An efficient selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides has been developed by means of AlCl3-promoted oxygen transfer from phenyliodine diacetate [PhI(OAc)2]. AlCl3 proved to be the optimal ­Lewis acid for the activation of PhI(OAc)2. Various substituted sulfides were selectively transformed into the corresponding sulfoxides in good to excellent yields (≤99%). The high efficiency, excellent functional-group compatibility, broad substrate scope, and mild conditions render the current transformation useful for the synthesis of sulfoxides.

AbstractAlkynes are amongst the most valuable functional groups in organic chemistry and widely used in chemical biology, pharmacy, and materials science. However, the preparation of alkyl-substituted alkynes still remains elusive. Here, we show a nickel-catalyzed deaminative Sonogashira coupling of alkylpyridinium salts. Key to the success of this coupling is the development of an easily accessible and bench-stable amide-type pincer ligand. This ligand allows naturally abundant alkyl amines as alkylating agents in Sonogashira reactions, and produces diverse alkynes in excellent yields under mild conditions. Salient merits of this chemistry include broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance, gram-scale synthesis, one-pot transformation, versatile late-stage derivatizations as well as the use of inexpensive pre-catalyst and readily available substrates. The high efficiency and strong practicability bode well for the widespread applications of this strategy in constructing functional molecules, materials, and fine chemicals.

A sequential multistep reaction toward 5-thio- or 5-selenotriazoles has been established by generation of both copper(I) triazolides and sulfenylating or selenylating agents in situ, starting from elemental sulfur or selenium. This reaction features mild conditions, readily available and broad-scope substrates, good functional group compatibility, high efficiency and regioselectivity, easy operation, and ligand-free CuI.

: Compounds containing 4H-1,3-benzo-xazine core usually possess characteristic features and have been applied in the fields of organic synthesis, pharmaceutical research, materials science and bioscience. Here we reported convenient and direct access to 4H-1,3- benzo-xazines and their derivatives through intramolecular cyclization of olefinic amides or ureas with good to excellent yields in the presence of TMSOTf. The properties (mild conditions, metal or additives-free, wide substrate scope and functional group tolerance) of the process made it a promising strategy to synthesize various benzo-xazines and their derivatives.

3-Carboxypyridinium chlorochromate (CPCC) in the presence of aluminium chloride is a very efficient reagent for the selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxide and sulfones in solution and under microwave irradiation. It is noteworthy that different functional groups including carbon–carbon double bonds, ketones, oximes, aldehydes, ethers, and acetals were tolerated under these reaction conditions.Key words: sulfoxides, sulfones, oxidation, chlorochromate, Lewis acid.

A novel SO2F2-promoted thiocyanation method for the one-step synthesis of thiocyanates through C–O bond cleavage of readily available alcohols with ammonium thiocyanate as the thiocyanating agent was developed. The method avoids the use of additional catalyst, and a variety of (hetero)arene, alkene and aliphatic alcohols reacted with high efficiency in ethyl acetate under mild conditions to afford the corresponding thiocyanates in excellent to quantitative yields with broad functional-group compatibility.
