- Reduction of CO2 with NaBH4/I2 for the Conversion of Thiophenols to Aryl Methyl Sulfides
-
We report a tandem reaction to realize reduction of carbon dioxide with thiophenols to generate aryl methyl sulfides under the NaBH4/I2 system with 18-crown-6 as the solvent. Thiophenols bearing electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups are feasible in this reaction. Controlled experiment results indicate that 18-crown-6 plays a critical role in six-electron reduction of carbon dioxide.

- Scalable electrochemical reduction of sulfoxides to sulfides
-
A scalable reduction of sulfoxides to sulfides in a sustainable way remains an unmet challenge. This report discloses an electrochemical reduction of sulfoxides on a large scale (>10 g) under mild reaction conditions. Sulfoxides are activated using a substoichiometric amount of the Lewis acid AlCl3, which could be regeneratedviaa combination of inexpensive aluminum anode with chloride anion. This deoxygenation process features a broad substrate scope, including acid-labile substrates and drug molecules.

- Highly efficient deoxygenation of sulfoxides using hydroxyapatite-supported ruthenium nanoparticles
-
We report the first example of the deoxygenation of sulfoxides using heterogeneous catalysts with alcohols as environmentally friendly reducing reagents. Hydroxyapatitesupported Ru nanoparticles (RuNPs/HAP) act as a highly efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for deoxygenation of sulfoxides using alcohols as reductants. The catalytic activity of Ru nanoparticles is outstanding compared to other metal nanoparticles such as Pt, Pd, Rh, and Au nanoparticles. RuNPs/HAP can also catalyze the selective deoxygenation of various sulfoxides, giving the corresponding sulfides in excellent yields.

- In situ acidic carbon dioxide/ethanol system for selective oxybromination of aromatic ethers catalyzed by copper chloride
-
An environmentally benign carbon dioxide/ethanol reversible acidic system was developed for the copper(II)-catalyzed regioselective oxybromination of aromatic ethers without the need of any conventional acid additive and organic solvent. Good to excellent yields together with very good regioselectivity were achieved when easily available cupric chloride dihydrate was used as catalyst and lithium bromide as the cheap and easy-to-handle bromine source under supercritical carbon dioxide conditions. Notably, the catalytic system worked well for a wide range of aromatic ethers including sulfides, resulting in the formation of the mono-brominated products in high yields and exclusive regioselectivity. The alkylcarbonic acid in situ formed from ethanol and carbon dioxide is assumed to play the crucial role in the Braonsted acid-promoted reaction, which could probably act as the proton donator, and was studied employing in situ FT-IR technique under carbon dioxide pressure by monitoring the vibration shift of the hydroxy group of ethanol. Given with excellent bromine atom efficiency as well as no need of neutralization in waste disposal, this approach thus represents a greener pathway for the aerobic bromination of aromatic ethers. A possible catalytic cycle for the in situ alkylcarbonic acid-assisted oxybomination and the effect of supercritical carbon dioxide, i.e., activation of alcohol and enhancement of mass transfer are also discussed.

- Linker Deficiency, Aromatic Ring Fusion, and Electrocatalysis in a Porous Ni8-Pyrazolate Network
-
The cruciform linker molecule here features two designer functions: the pyrazole donors for framework construction, and the vicinal alkynyl units for benzannulation to form nanographene units into the Ni8-pyrazolate scaffold. Unlike the full 12 connections of the Ni8(OH)4(H2O)2 clusters in other Ni8-pyrazolate networks, significant linker deficiency was observed here, leaving about half of the Ni(II) sites capped by acetate ligands, which can be potentially removed to open the metal sites for reactivity. The crystalline Ni8-pyrazolate scaffold also retains the crystalline order even after thermal treatments (up to 300 °C) that served to partially graphitize the neighboring alkyne units. The resultant nanographene components enhance the electroactive properties of the porous hosts, achieving hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity that rivals that of topical nickel/palladium-enabled materials.

- Homolytic Cleavage of a B-B Bond by the Cooperative Catalysis of Two Lewis Bases: Computational Design and Experimental Verification
-
Density functional theory (DFT) investigations revealed that 4-cyanopyridine was capable of homolytically cleaving the B-B σ bond of diborane via the cooperative coordination to the two boron atoms of the diborane to generate pyridine boryl radicals. Our experimental verification provides supportive evidence for this new B-B activation mode. With this novel activation strategy, we have experimentally realized the catalytic reduction of azo-compounds to hydrazine derivatives, deoxygenation of sulfoxides to sulfides, and reduction of quinones with B2(pin)2 at mild conditions. Breaking good: The diborane B-B bond can be homolytically cleaved via the cooperative catalysis of two 4-cyanopyridine molecules. Using this combination of a diborane (B2(pin)2) and 4-cyanopyridine also allows the catalytic reduction of the N=N double bond of azo-compounds to hydrazine derivatives, deoxygenation of sulfoxides to sulfides, and reduction of quinones under mild conditions.

