Pujol M, Degeilh L, Sauty de Chalon T, Réglier M, Simaan AJ, Decroos C. Repurposing myoglobin into a carbene transferase for a [2,3]-sigmatropic Sommelet-Hauser rearrangement. J Inorg Biochem 2024; 260:112688. [PMID: 39111220 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2024.112688] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2024] [Revised: 07/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 09/03/2024]
Abstract
New-to-Nature biocatalysis has emerged as a promising tool in organic synthesis thanks to progress in protein engineering. Notably, hemeproteins have been evolved into robust catalysts for carbene and nitrene transfers and related sigmatropic rearrangements. In this work, we report the first example of a [2,3]-sigmatropic Sommelet-Hauser rearrangement initiated by a carbene transfer of the sperm whale myoglobin mutant L29S,H64V,V68F that was previously reported to catalyze the mechanistically similar [2,3]-sigmatropic Doyle-Kirmse rearrangement. This repurposed heme enzyme catalyzes the Sommelet-Hauser rearrangement between ethyl diazoacetate and benzyl thioethers bearing strong electron-withdrawing substituents with good yields and enantiomeric excess. Optimized catalytic conditions in the absence of any reductant led to an increased asymmetric induction with up to 59% enantiomeric excess. This myoglobin mutant is therefore one of the few catalysts for the asymmetric Sommelet-Hauser rearrangement. This work broadens the scope of abiological reactions catalyzed by iron-carbene transferases with a new example of asymmetric sigmatropic rearrangement.

Abstract
A new radical relay approach for the efficient construction of alkylsulfonated indolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-6(5H)-ones in moderate to good yields under mild conditions via SO2 insertion/Smiles rearrangement/intramolecular cyclization is developed. This approach utilizes 4-alkyl substituted Hantzsch esters as alkyl radical sources and further undergoes in situ SO2 insertion to obtain alkylsulfonyl radical species, which avoids the use of unstable alkyl sulfonyl chlorides and highly toxic sulfonyl hydrazides. Additionally, this method for the direct assembly of alkylsulfonated polycyclic molecule skeletons displays high chemical selectivity, broad substrate scope, and step-economy.

Abstract
A simple and high-yielding strategy to produce a variety of β-keto sulfides using asymmetrical and symmetrical thiosulfonates with ketones under mild conditions is reported. It was found that the various substituted compounds, with both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents, afforded a wide range of β-keto thiosulfones (α-thioaryl-β-keto sulfones) in moderate to high yields. The transformations were reliable at the gram-scale, thus illustrating their efficiency and practicality. A plausible mechanism for the protocol is also proposed.

Abstract
In this study, we have developed an effective and general strategy for synthesizing various 4-[(trifluoromethyl)thio]-2,3-dihydrofuran derivatives with high regioselectivity from easily prepared cyclopropyl ketone under mild reaction conditions. By the combination of photoredox, copper, and Lewis acid catalysis into a triple catalytic system, this methodology facilitates the selective cleavage of the carbon-carbon bonds and the formation of new carbon-oxygen and carbon-sulfur bonds. In addition, to enhance the synthetic feasibility of this protocol, we demonstrate its broad applicability across a wide range of substrates and its scalability for large-scale synthesis.

Abstract
A copper-catalyzed Ullmann-type cross-coupling reaction of sulfenamides with aryl iodides is developed. The key to success is the use of a 2-methylnaphthalen-1-amine-derived amide ligand, which enables the formation of an S-C bond to access functionalized sulfilimines in good to excellent yields at room temperature. This method has the advantages of mild conditions, a broad substrate scope, good functional group compatibility, and high chemoselectivity. The utility of this protocol is highlighted through late-stage modification of drug-relevant molecules and sulfilimine product derivatization.

Abstract
A zinc-mediated cross-electrophile coupling of benzyl sulfonium salts with thiosulfonates via C-S bond cleavage was achieved. The reductive thiolation proceeded well under transition metal-free conditions to afford the desired benzyl sulfides in good yields, exhibiting both broad substrate scope and good functionality tolerance. In addition, the reaction could be applied to the use of selenosulfonate as an effective selenylation agent and be subjected to scale-up synthesis.

