Oxidations sulfoxide synthesis

For less reactive thiazines sodium periodate or 3-chloroperbenzoic acid are suitable reagents for sulfoxide synthesis but it is not always possible to prevent over-oxidation and the formation of the corresponding sulfone (75JCS(P1)716>. Carbonyl substituents at C-6...

A platform had been created from which it was felt that the enantioselective sulfoxide synthesis could be developed into a process that would match logistical as well as quality requirements. However, it is important to stress that other variations of the titanium-catalyzed approach had been concomitantly identified but the decision was taken to focus solely on the present option. One of the most important and challenging aspects in this regard was to demonstrate how the oxidation step could be fitted into the existing manufacture of the prochiral sulfide (pyrmetazole) and, if not, what changes or modifications would be needed. This... 

An important group of alkene-forming reactions, some of which are useful in synthesis, are pyrolytic eliminations. Included in this group are the pyrolyses of carboxylic esters and xanthates, of amine oxides, sulfoxides and selenoxides. These reactions take place in a concerted manner, by way of a cyclic transition state and therefore proceed with syn stereochemistry, such that the hydrogen atom and the leaving group depart from the same side of the incipient double bond (in contrast to the eliminations discussed in Section 2.1) (2.14). 

The simplest procedure for sulfoxide synthesis is thioether oxidation by H2O2, and acids are efficient catalysts for this reaction. In the presence of protons H202is a potential intermediate in Au(I) reoxidation by 02,eq 28 ... 

Clearly, for symmetry reasons, the reverse process should also be considered. In fact, early versions of our reaction prediction and synthesis design system EROS [21] contained the reaction schemes of Figures 3-13, 3-15, and 3-16 and the reverse of the scheme shown in Figure 3-16. These four reaction schemes and their combined application include the majority of reactions observed in organic chemistry. Figure 3-17 shows a consecutive application of the reaction schemes of Figures 3-16 and 3-13 to model the oxidation of thioethers to sulfoxides. 

An asymmetric synthesis of estrone begins with an asymmetric Michael addition of lithium enolate (178) to the scalemic sulfoxide (179). Direct treatment of the cmde Michael adduct with y /i7-chloroperbenzoic acid to oxidize the sulfoxide to a sulfone, followed by reductive removal of the bromine affords (180, X = a and PH R = H) in over 90% yield. Similarly to the conversion of (175) to (176), base-catalyzed epimerization of (180) produces an 85% isolated yield of (181, X = /5H R = H). C8 and C14 of (181) have the same relative and absolute stereochemistry as that of the naturally occurring steroids. Methylation of (181) provides (182). A (CH2)2CuLi-induced reductive cleavage of sulfone (182) followed by stereoselective alkylation of the resultant enolate with an allyl bromide yields (183). Ozonolysis of (183) produces (184) (wherein the aldehydric oxygen is by isopropyUdene) in 68% yield. Compound (184) is the optically active form of Ziegler s intermediate (176), and is converted to (+)-estrone in 6.3% overall yield and >95% enantiomeric excess (200). 

Oxidation of thiophene with peracid under carefully controlled conditions gives a mixture of thiophene sulfoxide and 2-hydroxythiophene sulfoxide. These compounds are trapped by addition to benzoquinone to give ultimately naphthoquinone (225) and its 5-hydroxy derivative (226) (76ACS(B)353). The further oxidation of the sulfoxide yields the sulfone, which may function as a diene or dienophile in the Diels-Alder reaction (Scheme 88). An azulene synthesis involves the addition of 6-(A,A-dimethylamino)fulvene (227) to a thiophene sulfone (77TL639, 77JA4199).

Notable examples of general synthetic procedures in Volume 47 include the synthesis of aromatic aldehydes (from dichloro-methyl methyl ether), aliphatic aldehydes (from alkyl halides and trimethylamine oxide and by oxidation of alcohols using dimethyl sulfoxide, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and pyridinum trifluoro-acetate the latter method is particularly useful since the conditions are so mild), carbethoxycycloalkanones (from sodium hydride, diethyl carbonate, and the cycloalkanone), m-dialkylbenzenes (from the />-isomer by isomerization with hydrogen fluoride and boron trifluoride), and the deamination of amines (by conversion to the nitrosoamide and thermolysis to the ester). Other general methods are represented by the synthesis of 1 J-difluoroolefins (from sodium chlorodifluoroacetate, triphenyl phosphine, and an aldehyde or ketone), the nitration of aromatic rings (with ni-tronium tetrafluoroborate), the reductive methylation of aromatic nitro compounds (with formaldehyde and hydrogen), the synthesis of dialkyl ketones (from carboxylic acids and iron powder), and the preparation of 1-substituted cyclopropanols (from the condensation of a 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol derivative and ethyl-... 

The resulting sulfoxides 17 can be further oxidized by a second equivalent of 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid to afford the sulfones 18, also in good yields.14 In general, however, the direct synthesis of the sulfones with two equivalents of 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid affords better yields.
