Sulfuryl chloride oxidant

A number of halogen compounds are capable of oxidizing sulfoxides to sulfones, although synthetically useful procedures are rather limited. Chlorine and sulfuryl chloride oxidize sulfoxides to sulfones in aqueous solvents, but the oxidation is often accompanied by many side reactions as shown in equations... 

Using sulfuryl chloride, oxidative chlorination of 3,5-diphenyl-4//-l,2,4,6-thiatriazine gives 1-chlorothiatriazine 4.47 The same procedure gives 4 in 8% yield by reaction of sulfuryl chloride with the dimer bis(3,5-diphenyl-l,2,4,6-thiatriazinyl)48... 

Chloroacetyl chloride is manufactured by reaction of chloroacetic acid with chlorinating agents such as phosphoms oxychloride, phosphoms trichloride, sulfuryl chloride, or phosgene (42—44). Various catalysts have been used to promote the reaction. Chloroacetyl chloride is also produced by chlorination of acetyl chloride (45—47), the oxidation of 1,1-dichloroethene (48,49), and the addition of chlorine to ketene (50,51). Dichloroacetyl and trichloroacetyl chloride are produced by oxidation of trichloroethylene or tetrachloroethylene, respectively. 

Oxidation. The synthesis of quinolinic acid and its subsequent decarboxylation to nicotinic acid [59-67-6] (7) has been accompHshed direcdy in 79% yield using a nitric—sulfuric acid mixture above 220°C (25). A wide variety of oxidants have been used in the preparation of quinoline N-oxide. This substrate has proved to be useful in the preparation of 2-chloroquinoline [612-62-4] and 4-chloroquinoline [611 -35-8] using sulfuryl chloride (26). The oxidized nitrogen is readily reduced with DMSO (27) (see Amine oxides). 

Oxidation of sulfur dioxide in aqueous solution, as in clouds, can be catalyzed synergistically by iron and manganese (225). Ammonia can be used to scmb sulfur dioxide from gas streams in the presence of air. The product is largely ammonium sulfate formed by oxidation in the absence of any catalyst (226). The oxidation of SO2 catalyzed by nitrogen oxides was important in the eady processes for manufacture of sulfuric acid (qv). Sulfur dioxide reacts with chlorine or bromine forming sulfuryl chloride or bromide [507-16 ]. 

Benzimidazole 3-oxides, e.g. (189), react with phosphorus oxychloride or sulfuryl chloride to form the corresponding 2-chlorobenzimidazoles. The reaction sequence involves first formation of a nucleophilic complex (190), then attack of chloride ions on the complex, followed by rearomatization involving loss of the fV-oxide oxygen (191 -> 192). 

H2S, SO2, H2SO3, H2SO4 and the polythionic acids H2SxOe. Oxidation of SCI2 yields thionyl chloride (OSCI2) and sulfuryl chloride (O2SCI2) (see Section 15.2.4). Reaction with F2 produces SF4 and SFe (p. 686), whereas fluorination with NaF is accompanied by some disproportionation ... 

The heterocyclic telluride 32 is susceptible to oxidation-addition reactions and readily adds halogen atoms under a treatment with halogens or sulfuryl chloride (93MI1). Compounds 34 were obtained in almost quantitative yields. 

In the first of these, the key step in the synthetic sequence involves an oxidative phenol coupling reaction patterned after the biosynthesis of the natural product. Preparation of the moiety that is to become the aromatic ring starts by methyla-tion of phloroglucinol (5) with methanolic hydrogen chloride to give the dimethyl ether (6). Treatment of that intermediate with sulfuryl chloride introduces the chlorine atom needed in the final product (7). 

Dihydro-l-benzothiepin 1-oxide (21) is obtained in 77% yield when 19 is treated with sodium periodate in glacial acetic acid at 0 °C, while a second method ultilizing sulfuryl chloride at — 70°C gives the dichlorosulfurane intermediate 20 and ultimately the sulfoxide 21 in 79% yield.86... 

Aziridine-2-carboxylates 12 (Scheme 3.4) have also been prepared from 3-hy-droxy-a-amino esters 9 by treatment with sulfuryl chloride in place of tosyl or mesyl chloride. Treatment of 9 with thionyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine, followed by oxidation of 10 with sodium periodate and a catalytic amount of...

Diphenyl diselenide has been prepared by disproportionation of phenyl selenocyanate in the presence of potassium hydroxide" or ammonia/ and by air oxidation of benzeneselenol. The preparation of benzeneselenol is described in an earlier volume in this series/ In the present procedure phenylselenomagnesium bromide formed from phenylmagnesium bromide and selenium is oxidized directly to diphenyl diselenide with bromine/ Thus the liberation of the malodorous and toxic hydrogen selenide and benzeneselenol is avoided. Benzeneselenenyl chloride has been prepared by thermal elimination of ethyl chloride from ethyl phenyl selenide di-chloride/ by thermal elimination of chlorine from phenylselenium trichloride," and by chlorinolysis of diphenyl diselenide with either sulfuryl chloride " or chlorine. " ... 

As underlined above, formation of these compounds by halogenation of dialkyl esters of 1,2-alkadienephosphonic acids is the major direction of the reaction. Even in the case of dialkyl esters of propadienephosphonic acid, some 1,2-oxaphosphole derivatives could be detected [86], On using sulfuryl chloride as electrophilic reagent, only 3,3-disubstituted- and 3-monosubstituted substrates could be transformed in oxaphosphole derivatives [39], Thus, the main role of the substituent at the C3 atom of the allenephosphonate system, for the formation of 2,5-dihydro-l,2-oxa-phosphole-2-oxide derivatives, was demonstrated. 

Similar compounds were prepared by the same method, from the reaction of sulfuryl chloride and dichlorides of 1,2-alkadienephosphonic acids. It is noteworthy to emphasize that, in this case, 2,5-dihydro-l,2-oxaphosphole-2-oxide derivatives were isolated, even when 3-monosubstituted allenephosphonate were used as substrates (Scheme 32) [39, 85],... 

Azatriquinane 37 when treated with H202 generated the /V-oxidc 196 which on treatment with /-BuLi afforded the oxidative dimer 197. Irradiation of a solution of 37 in sulfuryl chloride gave the chlorinated azatriquinacene 198 in excellent yield (Scheme 28) <1998JOC6016>. 

Chlorine is a strong oxidizing agent that converts S02 into sulfuryl chloride, S02C12. In the reaction, sulfur is oxidized as chlorine is added, so the process is an oxad reaction.