Abstract
A series of new RS-, RS-CH2- and R2N-CH2-functionalized сatechols with heterocyclic fragments such as 1,3,4-oxadiazole, 1,2,4-triazole, thiazole, or pyridine were synthesized by the reaction of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone or 3,5-di-tert-butyl-6-methoxymethylcatechol with different heterocyclic thiols. The S-functionalized catechols were prepared by the Michael reaction from 3,5-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone and the corresponding thiols. The starting reagents such as substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiols and 4H-triazole-3-thiols are characterized by thiol-thione tautomerism, therefore their reactions with 3,5-di-tert-butyl-6-methoxymethylcatechol can proceed at the sulfur or nitrogen atom. In the case of mercapto-derivatives of thiazole or pyridine, this process leads to the formation of the corresponding thioethers with a methylene linker. At the same time, thiolated 1,3,4-oxadiazole or 1,2,4-triazole undergo alkylation at the nitrogen atom in the reaction with 3,5-di-tert-butyl-6-methoxymethylcatechol to form the corresponding thiones. The yield of reaction products ranges from 42 to 80%. The crystal structures of catechols with 3-nitropyridine or 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thione moieties were established by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The possibility of forming intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds has been established for these compounds. The electrochemical behavior of the studied compounds is influenced by several factors: the nature of the heterocycle and its substituents, the presence of a sulfur atom in the catechol ring, or a thione group in the heterocyclic core. The radical scavenging activity and antioxidant properties were determined using the reaction with synthetic radicals, the cupric reducing antioxidant capacity assay, the inhibition process of superoxide radical anion formation by xanthine oxidase, and the process of lipid peroxidation of rat liver (Wistar) homogenates in vitro.

Abstract
We report herein α-C(sp3)-H (hetero)arylation of thioethers enabled by dual nickel and photoexcited triplet ketone catalysis. The mild reaction conditions of this protocol tolerate a variety of functional groups and further facilitate the late-stage functionalization of biologically relevant molecules to afford corresponding products in moderate to good yields. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the generation of the α-thioalkyl radical takes place through a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) event, which is involved in the rate-limiting step and in the nickel cycle, the reaction of the α-thioalkyl radical with Ni(0)Ln catalyst followed by oxidative addition of aryl bromide is the dominating pathway. Furthermore, the heteroaromatic benzylic thioethers can also be achieved from the corresponding reduced 4-cyano pyridine derivatives in the presence of a ketone catalyst through a radical-radical coupling reaction without metal. The increased yield of the products in the presence of DABCO might indicate a higher rate of α-thioalkyl radical formation from thioethers through the HAT event by DABCO radical cation.

Abstract
S(VI) compounds with multiple N or O substituents are often difficult to make and several crucial routes, such as multimodal SuFEx (Sulfur (VI) Fluoride Exchange) chemistry, rely on the highly useful but hazardous SOF4 gas. Safety issues and inaccessibility of SOF4 strongly hamper the developments of these organic compounds. Here we describe the synthesis and applications of 2-methylimidazole-1-(N-tert-octyl)sulfonimidoyl fluoride (ImSF), a novel bench-stable analogue of SOF4. ImSF is synthesized on a gram scale via a double fluorination of t-OctNSO. We show ImSF can undergo substitution reactions with phenols and amines, which lead to sulfurimidates and sulfuramidimidates, respectively, the intrinsically chiral analogous of medicinally relevant sulfates and sulfamates in which an S=O moiety is replaced by S=NR unit. Finally we demonstrate that such substitutions can occur enantiospecifically, providing the first entry to chiral sulfurimidates and sulfuramidimidates.

The proposed organocatalytic approach allows the straightforward formation of a broad range of thioesters and sulfenyl-substituted aldehydes in yields above 86%, in mild and metal-free conditions. In this study, thirty-six sulfur-based derivatives were obtained and characterized by spectroscopic methods.

Abstract
A novel approach for the synthesis of 1,3,4-oxa(thia)diazole aryl thioethers through a biocatalytic strategy has been introduced. By leveraging Myceliophthora thermophila laccase (Novozym 51003) as a catalyst, catechol undergoes oxidation to ortho-quinone, facilitating subsequent 1,4-thia-Michael addition reactions. The method offers efficiency and mild reaction conditions, demonstrating promise for sustainable synthesis pathways in organic chemistry. Using this approach, 13 new derivatives of 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxa(thia)diazole aryl thioethers, with a yield of 46-94%, were synthesized.

