The direct α-sulfidation of tertiary amides using sulfoxide reagents under electrophilic amide activation conditions is described. Employing readily available reagents, selective functionalization takes place to generate isolable sulfonium ions en route to α-sulfide amides. Mechanistic studies support the critical role of activated sulfoxides that promote the desired transformation. For benzylic amide substrates, a single-step protocol featuring a spontaneous dealkylation step of a sulfonium ion intermediate was developed.

Coenzyme F430 is a nickel porphinoid found in all methanogenic bacteria. Extended-X-ray-absorption-fine-structure (e.x.a.f.s.) spectra have been recorded above the nickel K-edge of coenzyme F430 and two model compounds, (5,10,15,20-tetramethylporphinato) nickel(II) and (5,10,15,20-tetramethylchlorinato)-nickel(II). The results show that the four nickel-nitrogen distances in F430 are split, with two nitrogen atoms at 0.192 nm and two at 0.210 nm.