- The design of liquid crystalline bistolane-based materials with extremely high birefringence
-
We designed three new bistolanes with alkylsulfanyl groups. A symmetric derivative contains short terminal methylsulfanyl groups (-SCH3) on both ends, while two asymmetric derivatives contain a methylsulfanyl group on one end, as well as a highly polarizable cyano (-CN) or isothiocyanate (-NCS) group on the other end. These materials exhibited a well-defined enantiotropic nematic phase, as well as an extremely high birefringence (Δn > 0.6). Most notably, the NCS derivative achieves an extremely high value of 0.77 at 550 nm. These results should be helpful for the design and synthesis of novel nematic materials with high birefringence.

- Carbon-14 radiolabeling and tissue distribution evaluation of MMV390048
-
The antimalarial compound MMV390048 ([14C]-11) was labeled with carbon-14 isotope via a 3-step synthesis. It was obtained in a 15.5% radiochemical overall yield from carbon-14 labeled methyl iodide with a radiochemical purity of >99%. After single oral administration of [14C]-11 to albino and pigmented rats its tissue distribution profile was studied. Tissue distribution results showed high local exposure in the GI tract and excretory organs but low exposure of all other tissues. The radioactivity uptake was higher in the eyes of the pigmented rats than in the eyes of the albino rats at all-time points. The highest accumulation reached in the eyes of the pigmented rats was 0.46% at 6?hours. However, these levels are still very low as compared to the other organs studied. There was very little radioactivity from MMV390048 ([14C]-11) present in the skin of both the albino and pigmented rats. The results obtained are supportive of further development of MMV390048 as a potential antimalarial compound.

- Photocatalytic Deoxygenation of Sulfoxides Using Visible Light: Mechanistic Investigations and Synthetic Applications
-
The photocatalytic deoxygenation of sulfoxides to generate sulfides facilitated by either Ir[(dF(CF3)ppy)2(dtbbpy)]PF6 or fac-Ir(ppy)3 is reported. Mechanistic studies indicate that a radical chain mechanism operates, which proceeds via a phosphoranyl radical generated from a radical/polar crossover process. Initiation of the radical chain was found to proceed via two opposing photocatalytic quenching mechanisms, offering complementary reactivity. The mild nature of the radical deoxygenation process enables the reduction of a wide range of functionalized sulfoxides, including those containing acid-sensitive groups, in typically high isolated yields.

Here we report a methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrA) homologue with extremely high substrate tolerance and a wide substrate scope for the biocatalytic preparation of enantiopure sulfoxides. This MsrA homologue which was obtained from Pseudomonas alcaliphila (named paMsrA) showed good activity and enantioselectivity towards a series of aryl methyl/ethyl sulfoxides 1a-1k, with electron-withdrawing or electron-donating substituents at the aromatic ring. Chiral sulfoxides in the R configuration were prepared with approximately 50% of yield and up to 99% enantiomeric excess through the asymmetric reductive resolution of racemic sulfoxide catalyzed by the recombinant paMsrA protein. More importantly, kinetic resolution has been successfully accomplished with high enantioselectivity (E > 200) at initial substrate concentrations up to 320 mM (approximately 45 g L-1), which represents a great improvement in the aspect of the substrate concentration for the biocatalytic preparation of chiral sulfoxides.

The (R)-sulfoxides were obtained with high enantioselectivity under the substrate concentration up to 200 mm (approximately 32 g L?1), representing a quite high substrate concentration in biocatalytic preparation of chiral sulfoxides. Moreover, this system showed fairly good activity and enantioselectivity towards a series of ortho- and para-substituted phenyl methyl sulfoxides under high substrate concentration.

