An improved and efficient procedure for the preparation of chiral sulfinates from sulfonyl chloride using triphenylphosphine

An improved procedure of the Sharpless method for the preparation of chiral sulfinates by triphenylphosphine is described. A mixture of sulfonyl chlorides and diacetone-d-glucose or l-menthol in the presence of triethylamine was treated with triphenylphosphine in CH₂Cl₂ at 0°C to give the sulfinates in good yields.     

Copper‐Catalyzed Coupling of Oxime Acetates with Sodium Sulfinates: An Efficient Synthesis of Sulfone Derivatives

Sulfone derivatives are important synthetic intermediates. However, the general method for their preparation is through traditional coupling reaction: the alkylation of sodium sulfinates with phenacyl halides. Based on our previous work on sodium sulfinates and oxime acetates, we herein report a novel method for sulfone derivatives by oxidative coupling with sodium sulfinates and oxime acetates using copper as catalyst. The sulfonylvinylamine products could be formed in excellent yields. Upon hydrolysis by silica gel in CH₂Cl₂, β‐ketosulfones could also be efficiently constructed. Various sulfonylvinylamines and β‐ketosulfones were obtained in good to excellent yields under the optimized reaction conditions. Mechanistic studies indicated that this transformation involved copper‐catalyzed N? O bond cleavage, activation of a vinyl sp² C? H bond, and C? S bond formation. The oxime acetates act as both a substrate and an oxidant, thus the reaction needs no additional oxidants or additives.     

One-pot synthesis of sulfonamides from methyl sulfinates using ultrasound

Room temperature ultrasonic irradiation of neat mixtures of methyl sulfinates and primary or secondary amines (1.5 equiv) produced sulfinamides, which on m-CPBA oxidation (in dichloromethane) were converted into the corresponding sulfonamides. The two steps can be accomplished in one pot, in good overall yields, when using secondary amines, but primary amines give better sulfonamide yields when the peracid oxidation is effected on the purified sulfinamide. This constitutes a mild, efficient, and potentially scalable route to sulfonamides, which obviates the use of water sensitive, often lachrymatory sulfonyl chlorides and large reagent excesses.     

A novel synthesis of aryl methyl sulfones and β-hydroxysulfones from sodium sulfinates and di-tert-butyl peroxide in H2O medium

A novel and convenient synthetic route for aryl methyl sulfones and β-hydroxysulfones was developed via the radical reaction between sodium sulfinates and di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP). Without any catalysts and additives, the synthetic process could be smoothly carried out to afford the target products in good to excellent yields in H₂O medium, demonstrating its promising application. In the present system, H₂O could act not only as a green solvent but also as a reactant.     

Synthesis of sulfonamides promoted by alkyl iodide via a hypervalent iodine intermediate

Abstract

A new method for the preparation of sulfonamides from sodium sulfinates and amines is developed. A stoichiometric amount of m-chloroperbenzoic acid as oxidant and a catalytic amount of 1-iodopropane provides the corresponding sulfonamides in good yields under mild reaction conditions. In this protocol, 1-iodopropane is first oxidized by m-chloroperbenzoic acid into the corresponding hypervalent iodine intermediate iodosylpropane, which is highly unstable and decomposes at once to form hypoiodous acid. Then, the following reaction of the generated active hypoiodous acid with sodium sulfinates and amines results in the corresponding sulfonamides.     

MASS SPECTRA OF SELECTED SULFONES SULFONE-SULFINATE REARRANGEMENT

Abstract

Mass spectra of three sulfones selected to reveal certain structural features were obtained and interpreted. The mass spectra of the two isomeric sulfones, benzyl methyl sulfone and methyl p-tolyl sulfone, were quite different. The spectra showed that rearrangement of sulfones to the isomeric sulfinates occurs under the influence of the electron impact and that the migration of the aryl group is preferred over migration of the alkyl group.     

Synthesis of sulfonamides from azoles and sodium sulfinates at ambient temperature

NBS or NIS mediated direct SN bond formation between azoles and sodium sulfinates is described. The reaction shows good substrate scope and tolerates a wide range of functionalities in both azoles and sodium sulfinate substrates. Pyrazoles are also suitable for this method, various 4-halopyrazoles derivatives were obtained by using N-halosuccinimide (NXS) as the halogen source.     

Cobalt-catalyzed stereoselective iodosulfonylation and diiodination of alkynes via oxidation of potassium iodide in air

Cobalt-catalyzed iodosulfonylation of alkynes can be achieved using sodium sulfinates in the presence of KI. This procedure produces numerous stereoselective (E)-β-iodoalkenyl sulfones with good yields and suppresses the formation of diiodoalkenes. Furthermore, when this reaction is performed in the absence of sodium sulfinates, the expected (E)-diiodoalkenes are obtained.     