Abstract
Recently, the introduction of fluorosulfonyl (-SO2F) groups have attracted considerable research interests, as this moiety could often afford enhanced activities and new functions in the context of chemical biology and drug discovery. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of 1-fluorosulfamoyl-pyridinium (FSAP) salts, which could serve as an effective photoredox-active precursor to fluorosulfamoyl radicals and enable the direct radical C-H fluorosulfonamidation of a variety of (hetero)arenes. This method features mild conditions, visible light, broad substrate scope, good group tolerance, etc., and a metal-free protocol is also viable by using organic photocatalysts. Further, FSAP can also be applied to the radical functionalization of alkenes via 1,2-difunctionalization, radical distal migration, tandem radical-polar crossover reactions, etc. In addition, a formal C-H methylamination of (hetero)arenes by combining this radical C-H fluorosulfonamidation with subsequent hydrolysis as well as product derivatization are also demonstrated.

Abstract
The increasing resistance of agricultural pests to existing acaricides presents a significant challenge to sustainable agriculture. Therefore, this study introduced FM-1088, a novel isoindolinone-based phenyl trifluoroethyl thioether derivative generated through an innovative design strategy combining bioisosterism and novel cyclization methods. We synthesized several compounds and evaluated their acaricidal efficacy against Tetranychus cinnabarinus in greenhouses and Panonychus citri in field settings. FM-1088 emerged as a standout candidate, demonstrating a lower median lethal concentration (LC50) of 0.722 mg/L compared to the commercial acaricide, cyetpyrafen. Notably, 30 days after application, FM-1088 showed a field control efficacy of 96.4% against P. citri, highlighting its potential for broader applications. The results underscore the utility of the isoindolinone scaffold in pesticide development, offering a promising solution to combat pest resistance with implications for enhanced crop protection and agricultural productivity. Future studies should explore the detailed mode of action of FM-1088 and its potential applicability across diverse agricultural settings, further confirming its role as a sustainable solution for pest management.

Abstract
We present a one-pot reaction that offers an efficient approach to synthesizing tetrasubstituted vinyl sulfides with high stereoselectivity. This method involves the sequential Wolff rearrangement, ylide formation, and [1,4]-aryl transfer by utilizing aryl and alkyl thiols and α-diazo carbonyl compounds as substrates. Notably, this reaction features commercially available materials, straightforward operation, atom economy, and broad substrate scope. Moreover, the primary photophysical properties (aggregation-induced emission effect) of the products were also investigated, which might be useful in functional materials via structural modification.

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
C-S bond metathesis of thioethers has gained attention as a new approach to the late-stage diversification of already existing useful thioethers with molecular frameworks intact. However, direct or indirect thioether metathesis is scarcely reported, and heterogeneously catalyzed systems have not been explored. Here, we develop heterogeneously catalyzed direct thioether metathesis using a supported Au-Pd alloy nanoparticle catalyst with a high Au/Pd ratio. The Au-diluted Pd ensembles suppress the strong π-adsorption of diaryl thioethers on the nanoparticles and promote transmetalation via thiolate spill-over onto neighboring Au species, enabling an efficient direct thioether metathesis.

Abstract
This Perspective is a continuation of our analysis of U.S. FDA-approved small-molecule drugs (1938-2012) containing nitrogen heterocycles. In this study we report drug structure and property analyses of 321 unique new small-molecule drugs approved from January 2013 to December 2023 as well as information about frequency of important heteroatoms such as sulfur and fluorine and key small nitrogen substituents (CN and NO2). The most notable change is an incredible increase in drugs containing at least one nitrogen heterocycle─82%, compared to 59% from preceding decades─as well as a significant increase in the number of nitrogen heterocycles per drug. Pyridine has claimed the #1 high-frequency nitrogen heterocycle occurrence spot from piperidine (#2), with pyrimidine (#5), pyrazole (#6), and morpholine (#9) being the big top 10 climbers. Also notable is high number of fused nitrogen heterocycles, apparently driven largely by newly approved cancer drugs.

