Although numerous transition-metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkenyl electrophiles with a sulfur(VI) leaving group, mainly alkenyl sulfones, have been developed, most rely heavily on highly nucleophilic Grignard reagents, and the use of organoboron reagents remains challenging. We report herein facile preparation and the following Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of alkenyl sulfoximine, a monoaza analog of sulfone. The condensation of alkyl sulfoximine with aldehydes, developed in this study, makes alkenyl sulfoximines more readily available.

Precise control of selective alkene functionalization is a continuing challenge in the chemical community. In this study, we develop a substitution-controlled regiodivergent thioetherification of di- or trisubstituted alkenes using 10 mol % tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane [B(CF)] as a catalyst and N-thiosuccinimide as a sulfenylating reagent. This metal-free borane catalyzed C-S bond forming method is utilized for a Csp-H sulfenylation reaction to synthesize an array of diphenylvinylsulfide derivatives with good to excellent yields (25 examples, up to 91 % yield).

Article Synopsis
  • Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are important factors in neurodegenerative diseases, with glutathione (GSH) being a crucial antioxidant in the brain.
  • A study explored the role of L-cysteine (L-Cys) in protecting mouse hippocampal neuronal cells from damage and apoptosis caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by a specific compound (DMNQ).
  • L-Cys showed the ability to prevent oxidative damage and improve cognitive function in mice, indicating its potential as a neuroprotective agent, despite not directly boosting GSH levels in the presence of another GSH synthesis inhibitor (BSO).

Strategies for oxidative synthesis of -triflyl sulfoximines.

The oxidation of various structurally different -trifluoromethylthio sulfoximines was investigated using different oxidizing agents and conditions. Mono- and disubstituted phenyl methyl and phenyl cyclopropyl -trifluoromethylthio sulfoximines were oxidized with NaOCl·5HO in water, while sterically hindered substrates bearing bulkier alkyl chains or two phenyl rings required the addition of MeCN to the reaction mixture. Chloro-, bromo-, and cyano-substituted substrates, as well as substrates bearing the benzyl groups, required a completely different approach using -CPBA in DCM.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which leads to demyelination, axonal loss, and neurodegeneration. Increased oxidative stress and neurodegeneration have been implicated in all stages of MS, making neuroprotective therapeutics a promising strategy for its treatment. We previously have reported vinyl sulfones with antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties that activate nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor that induces the expression of cytoprotective genes against oxidative stress.
