A flavin/I2 catalyzedaerobic oxidative CH sulfenylation of anilines with thiols under mild reaction conditions is presented for the first time. This metal-free reaction provides an atom-economic pathway to prepare various aryl sulfides with outstanding functional group compatibility. Moreover, it consumes molecular oxygen as the only terminal oxidant and produces environmentally-friendly H2O as the

thiolation of unprotected anilines with thiols for the synthesis of sulfide anilines has been described. The combinational use of I2 and DMSO played an important role to realize this kind of transformation without the aid of a metal catalyst and strong oxidants. The reaction selectivity was well controlled to provide mono-, bis-, and trisubstituted diaryl sulfide derivatives. More importantly, iodination

Six new diphenyl sulfoxide and five new diphenyl sulfones were designed, synthesized, and tested for their inhibition of human and Escherichia coli thymidylate synthase (TS) and of the growth of cells in tissue culture. The best sulfoxide inhibitor of human TS was 3-chloro-N-((3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4-oxo-6-quinazolinyl)methyl)-4-(phenylsulfinyl)-N-(prop-2-ynyl)-aniline (7c) that had a K-i of 27 nM. No sulfone improved on TS inhibition by the previously reported 4-(N-((3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-6-quinazolinyl)methyl)-N-prop-2-ynylamino)phenyl phenyl sulfone (K-i = 12 nM). Nevertheless, one sulfone, 4-((2-chlorophenyl)sulfonyl)-N-((3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4-oxo-6-quinazolinyl)methyl)-N-(prop-2-ynyl)analine, was selected, on the basis of its inhibition of both TS and cell growth, for antitumor testing; it gave a 61% increase in life span to mice bearing the thymidine kinase-deficient L5178Y (TK-) lymphoma. A crystal structure of N-((3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4-oxo-6-quinazolinyl)methyl)-4-((2-methylphenyl)sulfinyl)-N-(prop-2-ynyl)aniline complexed with E. coli TS was solved and revealed selective binding of one sulfoxide enantiomer. AMBER calculations showed that the enantioselection was due to asymmetric electrostatic effects at the mouth of the active site. In contrast, a similar crystal structure of the sulfoxide 7c, along with AMBER calculations, indicated that both enantiomers bound, but with different affinities. The side chain of Phe176 shifted in order to structurally accommodate the chlorine of the more weakly bound enantiomer.
