Computational Investigation of Vicinal Disulfoxides and Other Sulfinyl Radical Dimers

چکیده
The structure and energetics of the simplest Vic-disulfoxide CH3S(O)S(O)CH3 and its key isomers are reported. Computational methods include a CASSCF[2,2] treatment with a large basis set on sulfur and oxygen, followed by multireference MP2 refinement, and also the hybrid density functional B3LYP. Calculations at the G3 level were also carried out. In contrast to previous reports, a weak bond does exist for both Vic-disulfoxide diastereomers. A bond enthalpy near 20 kcal mol-1 is reported. The isomeric sulfenylsulfinate is slightly lower in energy than the Vic-disulfoxide. The B3LYP structure obtained for 5,5-di-t-butyltetrathiolane-2,3dioxide reproduces the essential structural parameters of the one experimentally known Vic-disulfinyl compound, 5-(1-adamantyl)-5-tert-butyltetrathiolane-2,3-dioxide.

Synthesis of enantiomerically pure Tröger's base derivatives via chiral disulfoxides.
The preparation, full characterization and determination of the absolute configuration of diastereomerically pure disulfoxide derivatives of Tröger's base are described. A sulfinyl-lithium exchange followed by the reaction with electrophiles affords synthetically meaningful amounts of enantiomerically pure 4,10-disubstituted Tröger's base analogues without any erosion of the stereogenic informa...
متن کاملDFT Application to the Analysis of Quadrupole Coupling Constant of Aluminum Methyl Chloride Dimers
The analysis of the 27Al and 35Cl quadrupole coupling parameters of aluminum methyl chloride dimers were carried out on the basis of the density functional theory (DFT). The available experimental values of quarupole coupling constants were compared with their calculated ones. In this investigation, the correlations were made between calculated 27Al and 35Cl nuclear quadrupole coupling constant...
متن کاملComputational study of the intramolecular proton transfer between 6-hydroxypicolinic acid tautomeric forms and intermolecular hydrogen bonding in their dimers
This paper is a density functional theory (DFT) calculation of intramolecular proton transfer (IPT) in 6-hydroxypicolinic acid (6HPA, 6-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid) tautomeric forms. The transition state for the enol-to-keto transition is reported in the gas phase and in four different solvents. The planar and non-planar dimer forms of 6HPA keto and enol, respectively, were also studied i...
متن کاملHighly diastereoselective ionic/radical domino reactions: single electron transfer induced cyclization of bis-sulfoxides.
SET oxidation of bis-sulfinyl anions has enabled the uses of bis-sulfinyl radical as a synthetic equivalent of chiral acyl and methylene radicals involved in tandem reactions leading to the enantioselective construction of various carbo- and heterocyclic derivatives.
متن کاملIntra-molecular reactions as a new approach to investigate bio-radical reactivity: a case study of cysteine sulfinyl radicals.
Herein, we demonstrated the use of gas-phase intra-molecular reactions facilitated by collisional activation to investigate bi-molecular reactions with inherent low reactivity. Reactions between sulfinyl radicals (-SO˙) toward free thiol (-SH) were employed as a model system. A new reaction channel, i.e. sulfinyl exchange with thiol, was observed under beam-type collision-induced dissociation (...