Abstract
Exploring the scope of biocatalytic transformations in the absence of enzyme structures without extensive experimentation is a challenging task. To expand the limited substrate capacity of carrot-mediated bioreduction and hunt for new medicinally relevant ketones with minimum cost of labor and time, we deployed a practical method inspired by ligand-based drug design. Through analyzing collected literature data and building pharmacophore and reactivity prediction models, we screened a self-built virtual library of >8000 ketones bearing the most frequently used N,O,S-heterocycles and functional groups in drug discovery. Representative examples were validated, expanding the bioreduction substrate scope. The public availability of our models alongside the straightforward screening workflow makes it time-, labor-, and cost-saving to evaluate unknown bioreduction substrates for medicinal chemistry applications, especially for a large set of structurally differentiated ketones. Our studies also showcase the novelty of utilizing medicinal chemistry principles to solve a general biocatalysis problem.

Abstract
Sulfinamides are versatile, synthetically useful intermediates, and final motifs. Traditional methods to synthesize sulfinamides generally require substrates with preinstalled sulfur centers. However, these precursors have limited commercial availability, and the associated synthetic routes often require harsh reaction conditions and highly reactive reagents, thus severely limiting their application. Herein, we report the synthesis of sulfinamides from aryl and alkenyl (pseudo)halides and N-sulfinylamines, enabled by palladium catalysis. The reactions use mild conditions and are achieved without the use of highly reactive preformed organometallic reagents, resulting in transformations of broad generality and high functional group tolerance. In particular, substrates featuring protic and electrophilic functional groups can be used successfully. The modification of complex aryl cores and natural product derivatives demonstrates the utility of this method.

Abstract
We have successfully synthesized a series of bidentate ligands by utilizing 2-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl trifluorosulfonate as a precursor for the benzyl group. This method proceeded by inserting a polythiourea into the C═S π-bond, intramolecular ring proton migration, and ring opening. Salient features of this strategy are mild reaction conditions, a novel product structure, excellent stereochemistry, and a good functional group tolerance. Furthermore, a series of density functional theory calculations were performed to gain insights into the transfer mechanism.

Abstract
In the current study, a series of fluorine-substituted piperidine derivatives (1-8) has been synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. In vitro and in vivo enzyme inhibitory studies were conducted to elucidate the efficacy of these compounds, shedding light on their potential therapeutic applications. To the best of our knowledge, for the first time, these heterocyclic structures have been investigated against α-glucosidase and cholinesterase enzymes. The antioxidant activity of the synthesized compounds was also assessed. Evaluation of synthesized compounds revealed notable inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase and cholinesterases. Remarkably, the target compounds (1-8) exhibited extraordinary α-glucosidase inhibitory activity as compared to the standard acarbose by several-fold. Subsequently, the potential antidiabetic effects of compounds 2, 4, 5, and 6 were validated using a STZ-induced diabetic rat model. Kinetic studies were also performed to understand the mechanism of inhibition, while structure-activity relationship analyses provided valuable insights into the structural features governing enzyme inhibition. Kinetic investigations revealed that compound 4 displayed a competitive mode of inhibition against α-glucosidase, whereas compound 2 demonstrated mixed-type behavior against AChE. To delve deeper into the binding interactions between the synthesized compounds and their respective enzyme targets, molecular docking studies were conducted. Overall, our findings highlight the promising potential of these densely substituted piperidines as multifunctional agents for the treatment of diseases associated with dysregulated glucose metabolism and cholinergic dysfunction.

Abstract
Sulfation is one of the most important modifications that occur to a wide range of bioactive small molecules including polysaccharides, proteins, flavonoids, and steroids. In turn, these sulfated molecules have significant biological and pharmacological roles in diverse processes including cell signalling, modulation of immune and inflammation response, anti-coagulation, anti-atherosclerosis, and anti-adhesive properties. This Essay summarises the most encountered chemical sulfation methods of small molecules. Sulfation reactions using sulfur trioxide amine/amide complexes are the most used method for alcohol and phenol groups in carbohydrates, steroids, proteins, and related scaffolds. Despite the effectiveness of these methods, they suffer from issues including multiple-purification steps, toxicity issues (e.g., pyridine contamination), purification challenges, stoichiometric excess of reagents which leads to an increase in reaction cost, and intrinsic stability issues of both the reagent and product. Recent advances including SuFEx, the in situ reagent approach, and TBSAB show the widespread appeal of novel sulfating approaches that will enable a larger exploration of the field in the years to come by simplifying the purification and isolation process to access bespoke sulfated small molecules.

