We report the first example of the highly enantioselective synthesis of structurally diverse chiral dithioketals via asymmetric sulfenylation of various types of S-based nucleophiles, catalyzed by a cheap cinchona alkaloid derivative, dihydroquinine.

Inherently chiral calixarenes hold great potential for applications in chiral recognition, sensing, and asymmetric catalysis due to their unique structures. However, due to their special structures and relatively large sizes, the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of inherently chiral calixarenes is challenging with very limited examples available. Here, we present an efficient method for the enantioselective synthesis of inherently chiral sulfur-containing calix[4]arenes through the desymmetrizing electrophilic sulfenylation of calix[4]arenes.

Thiosilvatins are a family of biologically active sulfenylated diketopiperazine natural products. The first members were reported over 40 years ago, but total synthesis of a thiosilvatin has remained elusive. Here, we describe the first, collective, synthesis of the parent epidithiodiketopiperazine (-)-dithiosilvatin and ten related thiosilvatins.

Current methods for the asymmetric α-sulfenylation of carbonyls cannot be applied to acyclic carbonyls that have two similar substituents at the α-position. This research demonstrated that the electrophilic sulfenylation of geometry-defined acyclic β,β-disubstituted enesulfinamides using -aryl or -alkyl benzenethiosulfonates can be highly stereoselective. This process results in enantioenriched α,α-disubstituted α-sulfenylated ketone surrogates with sulfur-containing acyclic tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenters bearing two electronically and sterically similar substituents (e.

In the field of catalytic asymmetric synthesis, the less-treated path lies in oxidative catalytic asymmetric transformations. The hurdles of pinpointing the appropriate chemical oxidants and addressing their compatibility issues with catalysts and functionalities present significant challenges. Organic electrochemistry, employing traceless electrons for redox reactions, is underscored as a promising solution.

An efficient catalytic asymmetric electrophilic sulfenylation reaction for the synthesis of planar-chiral sulfur-containing cyclophanes has been developed for the first time. This was achieved by using a new Lewis base catalyst and a new ortho-trifluoromethyl-substituted sulfenylating reagent. Using the substrates with low rotational energy barrier, the transformation proceeded through a dynamic kinetic resolution, and the high rotational energy barrier of the substrates allowed the reaction to undergo a kinetic resolution process.