- Kinetic resolution of phenyl methyl sulfoxides by mammalian methionine sulfoxide reductase A
-
Chiral sulfoxides are widely used in organic synthesis as chiral auxiliaries. There are numerous strategies for the preparation of enantiomerically pure sulfoxides, based either on the enantioselective oxidation of sulphides or the enantiospecific reduction of sulfoxides. For both cases, bioconversion techniques have been developed and proposed for large-scale synthesis. Methionine sulfoxide reductase enzymes (MsrA and MsrB) catalyse the stereoselective conversion of methionine sulfoxide to methionine. MsrA can also catalyse the reduction of other exogenous sulfoxides, including p-tolyl methyl sulfoxide. However, the stereoselectivity towards this type of substrate is not yet well characterized. The activity and enantioselectivity of MsrA toward several aryl methyl sulfoxides is presented in this paper.

- Platinum-supporting hollandite-type vanadium-chromium mixed oxides as efficient heterogeneous catalysts for deoxygenation of sulfoxides under atmospheric H2 pressure
-
Deoxygenation of sulfoxides to their corresponding sulfides is an important reaction, and the development of efficient heterogeneous catalysts that can utilize molecular hydrogen (H2) as a reducing agent is highly desired. In this study, we successfully developed a new concept in heterogeneous catalysts, platinum-supporting hollandite-type vanadium-chromium mixed oxide catalysts (Pt/V(1-x)Crx-Hol, x: Cr/(V + Cr) molar ratio of the precursor solution), for sulfoxide deoxygenation with H2. Hollandite-type vanadium-chromium mixed oxides (V(1-x)Crx-Hol) that did not support platinum could stoichiometrically deoxygenate methyl phenyl sulfoxide to methyl phenyl sulfide, and the V3+ species in V(1-x)Crx-Hol were oxidized to V4+ after deoxygenation. However, the V4+ species could not be re-reduced with H2. By supporting platinum nanoparticles on V(1-x)Crx-Hol, the re-reduction of the oxidized vanadium species with H2 became possible. Thus, in the presence of Pt/V(1-x)Crx-Hol, catalytic sulfoxide deoxygenation with H2 as the reducing agent can be realized; the deoxygenation occurs on V(1-x)Crx-Hol, and the role of platinum is to re-reduce the oxidized vanadium species with H2. In the presence of Pt/V0.7Cr0.3-Hol, various types of structurally diverse sulfoxides could be selectively converted into their corresponding sulfides under atmospheric H2 pressure (1 atm). In addition, the present system was applicable to the deoxygenation of pyridine N-oxides to their corresponding pyridines. The observed catalysis was truly heterogeneous, and the Pt/V0.7Cr0.3-Hol catalyst could be reused for sulfoxide deoxygenation, although the performance was reduced.

- Hydrodeoxygenation of sulfoxides to sulfides by a Pt and MoOx co-loaded TiO2 catalyst
-
Supported metal nanoparticle catalysts were studied for the hydrodeoxygenation of sulfoxides to sulfides under solvent-free and mild conditions (50-155 °C, 1 or 7 atm H2). The catalytic activity for the model reaction of diphenyl sulfoxide depended on the type of metals, support materials and co-loaded oxides of transition metals (V, Nb, Mo, W, Re). Pt and MoOx co-loaded TiO2 (Pt-MoOx/TiO2) showed the highest activity. Pt-MoOx/TiO2 was reusable after the reaction and was effective for the reduction of various sulfoxides and showed a higher turnover number (TON) than previously reported catalysts. Using Pt-MoOx/TiO2, benzylphenylsulfone was reduced by H2 to give phenylbenzyl sulfide via benzylphenyl sulfoxides, which represented the first example of catalytic conversion of a sulfone to a sulfide by H2. Characterization studies of Pt-MoOx/TiO2 show that the surface of TiO2 is covered by small (or thin layer) Mo oxide species with exposed Mo cations as Lewis acid sites, and 4-5 nm sized Pt metal nanoparticles are supported on the Mo oxide-covered TiO2.

- N-Imidazolylation of Sulfoximines from N-Cyano Sulfoximines, 1-Alkynes, and N-Sulfonyl Azides
-
The rhodium-catalyzed N-imidazolylation of N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles with a variety of N-cyano sulfoximines has been developed for the synthesis of N-imidazolyl sulfoximines via elimination of molecular nitrogen. Copper-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition followed by rhodium-catalyzed N-imidazolylation from 1-alkynes, N-sulfonyl azides, and N-cyano sulfoximines is also demonstrated for the synthesis of N-imidazolyl sulfoximines in a one-pot procedure.

