the corresponding sulfide in the presence of hydrogenperoxide. Investigation of the sulfoxidation activity of this enzyme shows that activating substituents at the para-position of the aromatic ring of methyl phenyl sulfide positively influence the selectivity of the reaction, whereas strongly electron-withdrawing groups cancel the catalyzed sulfoxidation reaction. The first evidence is presented that
Enantioselective Inclusion of Methyl Phenyl Sulfoxides and Benzyl Methyl Sulfoxides by (<i>R</i>)-Phenylglycyl-(<i>R</i>)-phenylglycine and the Crystal Structures of the Inclusion Cavities
Crystalline (R)-phenylglycyl-(R)-phenylglycine [(R,R)-1] includes methyl phenyl sulfoxides (2 and 3) and benzyl methyl sulfoxides (4) with high enantioselectivity. The dipeptide exhibited different stereoselectivity depending on four structural isomers of methyl tolyl sulfoxide (C8H10OS): R for methyl 2-tolyl sulfoxide, S for methyl 3-tolyl sulfoxide, and racemic for methyl 4-tolyl sulfoxide. A structural isomer, benzyl methyl sulfoxide, was included in racemic form. Chlorophenyl methyl sulfoxides 3 (C7H7ClOS) with a similar volume showed the same enantioselectivity for their recognition. By single-crystal X-ray analyses of these inclusion compounds, it was elucidated that (R,R)-1 molecules self-assembled to form layer structures and included the sulfoxides between these layers and that the origin of the enantioselectivity based on chiral cavities was induced by conformation of the C-terminal phenyl group of the dipeptide. The relative position between the ammonio proton and the C-terminal phenyl group in one molecule of the dipeptide determined the stereochemistry of the methyl sulfinyl groups to be recognized. Various positional isomers of methyl xylyl sulfoxide having the formula of C9H12OS were subjected to the enantioselective inclusion by (R,R)-1 crystals and these results are also discussed.
Predominant (<i>S</i>)-Enantioselective Inclusion of Aryl Methyl Sulfoxides by (<i>S</i>)-Isoleucyl-(<i>S</i>)-phenylglycines
In terms of chiral recognition for racemic aryl methyl sulfoxides in the solid state, three kinds of crystalline (S)-alkylglycyl-(S)-phenylglycines were examined as potential dipeptides host molecules. When (S)-alanyl-(S)-phenylglycines [(S,S)-Ala-Phg] crystallized with aryl methyl sulfoxides, the stereochemistry of preferentially included sulfoxides depended on the individual shapes of the sulfoxides and the enantiomeric excess was relatively low. Although (S)-leucyl-(S)phenylglycines [(S,S)-Leu-Phg] and (S)-isoleucyl-(S)-phenylglycines [(S,S)-Ile-Phg] mainly included the S-form of aryl methyl sulfoxides, the enantiomeric recognition of (S,S)-Ile-Phg was superior to that of (S,S)-Leu-Phg. Single-crystal X-ray analysis of these inclusion compounds revealed that the dipeptide molecules self-assembled to form layer structures and included sulfoxides between these layers through hydrogen bonding between the proton of (+)NH(3) and the oxygen of the sulfoxide. Besides these host-guest interactions, the phenyl groups of the sulfoxides interacted with each other through the phenyl-phenyl interaction. Two adjacent homochiral sulfoxides make a pair having a 2-fold screw axis along the channel cavity. Thus, the self-recognition of sulfoxides made 2(1) helical column structures and had high enantioselectivity.

A variety of sulfides were converted to the corresponding sulfoxide derivatives with 70% t‐BuOOH (water) as the oxidant in the presence of catalytic quantity of Fe2(SO4)3. The method described has a wide range of applications, involves simple work‐up, exhibits chemoselectivity/enantioselectivity and proceeds under mild reaction conditions. The resulting products are obtained in good yield within a
