Abstract
The transition metal-catalyzed multi-component cross-electrophile sulfonylation, which incorporates SO2 as a linker within organic frameworks, has proven to be a powerful, efficient, and cost-effective means of synthesizing challenging alkyl-alkyl sulfones. Transition metal catalysts play a crucial role in this method by transferring electrons from reductants to electrophilic organohalides, thereby causing undesirable side reactions such as homocoupling, protodehalogenation, β-hydride elimination, etc. It is worth noting that tertiary alkyl halides have rarely been demonstrated to be compatible with current methods owing to various undesired side reactions. In this work, a zinc-promoted cross-electrophile sulfonylation is developed through a radical-polar crossover pathway. This approach enables the synthesis of various alkyl-alkyl sulfones, including 1°-1°, 2°-1°, 3°-1°, 2°-2°, and 3°-2° types, from inexpensive and readily available alkyl halides. Various functional groups are well tolerated in the work, resulting in yields of up to 93%. Additionally, this protocol has been successfully applied to intramolecular sulfonylation and homo-sulfonylation reactions. The insights gained from this work shall be useful for the further development of cross-electrophile sulfonylation to access alkyl-alkyl sulfones.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed enantioselective nitrene transfer to sulfides has emerged as one of the most powerful strategies for rapid construction of enantioenriched sulfimides. However, achieving stereocontrol over highly active earth-abundant transition-metal nitrenoid intermediates remains a formidable challenge compared with precious metals. Herein, we disclose a chiral iron(II)/N,N'-dioxide-catalyzed enantioselective imidation of dialkyl and alkyl aryl sulfides using iminoiodinanes as nitrene precursors. A series of chiral sulfimides were obtained in moderate-to-good yields with high enantioselectivities (56 examples, up to 99% yield, 98:2 e.r.). The utility of this methodology was demonstrated by late-stage modification of complex molecules and synthesis of the chiral insecticide sulfoxaflor and the intermediates of related bioactive compounds. Based on experimental studies and theoretical calculations, a water-bonded high-spin iron nitrenoid species was identified as the key intermediate. The observed stereoselectivity was original from the steric repulsion between the amide unit of the ligand in the chiral cave and the bulky substituent of sulfides. Additionally, dioxazolones proved to be suitable acylnitrene precursors in the presence of an iron(III)/N,N'-dioxide complex, resulting in the formation of enantioselectivity-reversed sulfimides (14 examples, up to 81% yield, 97:3 e.r.).

Abstract
Sulfinamides have been widely used in organic synthesis, with research on their preparation spanning more than a century. Despite advancements in catalytic methodologies, creating sulfur stereocenters within these molecules remains a significant challenge. In this study, we present an effective and versatile method for synthesizing a diverse range of S-chirogenic sulfinamides through catalytic asymmetric aryl addition to sulfinylamines. By utilizing a nickel complex as a catalyst, this process exhibits impressive enantioselectivity and can incorporate various arylboronic acids at the sulfur position. The resulting synthetic sulfinamides are stable and highly adaptable, allowing for their conversion to a variety of sulfur-containing compounds. Our study also incorporates detailed experimental and computational studies to elucidate the reaction mechanism and factors influencing enantioselectivity.

Abstract
The application of sulfinamides has been witnessed in medicinal and agrochemistry with employment in asymmetric transformations. However, methods for their asymmetric catalytic synthesis have rarely been explored. Herein, the catalytic enantioselective addition of aryl boroxines to sulfinylamines via Cu catalyst and the newly developed Xuphos ligand were reported. A series of chiral aryl sulfinamides can be readily accessed in one step. This protocol enables the stereospecific transformation of sulfinamides to sulfonimidoyl fluorides, sulfonimidamides, and sulfonimidate esters. DFT calculations have revealed the reaction pathway, and the migratory insertion is the enantio-determining step. The noncovalent interaction between the oxygen atom of sulfinylamines and the C-H bonds in the ligand is crucial for enantioselectivity control.

Abstract
Ionic detergents enable applications and cause harm in biospheres due to cell toxicity. The utility of covalent combinations between ionic and non-ionic detergent headgroups in modulating cell toxicity remains speculative due to the yet rarely explored synthesis. We close this gap and establish the modular synthesis of ionic/non-ionic hybrid detergents. We restructure a combinatorial methallyl dichloride one-pot coupling into a two-step coupling, which reduces by-products, improves product yields, and enables the gram-scale preparation of asymmetric, cationic/non-ionic and anionic/non-ionic hybrid detergents. Our modular synthesis delivers new modalities for the design of ionic detergents, including an unprecedented scaling of properties that determine applications, such as charge, critical micelle concentration, solubilizing properties, hard water tolerance, and cell compatibility. We uncover that shielding the charge in ionic headgroups can switch the detergent species that is toxic to cells from monomers to mixtures of monomers and micellar assemblies. Establishing the chemistry of ionic/non-ionic hybrid detergents provides a missing evolutionary link in the structural comparison of ionic and non-ionic detergents, enables an easy synthesis access to yet unexplored chemical spaces of asymmetric hybrid materials, and delivers new modalities for designing the toxicity of supramolecular nanomaterials.

