activities such as antifungal, anti-HIV, antitumor, and anticancer. Herein, a magnetically induced nano copper-catalyzed efficient and mild route for the synthesis of biaryl and alkyl/aryl sulfones from aryl/alkyl halides and tosylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) has been developed. A variety of aryl and alkyl sulfones have been obtained in very good to excellent yields. In this newly developed protocol TosMIC acts as sulfonyl source. The catalyst can magnetically be recovered and recycled five times without significant loss in activity.

Multicomponent Reductive Cross-Coupling of an Inorganic Sulfur Dioxide Surrogate: Straightforward Construction of Diversely Functionalized Sulfones

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.

Selective Late-Stage Oxygenation of Sulfides with Ground-State Oxygen by Uranyl Photocatalysis

Oxygenation is a fundamental transformation in synthesis. Herein, we describe the selective late-stage oxygenation of sulfur-containing complex molecules with ground-state oxygen under ambient conditions. The high oxidation potential of the active uranyl cation (UO22+) enabled the efficient synthesis of sulfones. The ligand-to-metal charge transfer process (LMCT) from O 2p to U 5f within the O=U=O group, which generates a UV center and an oxygen radical, is assumed to be affected by the solvent and additives, and can be tuned to promote selective sulfoxidation. This tunable strategy enabled the batch synthesis of 32 pharmaceuticals and analogues by late-stage oxygenation in an atom- and step-efficient manner.

Sulfoxide and sulfone compounds, as well as selective synthesis method and application thereof

The invention discloses a method for selectively synthesizing a sulfoxide compound shown as a formula (II) and a sulfone compound shown as a formula (III). In a reaction solvent, thioether (I) is usedas a reaction raw material and oxygen as an oxidation reagent, under the catalytic action of visible light and a photosensitive reagent; under the assistance of an additive, when a large-polarity proton-containing additive such as an acid and an alcohol or a solvent or an additive with excellent electron donating ability is used, a sulfoxide compound (II) is selectively generated; and when a small-polarity aprotic additive or a solvent is used, a sulfone compound (III) is selectively generated. The synthesis method has the advantages of easily available and cheap raw materials, simple reaction operation, mild reaction conditions, high yield and excellent functional group tolerance. According to the invention, synthesis and modification of some medicines are realized, and an efficient method for selectively constructing sulfoxide and sulfone compounds is provided for medicinal chemistry research.

Aryl alkyl sulfone compound and reducing coupling method for constructing sulfone compounds

The invention discloses an aryl alkyl sulfone compound shown as a formula (1) and a synthetic method thereof. The aryl alkyl sulfone compound is prepared by taking an aromatic iodide, an inorganic sulfur reagent and an alkyl bromide as reaction raw materials to carry out reacting in a solvent under action of alkali, a catalyst, a ligand, a reducing agent and an additive. According to the invention, an inorganic sulfur reagent is used as a sulfur source to construct the aryl alkyl sulfone compound in one step under catalysis and reduction conditions, so that the defect in synthesizing the arylalkyl sulfone compound by conventional oxidation of thioether is avoided. The aryl alkyl sulfone compound developed by the invention can be used for synthesizing aryl alkyl sulfone medicines.

Simple low cost porphyrinic photosensitizers for large scale chemoselective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides under green conditions: Targeted protonation of porphyrins

Aerobic photooxidation of sulfides with the diacids of meso-tetra(phenyl)porphyrin, H2TPP (acid = CF3COOH, Cl2CHCOOH, HClO4 and H2SO4) under sunlight in acetonitrile gave the corresponding sulfoxides as nearly the exclusive product. The photocatalytic activity of the dications decreased as H4TPP(ClO4)2 ? H4TPP(Cl2CHCOO)2 ? H4TPP(CF3COO)2 > H4TPP(HSO4)2. Also, H4TPP(ClO4)2 and H4TPP(Cl2CHCOO)2 showed a remarkably increased oxidative stability in comparison with the free base porphyrin. The singlet oxygen quantum yield (φΔ) of the porphyrin diacids was found to be dependent on the acid used for the protonation of H2TPP. The solvent effect on the efficiency of the oxidation reaction was investigated using acetonitrile, 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) and toluene. The higher conversions achieved in acetonitrile and DCE are in accord with the higher singlet oxygen lifetime in these solvents. Also, the lower fluorescence quantum yield of porphyrin dications in acetonitrile relative to that in DCE was used to explain the higher efficiency of the former. The porphyrin diacids can also accelerate the oxidation reaction through an acid catalysis mechanism. Also, cooxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide and diphenyl sulfide was conducted to provide insights into the nature of the active intermediates involved in the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and partial overoxidation of the sulfoxides to sulfones. The results showed much higher reactivity of the persulfoxide intermediate compared to that of singlet oxygen. The catalytic system was successfully employed to the large scale preparation of sulfoxides from the corresponding sulfides under mild conditions.

Palladium(II)-Catalyzed Synthesis of Sulfinates from Boronic Acids and DABSO: A Redox-Neutral, Phosphine-Free Transformation

A redox-neutral palladium(II)-catalyzed conversion of aryl, heteroaryl, and alkenyl boronic acids into sulfinate intermediates, and onwards to sulfones and sulfonamides, has been realized. A simple Pd(OAc)2 catalyst, in combination with the sulfur dioxide surrogate 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis(sulfur dioxide) (DABSO), is sufficient to achieve rapid and high-yielding conversion of the boronic acids into the corresponding sulfinates. Addition of C- or N-based electrophiles then allows conversion into sulfones and sulfonamides, respectively, in a one-pot, two-step process.