RSC Adv 2024; 14:18501-18507.

Abstract
Halo-cycloetherification of lactam-tethered alkenols enables the construction of oxygen-heterocycles that are fused to nitrogen heterocycles via intramolecular halonium-induced nucleophilic addition. Specifically, tetrahydropyrans (THPs) that are fused to a nitrogen heterocycle constitute the core of several bioactive molecules, including tachykinin receptor antagonists and alpha-1 adrenergic antagonists. Although the literature is replete with successful examples of the halo-cycloetherification of simple mono- or disubstituted primary alkenols, methods for the modular, efficient, regioselective, and stereocontrolled intramolecular haloetherification of sterically encumbered trisubstituted tertiary alkenols are rare. Here, we describe a simple intramolecular bromoetherification strategy that meets these benchmarks and proceeds with exclusive 6-endo regioselectivity. The transformation employs mild and water-tolerant conditions, which bodes well for late-stage diversification. The hindered ethers contain four contiguous stereocenters as well as one halogen-bearing tetrasubstituted stereocenter.

Abstract
Designing supramolecular architectures with uncommon geometries has always been a key goal in the field of metal-ligand coordination-driven self-assembly. It acquires added significance if functional building units are employed in constructing such architectures for fruitful applications. In this report, we address both these aspects by developing a water-soluble Pd16L8 coordination cage 1 with an unusual square orthobicupola geometry, which was used for selective aerobic oxidation of aryl sulfides. Self-assembly of a benzothiadiazole-based tetra-pyridyl donor L with a ditopic cis-[(tmeda)Pd(NO3)2] acceptor [tmeda = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine] produced 1, and the geometry was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. Unlike the typically observed tri- or tetrafacial barrel, the present Pd16L8 coordination assembly features a distinctive structural topology and is a unique example of a water-soluble molecular architecture with a square orthobicupola geometry. Efficient and selective aerobic oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides is an important challenge as conventional oxidation generally leads to the formation of sulfoxide along with toxic sulfone. Cage 1, designed with a ligand containing a benzothiadiazole moiety, demonstrates an ability to photogenerate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in water, thus enabling it to serve as a potential photocatalyst. The cage showed excellent catalytic efficiency for highly selective conversion of alkyl and aryl sulfides to their corresponding sulfoxides, therefore without the formation of toxic sulfones and other byproducts, under visible light in aqueous medium.

Abstract
Sulfur-containing natural products possess a variety of biological functions including antitumor, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antiviral activities. In this study, four previously undescribed sulfur-containing compounds asperteretals L and M, terreins A and B, together with 17 known compounds were obtained from a culture of marine fungus A. terreus supplemented with inorganic sulfur source Na2SO4. Their planar structures and absolute configurations were elucidated by NMR, HRESIMS, and ECD experiments. The in vitro cytotoxicities of compounds 1-21 against HCT-116 and Caco-2 were evaluated by SRB assay. Asperteretal M (2) exhibited activity against HCT-116 with the IC50 value at 30μM. The antiproliferative effect of asperteretal M was confirmed by colony formation assay and cell death staining. Furthermore, the preliminary study on the anti-colon cancer mechanism of asperteretal M was performed by RNA-seq analysis. Western blotting validated that asperteretal M significantly decreased the expression of cell-cycle regulatory proteins CDK1, CDK4, and PCNA in a concentration-dependent manner.

Abstract
A practical and efficient method to access polysubstituted aryl sulfides has been discovered via a Lewis acid-catalyzed reaction between alkynyl sulfide and 2-pyrone, involving a Diels-Alder/retro-Diels-Alder pathway. Alkynyl sulfide as an electron-rich dienophile and 2-pyrones as electron-poor dienes are conjunctively transformed into a series of polysubstituted aryl sulfides with broad functional group compatibility in good to excellent yields (40 examples, 43-88% yield). The robustness and practicality of the protocol has been demonstrated through gram-scale synthesis and the ease of transformation of the resulting products.

