Synthesis of sulfoxides


Recent Literature


A palladium-catalyzed arylation of sulfenate anions generated from β-sulfinyl esters takes place under basic biphasic conditions. This reaction provides a simple, mild, and efficient route to aryl sulfoxides in good yields.

Tetraphosphine cis,cis,cis-1,2,3,4-tetrakis[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]cyclopentane (Tedicyp) is an efficient ligand for the Heck reaction of sulfur-containing alkenes with aryl bromides. The rates and yields of the reactions strongly depend on the oxidation state of the sulfur atom.
