Synthesis of Diverse o-Arylthio-Substituted Diaryl Ethers by Direct Oxythiolation of Arynes with Diaryl Sulfoxides Involving Migratory O-Arylation

A diverse range of o-arylthio-substituted diaryl ethers has been synthesized by direct oxythiolation of arynes with diaryl sulfoxides that involves the formation of the C-O and C-S bonds followed by migratory O-arylation.

Preparation of optically active ortho-chloro- and ortho-bromophenyl sulfoxides

The preparation of the diastereomerically pure menthyl (S)-2-chloro- and (S)-2-bromophenyl sulfinates by esterification of the corresponding sulfinic acids with (1R,2S,5R)-(-)-menthol and recrystallization/epimerization is reported. The two sulfinates have been converted into enantiomerically pure aryl, vinyl and alkyl sulfoxides by reaction with organomagnesium reagents. These sulfoxides are useful chiral auxiliaries to control the stereochemical outcome of radical reactions.