Desulfinylative Pd-catalyzed coupling reaction of arenediazonium salt with aryl sulfinates to give unsymmetrical biaryls

An efficient route for the synthesis of unsymmetrical biaryls was developed via palladium catalyzed reaction of arenediazonium salts and aryl sulfinates under inert atmosphere. This synthesis involves cascade processes. Tetrabutylammonium iodide was used as an iodide source for in situ formation of aryl iodide, followed by desulfinylative cross-coupling reaction between aryl sulfinates and aryl iodides. A wide range of biaryls were selectively prepared in one pot from simple substrates in good to excellent yields.

Photoinduced C(sp3)–H sulfination empowers the direct and chemoselective introduction of the sulfonyl group

Direct installation of the sulfinate group by the functionalization of unreactive aliphatic C–H bonds can provide access to most classes of organosulfur compounds, because of the central position of sulfinates as sulfonyl group linchpins. Despite the importance of the sulfonyl group in synthesis, medicine, and materials science, a direct C(sp³)–H sulfination reaction that can convert abundant aliphatic C–H bonds to sulfinates has remained elusive, due to the reactivity of sulfinates that are incompatible with typical oxidation-driven C–H functionalization approaches. We report herein a photoinduced C(sp³)–H sulfination reaction that is mediated by sodium metabisulfite and enables access to a variety of sulfinates. The reaction proceeds with high chemoselectivity and moderate to good regioselectivity, affording only monosulfination products and can be used for a solvent-controlled regiodivergent distal C(sp³)–H functionalization.

The photoinduced C–H sulfination of abundant aliphatic C–H bonds provides direct access to all major classes of organosulfur compounds via the intermediacy of synthetically versatile sulfinate salts.     

Ag/AgBr/Co–Ni–NO3 Layered Double Hydroxide Nanocomposites with Highly Adsorptive and Photocatalytic Properties

A facile anion‐exchange precipitation method was used to synthesize bifunctional Ag/AgBr/Co–Ni–NO₃ layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocomposites by adding AgNO₃ solution to a suspension of Co–Ni–Br LDH. The Ag/AgBr nanoparticles were highly dispersed on the sheets of Co–Ni–NO₃ LDH. The prepared nanocomposites were used to adsorb and photocatalytically degrade organic pollutants from water. Without light illumination, the nanocomposites quickly adsorbed methyl orange, and the adsorptive capacity, which can reach 230 mg g^?1, is much higher than those of Co–Ni–Br LDH, Ag/AgBr, and activated carbon. The photocatalytic activities of the nanocomposites for the removal of dyes and phenol are higher than those of Co–Ni–Br LDH and Ag/AgBr. The proposed method can be applied to prepare other LDH/silver salt composites. The high absorptive capacity and good photocatalytic activity of such nanostructures could have wide applications in wastewater treatment.

An efficient approach for the synthesis of novel methyl sulfones in acetic acid medium and evaluation of antimicrobial activity

A series of nine methyl sulphones ( 3a –3 i ) starting from the aldehydes ( 1a–1i ) were synthesized in two consecutive steps. In the first step, preparation of allyl alcohols ( 2a–2i ) from their corresponding aldehydes by the reaction of sodium borohydride in methanol at room temperature is reported. Finally, methyl sulphones are synthesized by condensing sodium methyl sulfinates with allyl alcohols in the presence of BF ₃ .Et ₂ O in acetic acid medium at room temperature for about 2–3 h. The reaction conditions are simple, yields are high (85%–95%), and the products were obtained with good purity. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by their ¹ H, ¹³ C NMR, and mass spectral analysis. All the title compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity. Among the compounds tested, the compound 3f has inhibited both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria effectively and compound 3i has shown potent antifungal activity. These promising components may help to develop more potent drugs in the near future for the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections.     

Intramolecular homolytic substitution of sulfinates and sulfinamides--a computational study

Ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) calculations predict that intramolecular homolytic substitution by alkyl radicals at the sulfur atom in sulfinates proceeds through a smooth transition state in which the attacking and leaving radicals adopt a near collinear arrangement. When forming a five-membered ring and the leaving radical is methyl, G3(MP2)-RAD//ROBHandHLYP/6-311++G(d,p) calculations predict that this reaction proceeds with an activation energy (ΔE(1)(?)) of 43.2 kJ mol(-1). ROBHandHLYP/6-311++G(d,p) calculations suggest that the formation of five-membered rings through intramolecular homolytic substitution by aryl radicals at the sulfur atom in sulfinates and sulfinamides, with expulsion of phenyl radicals, proceeds with the involvement of hypervalent intermediates. These intermediates further dissociate to the observed products, with overall energy barriers of 45-68 kJ mol(-1), depending on the system of interest. In each case, homolytic addition to the phenyl group competes with substitution, with calculated barriers of 51-78 kJ mol(-1). This computational study complements and provides insight into previous experimental observations.
