Vinyl sulphides oxidation

The second competing fragmentation reaction can be avoided by using a vinyl sulphide substrate 34. Vinyl sulphides have a lower oxidation potential compared... 

The reaction of sulphides with (dichloroiodo)benzene can lead to several kinds of products depending on the substrate and the reaction conditions [19]. Sulphides of great structural diversity (aliphatic, aromatic, heterocyclic) were oxidized efficiently by (dichloroiodo)benzene (one equivalent) in aqueous pyridine. The reaction was almost instantaneous and not noticeably sensitive to steric or electronic effects. Ethylenic double bonds were not attacked under these conditions however, in vinylic sulphides containing an electron-withdrawing group (COOH or RSO) ft- to the sulphur atom the oxidation was accompanied by nucleophilic attack to the double bond resulting in a mixture of products. The method is suitable for the preparation of I80-labelled sulphoxides using small quantities of H2,80. 

Photo-oxidation of olefins in pyridine solution in the presence of FeCIs has been found to take one of three courses, depending on the substitution pattern of the substrate olefin. These routes lead to formation of a-chloroketones, gem-dichloroketones, and a,-dichloroketones, and have all been illustrated by their use in actual syntheses. a-Chloroketones have also been produced by irradiation of pyridine solutions of vinylsUanes or vinyl sulphides under similar conditions. DCA-sensitized photo-oxidation of l,2-diphenyl-3,3,4,4-tetramethylcyclobutene in MeCN leads to the corresponding ozonide in a process which occurs by initial formation of an oxirane.

Recognition of the role of sulphoxides in the inhibition chain has resulted in several studies of the autoxidation of mono- and disulphides (see later). In addition to the work by Hargrave [84], Bateman et al. [88— 90] have studied the oxidation of monosulphides, unsaturated monosulphides and cyclo-hex-2-enyl methyl sulphide. Allylic and vinylic sulphides were found to be much more reactive than saturated sulphides, although the methylene group, rather than the allylic double bond, was suggested to be the primary reaction centre. Reactivities were compared for the percentage yield of sulphoxide (A) and for the yield of hydroperoxide (B), viz. 

Alkylation and other electrophilic reactions of vinyl sulphides and selenides following of-metallation include a number of useful synthetic procedures. Addition of an alkyl-lithium to phenyl vinyl selenide gives the cc-lithio- -alkylated selenide, which, on further alkylation and oxidative deselenation, gives the 1,2-disubstituted ethylene (H2C=CHSePh - R CHjCHLiSePh - R CH2CHR SePh - R CH=CHR ), thus permitting the vinyl selenide to be...

A convenient route to both saturated and unsaturated acylsilanes lies in the hydroboration-oxidation of alkynylsilanes (Chapter 7). Recent improvements (6) to this method involve the use of the borane-dimethyl sulphide complex for hydroboration, and of anhydrous trimethylamine A-oxide for the oxidation of the intermediate vinyl boranes.

Diaryl amines, ethers or sulphides, or their aryl vinyl analogues, provide another 6-electron system related to stilbene, but for these a pair of electrons is provided by the single heteroatom (ArXAr or ArXC=C). With dtaryl compounds the initial photocydized product is a zwitterion that undergoes a proton shift to give, for example, N-methyl-4a,4b-dihydrocarbazole from methyldiphenylamine, with subsequent oxidation to N-methylcarbazole (3.74). With the aryl vinyl analogues the product after the proton shift can normally be isolated (3.751. An especially useful variation of this reaction employs... 

Benzyl phenyl sulphide, norbornene, cw-cyclooctene, and 4-vinyl-1-cyclohexene were obtained from Aldrich and (IS)-(-)-a-pinene from Fluka. Phenyl sulphide was prepared from benzene and sulphur chloride following the literature procedure[9]. Reference samples of sulphoxides and sulphones were prepared by oxidation of sulphides with sodium periodate[10] and hydrogen peroxide[ll] respectively. Reference samples of epoxides were made by following Kaneda et al.[ 2 procedure. Metal phthalocyanines[13] were prepared from appropriate metal salt, 1,2-dicyanobenzene with ammonium molybdate as catalyst and were characterized by elemental analysis.
