A novel approach to produce diaryl sulfoxides from aryl benzyl sulfoxides is reported. Optimization of the reaction conditions was performed using high-throughput experimentation techniques. The [Pd(dba)2 ]/NiXantPhos catalyst system successfully promotes a triple relay process involving sulfoxide α-arylation, CS bond cleavage, and CS bond formation. The byproduct benzophenone is formed by an additional palladium-catalyzed process. It is noteworthy that palladium-catalyzed benzylative CS bond cleavage of sulfoxides is unprecedented. A wide range of aryl benzyl sulfoxides, as well as alkyl benzyl sulfoxides with various (hetero)aryl bromides were employed in the triple relay process in good to excellent yields (85-99 %). Moreover, aryl methyl sulfoxides, dibenzyl sulfoxides, and dimethylsulfoxide could be utilized to generate diaryl sulfoxides involving multiple catalytic cycles by a single catalyst.

In this study, four novels 2,5,6-trisubstituted imidazothiadiazole derivative ligands and their Ag(I) complexes were synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic analysis techniques. First, imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivative (3) was obtained from the reaction of 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol with benzyl bromide in the presence of KOH in an ethanolic medium. In the next step, the resultant compound reacted sequentially with four substituted phenacyl bromide derivatives (4a-4d) under refluxed ethanol for 24 h to obtain substituted 2-(benzylthio)-6-phenylimidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives (5-8).

Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are naturally occurring sulfur-containing compounds with diverse biological effects. This study investigated the effects of sulforaphane (SFN, an aliphatic ITC) and benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC, an aromatic ITC) on human acute myeloid leukemia SKM-1 cells, focusing on cell proliferation, cell death, and drug resistance. Both drug-sensitive SKM-1 cells and their drug-resistant SKM/VCR variant, which overexpresses the drug transporter P-glycoprotein, were used.

Our enantioselective oxidation protocol, based upon hydroperoxides in the presence of a titanium/(,)-hydrobenzoin catalyst, was tested for the first time with aryl benzyl sulfides containing heterocyclic moieties (2-thienyl, 2-pyridyl and benzimidazolyl), two of them being connected with the blockbuster omeprazole drug. Good yields of enantiopure sulfoxides were obtained in most cases. Two exceptions of unsatisfactory enantioselectivity in the oxidation of benzimidazolyl sulfides are reported.

Optical clearing of invertebrates, the number of species of which is 20 times greater than that of vertebrates, is of fundamental and applied interest for neuroscience in general. Herein, the optical clearing of invertebrates to identify their morphology and neurostructure remains unrealized as of yet. Here, we report on fast (from a few seconds to minutes) and uniform whole-body optical clearing of invertebrates (bivalves, nemertines, annelids, and anomura) of any age and thickness (up to 2 cm) possessing complicated structures and integuments.
