Usage

General Description

2,4-dichloro-1-(methylsulfinyl)benzene is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H6Cl2OS. It is also known by its common trade name, sulcotrione. 2,4-dichloro-1-(methylsulfinyl)benzene is a selective herbicide used to control broadleaf and grassy weeds in corn. It inhibits the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), which is essential for the synthesis of carotenoids in plants. Without carotenoids, plants are unable to protect themselves from the effects of sunlight and eventually die. 2,4-dichloro-1-(methylsulfinyl)benzene has low toxicity to humans and animals, and it breaks down relatively quickly in the environment, making it a popular choice for weed control in agriculture.

Integrating hydrogen production with anodic selective oxidation of sulfides over a CoFe layered double hydroxide electrode

Replacing the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with oxidation reactions for the synthesis of complex pharmaceutical molecules coupled with enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is highly attractive, but it is rarely explored. Here, we report an electrochemical protocol for selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides over a CoFe layered double hydroxide (CoFe-LDH) anode in an aqueous-MeCN electrolyte, coupled with 2-fold promoted cathodic H2productivity. This protocol displays high activity (85-96% yields), catalyst stability (10 cycles), and generality (12 examples) in selective sulfide oxidation. We demonstrate its applicability in the synthesis of four important pharmaceutical related sulfoxide compounds with scalability (up to 1.79 g). X-ray spectroscopy investigations reveal that the CoFe-LDH material evolved into amorphous CoFe-oxyhydroxide under catalytic conditions. This work may pave the way towards sustainable organic synthesis of valuable pharmaceuticals coupled with H2production.