Abstract
The enantioselective synthesis of S-stereogenic sulfinamides has garnered considerable attention due to their structural and physicochemical properties. However, catalytic asymmetric synthesis of sulfinamides still remains daunting challenges, impeding their broad application in drug discovery and development. Here, we present an approach for the synthesis of S-stereogenic sulfinamides through peptide-mimic phosphonium salt-catalyzed asymmetric skeletal reorganization of simple prochiral and/or racemic sulfoximines. This methodology allows for the facile access to a diverse array of substituted sulfinamides with excellent enantioselectivities, accommodating various substituent patterns through desymmetrization or parallel kinetic resolution process. Mechanistic experiments, coupled with density functional theory calculations, clarify a stepwise pathway involving ring-opening and ring-closing processes, with the ring-opening step identified as crucial for achieving stereoselective control. Given the prevalence of S-stereogenic centers in pharmaceuticals, we anticipate that this protocol will enhance the efficient and precise synthesis of relevant chiral molecules and their analogs, thereby contributing to advancements in drug discovery.

Abstract
A pro-chiral Schiff base ligand (HL) was synthesized by the reaction of 2-amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol and pyridine-2-carbaldehyde in methanol. The reaction of HL with CuCl2·2H2O and CuBr2 in methanol gave neutral mononuclear Cu(II) complexes with general formula of [Cu(HL)Cl2] (1) and [Cu(HL)Br2] (2), respectively. By slow evaporation of the methanolic solutions of 1 and 2, their enantiomers were isolated in crystalline format. The formation of pure chiral crystals in the racemic mixture was amply authenticated by single crystal X-ray analysis, which indicated that S-[Cu(HL)Cl2], R-[Cu(HL)Cl2], and S-[Cu(HL)Br2] are crystallized in chiral P212121 space group of orthorhombic system. Preferential crystallization was used to isolate the R and S enantiomers as single crystals and the isolated compounds were also studied by CD analysis. Structural studies indicated that the origin of the chirality in these compounds is related to the coordination mode of the employed pro-chiral ligand (HL) because one of its carbon atoms has been converted to a chiral center in the synthesized complexes. Subsequently, these complexes were used in click synthesis of a β-hydroxy-1,2,3-triazole and the results of catalytic studies indicated that 1 and 2 can act as enantioselective catalysts for the asymmetric synthesis of β-hydroxy-1,2,3-triazole product under mild condition. This study illustrates the significant capacity of the use of pro-chiral ligands in preparing chiral catalysts based on complexes which can also be considered as an effective approach to cheap chiral catalysts from achiral reagents.

Abstract
Organic molecules bearing chiral sulfur stereocenters exert a great impact on asymmetric catalysis and synthesis, chiral drugs, and chiral materials. Compared with acyclic ones, the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of thio-heterocycles has largely lagged behind due to the lack of efficient synthetic strategies. Here we establish the first modular platform to access chiral thio-oxazolidinones via Pd-catalyzed asymmetric [3+2] annulations of vinylethylene carbonates with sulfinylanilines. This protocol is featured by readily available starting materials, and high enantio- and diastereoselectivity. In particular, an unusual effect of a non-chiral supporting ligand on the diastereoselectivity was observed. Possible reaction mechanisms and stereocontrol models were proposed.

Abstract
In this study, we have delved into various reactions conducted using green solvents or under solvent-free conditions, employing hydrogen bonding organocatalysis to advance more sustainable practices in chemical synthesis. The outcomes suggest that cyclopentyl methyl ether could potentially replace non-polar organic solvents such as hexane and toluene with comparable enantioselectivity and yields. The non-polar nature of liquefied or supercritical CO2 restricts its application to reactions that require non-polar solvents. Furthermore, pursuing solvent-free conditions, even without liquid substrates, might result in similar conversion rates with reduced catalyst loading. These findings highlight the potential of exploring solvent-free conditions when enantioselectivity is not of concern. Based on the results, solvent-free conditions and bio-based solvents can serve as viable alternatives to conventional organic solvents without compromising performance. This is expected to influence the way chemists approach reaction optimisation within method development in the field, fostering a broader adoption of environmentally friendly approaches.

Abstract
An increased interest to expand three-dimensional chemical space for the design of new materials and medicines has created a demand for isosteric replacement groups of commonly used molecular functionality. The structural and chemical properties of chiral S(VI) functional groups provide unique spatial and electronic features compared with their achiral sulfur- and carbon-based counterparts. Manipulation of the S(VI) centre to introduce structural variation with stereochemical control has remained a synthetic challenge. The stability of sulfonimidoyl fluorides and the efficiency of sulfur fluorine exchange chemistry has enabled the development of the enantiopure bifunctional S(VI) transfer reagent t-BuSF to overcome current synthetic limitations. Here, we disclose a reagent platform that serves as a chiral sulfur fluorine exchange template for the rapid asymmetric synthesis of over 70 sulfoximines, sulfonimidoyl fluorides and sulfonimidamides with excellent enantiomeric excess and good overall yields. Furthermore, the practical utility of the bifunctional S(VI) transfer reagent was demonstrated in the syntheses of enantiopure pharmaceutical intermediates and analogues.

