Several novel binaphthyl-based chiral hypervalent iodine(III) reagents have been prepared and structurally analysed. Various asymmetric oxidative reactions were applied to evaluate the reactivities and stereoselectivities of those reagents. Moderate to excellent yields were observed; however, very low stereoselectivities were obtained. NMR experiments indicated that these reagents are very easily hydrolysed in either chloroform or DMSO solvents leading to the limited stereoselectivities. It is concluded that the use of chiral ligands is an unsuccessful way to prepare efficient stereoselective iodine(III) reagents.

Treatment of a sulfide with a catalytic amount of a 1,3-diketone in the presence of silica sulfuric acid as a co-catalyst and hydrogen peroxide (50% aq) as the stoichiometric oxidant leads to the corresponding sulfoxide product. The reaction is effective for diaryl, aryl-alkyl and dialkyl sulfides and is tolerant of oxidisable and acid sensitive functional groups. Investigations have shown that the tris-peroxide 2, formed on reaction of pentane-2,4-dione with hydrogen peroxide under acidic reaction conditions, can oxidise two equivalents of sulfide using the exocyclic peroxide groups whereas the endocyclic peroxide remains intact. Calculations provide a mechanism consistent with experimental observations and suggest the reaction proceeds via an initial acid catalysed ring opening of a protonated tris-peroxide prior to oxygen transfer to a sulfur nucleophile.

Replacing the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with oxidation reactions for the synthesis of complex pharmaceutical molecules coupled with enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is highly attractive, but it is rarely explored. Here, we report an electrochemical protocol for selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides over a CoFe layered double hydroxide (CoFe-LDH) anode in an aqueous-MeCN electrolyte, coupled with 2-fold promoted cathodic H2productivity. This protocol displays high activity (85-96% yields), catalyst stability (10 cycles), and generality (12 examples) in selective sulfide oxidation. We demonstrate its applicability in the synthesis of four important pharmaceutical related sulfoxide compounds with scalability (up to 1.79 g). X-ray spectroscopy investigations reveal that the CoFe-LDH material evolved into amorphous CoFe-oxyhydroxide under catalytic conditions. This work may pave the way towards sustainable organic synthesis of valuable pharmaceuticals coupled with H2production.

A facile and efficient visible-light-mediated method for directly converting sulfides into sulfoxides under clean conditions without using any photocatalysts is reported. This method exhibited favourable compatibility with functional groups and afforded a series of sulfoxides with high selectivity and yields. Moreover, in order to shed more light on such a transformation, detailed mechanism studies were carried out both experimentally and theoretically. The readily accessible, low-cost and eco-friendly nature of the developed method will endow it with attractive applications in chemical synthesis.

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.

A practical and mild method for the switchable synthesis of sulfoxides or sulfonesviaselective oxidation of sulfides using cheapN-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) as the oxidant has been developed. These highly chemoselective transformations were simply achieved by varying the NFSI loading with H2O as the green solvent and oxygen source without any additives. The good functional group tolerance makes the strategy valuable.
Two enantiocomplementary Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases newly identified for asymmetric oxyfunctionalization of thioether

Two enantiocomplementary Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases RaBVMO and AmBVMO were identified by genome mining for the asymmetric sulfoxidation. Both recombinant BVMOs have optimal pH of 9.0 and temperature of 35 °C. The half-lives of RaBVMO and AmBVMO at 30 °C were 24.4 and 24.6 h. RaBVMO and AmBVMO exhibited broad substrate spectrum and could catalyze the oxidization of various compounds including fatty ketones, cyclic ketones, and thioethers. Kinetic parameters analysis revealed that both RaBVMO and AmBVMO displayed higher catalytic efficiency toward thioanisole than cyclohexanone. As much as 50 mM thioanisole could be completely oxidized by AmBVMO and RaBVMO with 99% (R) and 95% (S), respectively. Molecular docking analysis further provides evidence for the complementary enantioselectivity of RaBVMO and AmBVMO. Our results demonstrate the potential application of the two novel BVMOs in asymmetric synthesis of sulfoxides.

The serine 244 to aspartate (S244D) variant of the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP199A4 was used to expand its substrate range beyond benzoic acids. Substrates, in which the carboxylate group of the benzoic acid moiety is replaced were oxidised with high activity by the S244D mutant (product formation rates >60 nmol.(nmol-CYP)?1.min?1) and with total turnover numbers of up to 20,000. Ethyl α-hydroxylation was more rapid than methyl oxidation, styrene epoxidation and S-oxidation. The S244D mutant catalysed the ethyl hydroxylation, epoxidation and sulfoxidation reactions with an excess of one stereoisomer (in some instances up to >98 %). The crystal structure of 4-methoxybenzoic acid-bound CYP199A4 S244D showed that the active site architecture and the substrate orientation were similar to that of the WT enzyme. Overall, this work demonstrates that CYP199A4 can catalyse the stereoselective hydroxylation, epoxidation or sulfoxidation of substituted benzene substrates under mild conditions resulting in more sustainable transformations using this heme monooxygenase enzyme.

Self-assembly of polyoxometalates, transition metal salts, and 2,6-bis(2′-pyridyl)-4-hydroxypyridine (LOH) obtained four organic-inorganic hybrids [Co2.5(LOH)(LO)2(H2O)2(PW12O39)]·3CH3CN·2OH (1), [Zn1.5(LOH)3]·(PMo12O40)·CH3OH·2H2O (2), [Cd1.5(LOH)3]·(PW12O40)·2CH3OH·1.5H2O (3), and [Mn(LOH)2]·(PW12O40)·2CH3CN·H3O (4). Hybrid 1 exhibits an extended chain, which could be further connected into a 3D supramolecular architecture by H-bonds. Hybrids 2-4 feature monomolecular structures, which are further bridged via H-bonds to yield charming 3D supramolecular structures. Noteworthy, 1 and 2 can be employed as recyclable and highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts. The activated 1 displays a high catalytic activity for the cycloaddition reaction of CO2 and epoxides. Hybrid 2 exhibits an excellent catalytic performance for the oxidative desulfurization reaction.

A light-harvesting ruthenium porphyrin substituted covalently with four boron-dipyrrin (BODIPY) moieties has been synthesized and studied. The resulting complex showed an efficient decarbonylation reaction predominantly due to a photo-induced energy transfer process. Chemical oxidation of the ruthenium(ii) BODIPY-porphyrin afforded a high-energytrans-dioxoruthenium(vi) species that is one order of magnitude more reactive towards alkene oxidation than those analogues supported by conventional porphyrins. In the presence of visible light, the ruthenium(ii) BODIPY-porphyrin displayed remarkable catalytic activity toward sulfide oxidation and alkene epoxidation using iodobenzene diacetate [PhI(OAc)2] and 2,6-dichloropyridineN-oxide (Cl2pyNO) as terminal oxidants, respectively. The findings in this work highlight that porphyrin-BODIPY conjugated metal complexes are potentially useful for visible light-promoted catalytic oxidations.