- A facile and efficient procedure for the deoxygenation of sulfoxides to sulfides with the HfCl4/Zn system
-
Treatment of sulfoxides with the HfCl4/Zn system in acetonitrile at room temperature has been shown to provide the corresponding sulfides in high yields. This new methodology is highly chemoselective, tolerating several functional groups such as-Br,-Cl,-OCH3,-CHO and double bond.

- Copper-Catalyzed Intramolecular C-C Bond Cleavage to Construct 2-Substituted Quinazolinones
-
An efficient method for a copper-catalyzed intramolecular C-C bond cleavage to construct 2-substituted quinazolinones has been developed. The C-C bond at the 2-position of 2,2-disubstituted-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolinone was selectively cleaved by a Cu/air catalytic system. The trend for the cleavage was dependent on the leaving group in the order of: alkyl > methyl > phenyl > substituted aryl. The process described herein provides an explanation for the mechanism of the reaction between substituted 2-halobenzamides and α-substituted arylmethanamines to construct 2-substituted quinazolinones, which were previously reported and limited to the construction of 2-arylquinazolinones. The C-C bond at the 2-position of 2,2-disubstituted-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolinones was selectively cleaved by a Cu/air catalytic system to construct 2-substituted quinazolinones. The trend for the cleavage of the C-C bond was dependent on the leaving group in the order of: alkyl > methyl > phenyl > substituted aryl.

- Hydrogenation of sulfoxides to sulfides under mild conditions using ruthenium nanoparticle catalysts
-
The first demonstration of the hydrogenation of sulfoxides under atmospheric H2 pressure is reported. The highly efficient reaction is facilitated by a heterogeneous Ru nanoparticle catalyst. The mild reaction conditions enable the selective hydrogenation of a wide range of functionalized sulfoxides to the corresponding sulfides. The high redox ability of RuO x nanoparticles plays a key role in the hydrogenation.

- Sulfoxide-to-sulfilimine conversions: Use of modified Burgess-type reagents
-
Sulfoxides can directly be converted into N-cyanosulfilimines using a new Burgess-type reagent. By applying this strategy with a related reagent variant, synthetically valuable NH-sulfoximines have been prepared from sulfoxides via N-protected sulfilimines. The practical three-step reaction sequence is generally high yielding and applicable to a wide range of substrates. The sulfoxide-to-sulfilimine conversion can also be performed under solvent-reduced conditions in a ball mill. Copyright

- Amino acid intercalated layered double hydroxide catalyzed chemoselective methylation of phenols and thiophenols with dimethyl carbonate
-
Sixteen different amino acids are intercalated into Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) by the reconstruction method and are characterized by powder XRD and FT-IR. The intercalated amino acid-LDHs (AA-LDHs) are used as catalysts for chemoselective O-methylation of phenol and S-methylation of thiophenol with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) as a green methylating agent. The intercalation behavior of various amino acids is influenced by various structural features of amino acids, namely, carbon chain length, structure, and physicochemical properties. In particular, amino acids possessing a hydrophobic side-chain show higher catalytic activity. A suitable reaction mechanism is proposed. The catalyst can also be recycled.

- Enantioselective nitrene transfer to sulfides catalyzed by a chiral iron complex
-
Iron works: Enantioselective nitrene transfer to sulfide was accomplished by a chiral iron(III)/PyBOX catalyst (see scheme). Various sulfimides were thus obtained in high enantioselectivities and yields. Applications of this protocol to the syntheses of enantioenriched sulfoximines and an epoxide were also demonstrated.

- Investigation of the scope and mechanism of copper catalyzed regioselective methylthiolation of aryl halides Dedicated to Professor Dr. Irina Beletskaya
-
Methylthiolation of structurally diverse aryl halides was accomplished under fluoride free conditions using catalytic amounts of CuI, and DMSO as the methylthiolation source. Optimization studies unveiled several varieties of promoters among which Zn(OAc)2 was found ideal. The analogous reaction with DMSO-d6 afforded corresponding deuterated aryl methyl thioether with 99% purity. Mechanistic studies revealed CuSMe as the active methylthiolation agent.

- An unprecedented use for glycerol: Chemoselective reducing agent for sulfoxides
-
A new application for glycerol that expands its possibilities beyond a green solvent and a precursor of value-added products has been demonstrated. Simple, easily available, and environmentally friendly dioxomolybdenum(vi) complexes are highly efficient catalysts for the chemoselective sulfoxide deoxygenation with this biomass-derived chemical feedstock. Both refined glycerol and crude glycerin can be used, thus expanding the potential application of this reaction. Subsequent transformation of glycerol during this reductive process has also been investigated.