Abstract
Reported herein is the 1,2-dithiocyanation of alkenes and alkynes via an efficient and facile electrochemical method. This approach not only showed a broad substrate scope and good functional-group compatibility but also avoided stoichiometric oxidants. Different from previous reports, various internal alkynes could be tolerated to provide tetra-substituted alkenes. Further gram-scale-up experiments and synthetic transformation demonstrated a potential application in organic synthesis. This process underwent a radical pathway, as evidenced by our mechanistic studies.

Abstract
DNA-encoded library (DEL) technologies enable the fast exploration of gigantic chemical space to identify ligands for the target protein of interest and have become a powerful hit finding tool for drug discovery projects. However, amenable DEL chemistry is restricted to a handful of reactions, limiting the creativity of drug hunters. Here, we describe a new on-DNA synthetic pathway to access sulfides and sulfoximines. These moieties, usually contemplated as challenging to achieve through alkylation and oxidation, can now be leveraged in routine DEL selection campaigns.

Abstract
Sulfilimines are valuable compounds in both organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals. In this study, we present a copper-catalyzed sulfur alkylation of sulfenamides with N-sulfonylhydrazones. In contrast to prior findings, hydrazones derived from aldehydes act as donor-type carbene precursors, effectively engaging in coupling with sulfenamides via a copper catalyst, demonstrating exclusive S selectivity. The utility of the protocol was highlighted in the rapid access to a wide range of sulfoximine derivatives.

Abstract
In light of the important biological activities and widespread applications of organic disulfides, dithiocarbamates, xanthates, thiocarbamates and thiocarbonates, the continual persuit of efficient methods for their synthesis remains crucial. Traditionally, the preparation of such compounds heavily relied on intricate multi-step syntheses and the use of highly prefunctionalized starting materials. Over the past two decades, the direct sulfuration of C-H bonds has evolved into a straightforward, atom- and step-economical method for the preparation of organosulfur compounds. This review aims to provide an up-to-date discussion on direct C-H disulfuration, dithiocarbamation, xanthylation, thiocarbamation and thiocarbonation, with a special focus on describing scopes and mechanistic aspects. Moreover, the synthetic limitations and applications of some of these methodologies, along with the key unsolved challenges to be addressed in the future are also discussed. The majority of examples covered in this review are accomplished via metal-free, photochemical or electrochemical approaches, which are in alignment with the overraching objectives of green and sustainable chemistry. This comprehensive review aims to consolidate recent advancements, providing valuable insights into the dynamic landscape of efficient and sustainable synthetic strategies for these crucial classes of organosulfur compounds.

Abstract
A method for generation of SVI sulfones from β-sulfinyl esters (SIV) under transition-metal-free non-oxidative mild conditions is presented. Various sulfones have been achieved with moderate to excellent yields. The advantage of using β-sulfinyl esters as masked aryl sulfinates has also been exemplified using brominated substrates. Oxygen isotope-labeling experiments indicated that the oxygen atoms incorporated into the sulfone product come from the sulfoxide of the β-sulfinyl ester. Successive β-elimination/O-addition/sulfinate esterification/β-elimination processes are proposed for the mechanism of generating SVI from SIV.

Abstract
A visible light-catalyzed radical coupling reaction of polysulfide reagents with aryldiazonium was developed, which gave thiosulfonates under mild conditions. In this reaction, the thiosulfonates were isolated in good yields with a broad tolerance to functional groups. And the synthesis of diaryl monosulfides were achieved through a step-by-step reaction of two molecular aryldiazonium with DBSPS, where the sulfur source was provided by DBSPS. It was worth noting that the reaction of this monosulfides could also be achieved by a one pot two-step process. The described polysulfide reagents were able to produce three new radicals: sulfonyl radicals, sulfur-sulfonyl radicals and sulfur-sulfur-sulfonyl radicals.

Abstract
Enabled by triethyl amine (Et3N) and thionyl chloride (SOCl2), an efficient and practical protocol for deoxygenation of sulfoxide to sulfide was developed. This new method features a wide range of substrate scope, including diaryl, dialkyl and aryl alkyl substituted sulfoxides. Detailed mechanistic investigations reveal the crucial role played by Et3N as an electron-donating reductant rather than a hydrogen-atom donor.

