Sulphoxides rearrangement

The allyl sulphenate-allyl sulphoxide rearrangement is a general reaction and is applicable to structurally diverse allyl alcohols204,205 (Table 13). Mechanistically, it represents a typical example of a [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement as shown by the detailed investigations of Mislow and Braverman and their coworkers.

A detailed study of the mechanism of the allyl sulphoxide-sulphenate rearrangement and its uses in synthesis has been reported. Rates of steroidal allyl sulphoxide rearrangements are influenced by chirality at sulphur, and configurational aspects established for compounds of this... 

It was proposed that an initially formed S-nitrosulphonium ion 33 rearranges into the S-nitritosulphonium ion 34, which is then stabilized by loss of NO+ ion to give the corresponding sulphoxide (equation 13). 

The spontaneous rearrangement of allyl p-toluenesulphenates to allyl sulphoxides was independently recorded by Mislow and coworkers and Braverman and Stabinsky. Mislow and colleagues201 have demonstrated that simple allyl alcohols such as 149, on conversion to the corresponding lithium alkoxides followed by treatment with arenesulphenyl chlorides, may be smoothly transformed at room temperature via the sulphenate esters into allylic sulphoxides 150 (equation 83). Braverman and Stabinsky202 have found that when the more reactive trichloromethanesulphenyl chloride is treated with allyl alcohol and pyridine in ether at — 70°, it affords trichloromethyl allyl sulphoxide and not allyl trichloromethanesulphenate as reported by Sosnovski203 (equation 84). 

Braverman and Grendi206 have shown that, depending on the type of substitution, allylic trichloromethanesulphenates undergo rearrangement to allylic trichloromethyl sulphoxides by one of two different pathways (equation 85). Rearrangement according to route a has been observed with allyl, crotyl and a, a-dimethylallyl sulphenates. It occurs... 

Reaction of alkynols 156 with benzenesulphenyl chloride afforded either the vinylacety-lene sulphoxides 157 or the allene sulphoxides 158 depending upon the substitution pattern of alkynols 156. Vinylacetylene sulphoxides 157 result from a [2,3]-allylic rearrangement of the sulphenate ester 159 (equation 88). In the case of the cyclic... 

Treatment of (—)-(S)-276 with allyl Grignard reagents gives optically active allylic sulphoxides 288. This reaction, however, involves an allylic rearrangement via transition state 289 as evidenced by Mislow and his collaborators362 (equation 160). 

The reaction of the phenylsulphinyl allylic lithium a-carbanion 342 with oxiranes was found by Guittet and Julia to give, after rearrangement and desulphurization, dihydroxy-dienes 343427 (equation 197). Demoute and coworkers have described the alkylation reaction of a very sophisticated 2-alkenyl sulphoxide 344 as a part of the total synthesis of a juvenile hormone 345428 (equation 198). Since the allylic sulphoxide carbanion has an ambident character, the alkylation may occur sometimes also at the y-position. This direction of alkylation is observed in the case of acyclic allylic sulphoxide anions 346, and results in the formation of the corresponding allylic sulphoxide 347 and vinylic sulphoxide 348423 (equation 199).
