Herein we reported an efficient palladium-catalyzed enantioselective arylation of both alkyl and aryl sulfenate anions to deliver various chiral sulfoxides in good yields (up to 98%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) by the use of our developed chiral O,P-ligands (PC-Phos). PC-Phos are easily prepared in shortsteps from inexpensive commercially available starting materials. The single-crystal

A solvent-free, rapid, and highly selective oxidation of sulfides, selenides, and tellurides (chalcogenides) to the corresponding monoxides (sulfoxides, selenoxides, and telluroxides) or the corresponding dioxides (sulfones, selenones, and tellurones) has been developed using aqueous sodium hypochlorite on solid supports by exposure to microwave. Chemoselectivity and quantitative yields have been attained
Nickel-catalyzed Negishi-type cross-coupling of aryl methyl sulfoxides with arylzinc reagents has been developed. By consuming the catalyst-oxidizing methanesulfenate anion through oxidative homocoupling of the arylzinc reagent, smooth catalyst turnover could be executed. Arylzinc reagents prepared from arylmagnesium bromide, zinc bromide, and lithium bromide were optimal to afford the products in
Coenzyme NAD+ models can be applied in the photooxygenation of sulfides to sulfoxides as organocatalysts at room temperature. A series of sulfoxides are synthesized easily with this protocol and the possible mechanism is discussed. This procedure provides a reliable approach to the clean production of useful sulfoxides in synthetic chemistry.
A regioselective C–H sulfanylation of aryl sulfoxides with alkylaryl sulfides in the presence of acid anhydride was developed, which resulted in the formation of 1,4-disulfanylarenes after dealkylation of initially formed sulfonium salts. The reaction began with Pummerer-type activation of aryl sulfoxides followed by nucleophilic attack of alkylaryl sulfides. The nucleophilic attack occurred exclusively