Abstract
The diterpene 7α-acetoxy-6β-hydroxyroyleanone isolated from Plectranthus grandidentatus demonstrates promising antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. However, its bioactivity may be enhanced via strategic structural modifications of such natural products through semisynthesis. The anticancer potential of 7α-acetoxy-6β-hydroxyroyleanone and five derivatives was analyzed in silico via the prediction of chemicals absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET), quantum mechanical calculations, molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulation. The protein targets included regulators of apoptosis and cell proliferation. Additionally, network pharmacology was used to identify potential targets and signaling pathways. Derivatives 7α-acetoxy-6β-hydroxy-12-O-(2-fluoryl)royleanone and 7α-acetoxy-6β-(4-fluoro)benzoxy-12-O-(4-fluoro)benzoylroyleanone achieved high predicted binding affinities towards their respective protein panels, with stable molecular dynamics trajectories. Both compounds demonstrated favorable ADMET parameters and toxicity profiles. Their stability and reactivity were confirmed via geometry optimization. Network analysis revealed their involvement in cancer-related pathways. Our findings justify the inclusion of 7α-acetoxy-6β-hydroxy-12-O-(2-fluoryl)royleanone and 7α-acetoxy-6β-(4-fluoro)benzoxy-12-O-(4-fluoro)benzoylroyleanone in in vitro analyses as prospective anticancer agents. Our binding mode analysis and stability simulations indicate their potential as selective inhibitors. The data will guide studies into their structure optimization, enhancing efficacy and drug-likeness.

Abstract
A transition metal-free concise and efficient protocol for the synthesis of thiocyanated aminomaleimides and benzo[e][1,4]thiazepine derivatives has been developed. The method involves an initial α-C-H thiocyanation of aminomaleimides with KSCN and TEMPO-mediated tandem S-CN bond cleavage/intramolecular cyclization substitution processes, which enables the formation of seven-membered S/N-heterocycles. This synthetic strategy provides a reliable method for the synthesis of biologically interesting benzo[e][1,4]thiazepine derivatives by using KSCN as sulfur sources as well as expands the application of enaminones thiocyanation reactions in heterocycles synthesis.

Abstract
A novel and metal-free [3 + 2] annulation of tetraalkylthiuram disulfide with alkynes/alkenes has been developed using Selectfluor at room temperature. The formed 1,3-dithiol-2-ylium/1,3-dithiolan-2-ylium salts can be easily transformed into the corresponding 1,3-dithiol-2-ylidenes/1,3-ditholan-2-ylidenes by one-pot subsequent condensation with malononitrile. The present protocol features the use of easily accessible starting materials, mild reaction conditions, good tolerance with diverse functional groups, easy scale-up, and a wide substrate scope, affording the desired products in good yields. Importantly, this method is suitable for the late-stage modification of bioactive molecules. Furthermore, 1,3-dithiol-2-ylium salt can also be easily converted into various 1,3-dithiole derivatives by condensation, reduction, or hydrolysis. Mechanism studies show that this transformation involves radical annulation. Of note, this method presented a novel example using tetraalkylthiuram disulfide as a sulfur synthon in annulation, which greatly enriches the application of tetraalkylthiuram disulfides in organic synthesis. Biological evaluation indicates that these prepared compounds are promising candidates in terms of their antitumor activity.

Abstract
A selective three-component 1,2-sulfonyl etherification of aryl 1,3-dienes enabled by copper catalysis to afford biologically interesting alkenyl 1,2-sulfone ether derivatives through C-S and C-O bond formation is described. The protocol proceeds with the sulfonyl chloride and alcohols under simple, mild, and base-free conditions, providing a straightforward route to sulfonylated allyl ether compounds with broad functional group tolerance and excellent chemo- and regioselectivity. Mechanistic studies indicate that the selective alkene difunctionalization includes a key copper-mediated single-electron transfer process.

Abstract
Catalyst-free Markovnikov-selective hydrothiolation of unactivated alkenes still remains a great challenge. Herein, we develop a catalyst/metal/solvent-free methodology for the Markovnikov hydrothiolation of unactivated alkenes with in situ prepared dithiocarbamic acids, providing a wide array of alkyl dithiocarbamates. A variety of terminal, internal, cyclic, and acyclic unactivated alkenes were applied successfully in this protocol. This three-component thiol-ene reaction can be considered as a new family of click reactions.