Abstract
Sulfoxides are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry and as ligands in asymmetric catalysis. However, the efficient asymmetric synthesis of this structural motif remains limited. In this study, we disclosed a Ni-catalyzed enantioconvergent reaction that utilizes both racemic allenyl carbonates and β-sulfinyl esters. Our method employs cheap and more sustainable Ni(II) as a precatalyst and successfully overcomes the challenging poisoning effect and instability of sulfenate generated in situ. This enables the synthesis of a series of dienyl sulfoxides with enantioselectivity of up to 98 % ee. The product exhibits tremendous potential in various applications, including diastereoselective Diels-Alder reactions, coordination with transition metals, and incorporation into medicinal compounds, among others. Using a combination of experimental and computational methods, we have uncovered an interesting associated outersphere mechanism that contrasts with conventional mechanisms commonly observed in asymmetric transition metal catalysis.

Abstract
Despite the widespread applications of sulfoximines, green and efficient access to functionalized sulfoximines remains a challenge. By employing an electrochemical strategy, we describe an approach for the construction of N-aroylsulfoximines, which features a broad substrate scope, mild reaction conditions, safety on a gram scale, and no need for an external oxidant and transition metal catalysts.

Abstract
Here we report the first asymmetric synthesis of large chiral macrocycles with chiral sulfur atoms. Building on stereospecific SuFEx and SuPhenEx click chemistries, this approach utilizes disulfonimidoyl fluorides and disulfonimidoyl p-nitrophenolates─which are efficient building blocks with two chiral sulfur centers, and diphenols to efficiently form novel S-O bonds. Characteristic results include the enantiospecific one-step synthesis of rings consisting of 21-58 members and characterization of both enantiomers (R,R and S,S) by e.g. X-ray crystallography.

Abstract
New methods for the general asymmetric synthesis of sulfonimidamides are of great interest due to their applications in medicinal chemistry, agrochemical discovery, and academic research. We report a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling method for the enantioselective aryl-carbonylation of sulfonimidamides. Using data science techniques, a virtual library of calculated bisphosphine ligand descriptors was used to guide reaction optimization by effectively sampling the catalyst chemical space. The optimized conditions identified using this approach provided the desired product in excellent yield and enantioselectivity. As the next step, a data science-driven strategy was also used to explore a diverse set of aryl and heteroaryl iodides, providing key information about the scope and limitations of the method. Furthermore, we tested a range of racemic sulfonimidamides for compatibility of this coupling partner. The developed method offers a general and efficient strategy for accessing enantioenriched sulfonimidamides, which should facilitate their application in industrial and academic settings.

Abstract
In this work, a facile and efficient method for the synthesis of sulfilimines through multicomponent reaction of arynes, sulfamides, and thiosulfonates was developed. A variety of structurally diverse substrates and functional groups were very compatible in the reaction, giving the corresponding sulfilimines in good to high yields. This protocol could be conducted on a gram scale, and the product was easily converted to sulfide and sulfoximine. Mechanism studies revealed that sulfenamide generated in situ is the key intermediate for the reaction.

Abstract
Cyclic peptides are known to have biologically important roles and may also be applicable to the pharmaceutical and other industries. Furthermore, thiols and amines, which are found throughout biological systems, can react to form S-N bonds and to date, ∼100 biomolecules containing such a bond have been identified. However, while there are in principle numerous S-N containing peptide-derived rings possible, only a few are presently known to occur in biochemical systems. Density functional theory-based calculations have been used to consider the formation and structure of S-N containing cyclic peptides from systematic series of linear peptides in which a cysteinyl has first been oxidized to a sulfenic or sulfonic acid. In addition, the possible effect of the cysteine's vicinal residue on the free energy of formation has also been considered. In general, when the cysteine is first oxidized to a sulfenic acid, only the formation of smaller S-N containing rings is calculated to be exergonic in aqueous solution. In contrast, when the cysteine is first oxidized to a sulfonic acid, the formation of all rings considered (with one exception) is calculated to be endergonic in aqueous solution. The nature of vicinal residue can influence ring formation through stabilizing or destabilizing intramolecular interactions.

Abstract
An unusual series of germylenes and stannylenes with homoleptic symmetric and unsymmetric N-substituted sulfonimidamide ligands PhSO(NiPr)(NHiPr) 1 and PhSO(NMes)(NHiPr) 2 have been prepared by protonolysis reaction of Lappert's metallylenes [M(HMDS)2] (M = Ge or Sn) with two equivalents of the appropriate sulfonimidamide. The homoleptic germylenes [PhSO(NiPr)2]2Ge 3 and [PhSO(NMes)(NiPr)]2Ge 4, and stannylenes [PhSO(NiPr)2]2Sn 5 and [PhSO(NMes)(NiPr)]2Sn 6 were fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and by X-ray diffraction analysis. DFT calculations have been performed to understand the electronic properties brought by the sulfonimidamide ligand.
