Abstract: An I2/PhI(OAc)2 co-promoted strategy using dimethyl sulfoxide as a “S/C2/O” source for preparing α-dicarbonylsulfoximine derivatives is reported. This process involves oxidative coupling to construct a C–N bond and electrophilic amination of dimethyl sulfoxide to afford an N=S bond, with dimethyl sulfoxide presents in the final product as an intact molecule.

Furthermore, tetramethylene sulfoxide as a solvent is also well compatible with this amination reaction. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is an important polar aprotic solvent and mild oxidant, as well as building block that has been widely used in synthesis of organic compounds and pharmaceuticals owing to its low cost and eco-benign properties.1,2 In past decades, numerous methods have been developed using DMSO as a versatile reagent. For example, DMSO has been used as: (i) an one carbon (C1) synthon to achieve methylation, formylation, cyanation etc.;3 (ii) a “S/C1” source to introduce methylthio (MeS) group;4 (iii) a “S/C2” source by providing an electrophilic “–CH2SCH3” unit;5 (iv) a source of “oxygen” or an oxidant;6 (v) a “S/C1/O” source to insert a “-SOMe” group into the target molecule. 7 In contrast, DMSO has rarely been used as a “S/C2/O” source,8,9 presumably due to activated DMSO being prone to C–S or S–O bond cleavage. In 2018, Wang and co-workers reported an elegant method dividing DMSO into two fragments for addition to the target compound (Scheme 1a).8 Recently, Cai’s group reported an efficient visible light-enabled method for convenient incorporation of an intact DMSO molecule into the target product (Scheme 1b).9 Despite these fulfilling methods discovered in recent years, there is still a demand for the development of DMSO as a “S/C2/O” source, especially incorporation of an intact DMSO molecule into the target product.

Sulfoximines are important structural motifs because they are widely found in diverse natural products, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.10,

In past

decades, many notable advances toward the synthesis of sulfoximine derivatives have been reported,12 such as the seminal contribution of Bolm et al.13 However, developing a concise and efficient synthetic approach to sulfoximines remains highly attractive. Herein, we first reported an I2/PhI(OAc)2 co-promoted protocol to access α-dicarbonylsulfoximines from methyl ketone, ammonium bicarbonate and DMSO. Moreover, TMSO (tetramethylene sulfoxide) was also well compatible with this amination reaction to various cyclic sulfoximines. It should be noted that this method can achieve amination of

Subsequently, we further tested the reaction in the temperature range of 100 °C to 130 °C, and the results showed that 130 °C was the best for the reaction (Table 1, entries 2−4). Subsquently, different amounts of PIDA and ammonia bicarbonate were screened. The best results were seen with 2.5 mmol of PIDA and 3.0 equiv of ammonia bicarbonate (Table 1, entries 5−9 , Table S1, Table 1. Optimization of the Reaction Conditionsa O

However, without adding I2, the reaction did not occur (Table 1, entry 10). Next, a series of ammonia sources (NH4Cl, NH4OAc, NH2CO2NH4, HCOONH4, (NH4)2CO3, and (NH4)2C2O4H2O) were screened for the reaction, and NH4HCO3 was found to give the best result (Table S1, entries 20−25). Finally, 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) and phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA) were used as hypervalent iodine reagents instead of PIDA to promote

Next, we have also studied various sulfoxide compounds under optimal conditions, such as tetramethylene sulfoxide, tert-Butyl methyl sulphoxide, methyl phenyl sulfoxide, benzyl sulfoxide. Fortunately, tetramethylene sulfoxide (TMSO) was well compatible with this amination reaction to obtain product 5a in 48% yield. Subsequently, we have also explored the compatibility of the substrate with TMSO as the solvent under standard conditions (Scheme 3).

However, when the hydrated species 1ac was used as substrate, 4a was not obtained (Scheme 4c). α-Iodoketone 1aa and the hydrated species 1ac were reacted with S,S-dimethyl sulfoximine 7a under optimal conditions affording the α-dicarbonylsulfoximine 4a in 50% and 49% yields. (Schemes 4d, 4e). The above results showed that α-Iodoketone 1aa and phenylglyoxal 1ab were intermediates in this amination reaction and the phenylglyoxal 1ab and 7a were formed concurrently. Finally, the reaction of a prepared substrate 6a with DMSO was performed under the optimum conditions, but 4a could not be obtained (Scheme 4f). These results clearly excluded the possibility of α-ketoamide 6a being an intermediate, further confirming that 7a generated in situ from ammonium bicarbonate and DMSO (for details, see Supporting Information).

Based on the aforementioned results and previous reports,15 a possible mechanism was proposed (Scheme 5). Ammonium bicarbonate 2a was used as source of ammonia through a decomposition reaction. Subsequently, ammonia 2aa could react with PhI(OAc)2 (PIDA) to form intermediate A via AcOH elimination. Next, amination of dimethyl sulfoxide to construct the N=S bond can proceed via two pathways. In path a, iminoiodinanes intermediate A could be trapped by a dimethyl sulfoxide molecule to produce S,S-dimethyl sulfoximine 7a. In path b, A could combine with iodosobenzene (PhI=O) to generate intermediate B. The latter could undergo electrophilic amination to obtain C, which subsequently transforms into 7a. Concurrently, 1a is converted to phenylglyoxal 1ab, releasing HI and dimethyl sulfide (DMS) via sequential iodination/Kornblum oxidation. The S,S-dimethyl sulfoximine 7a reacted with the aldehyde group of phenylglyoxal 1ab to give intermediate

Conclusion In summary, we present a I2/PhI(OAc)2 co-promoted approach to accessing α-dicarbonylsulfoximines from methyl ketone, ammonium bicarbonate, and dimethyl sulfoxide. The reaction proceeds via oxidative coupling to construct a C–N bond and electrophilic amination to form an N=S bond. Notably, DMSO acts simultaneously as a solvent, oxidant, and substrate in this transformation. Moreover, TMSO is also well compatible with this reaction as a solvent. This protocol is an efficient method for enriching the scope of DMSO as a multipurpose fragment by incorporating DMSO into the final product as an intact molecule. Further studies aimed at elucidating the detailed reaction mechanism and exploiting this I2/PhI(OAc)2 co-promoted strategy are underway in our laboratory.

Experimental Section General Methods. Unless otherwise stated, all starting materials and catalysts were obtained from commercial suppliers and used without further purification. All new compounds were fully characterized. TLC analysis was performed using pre-coated glass plates. Column chromatography was performed using silica gel (200–300 mesh). IR spectra were recorded on a PerkinElmer PE-983 infrared spectrometer as KBr pellets with absorption in cm–1. 1H NMR spectra were recorded in DMSO-d6 or CDCl3 on 300/400/600 MHz NMR spectrometers, and resonances (δ) are given in parts per million relative to tetramethylsilane (internal standard). Data are reported as follows: chemical shift, multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, m = multiplet, q = quadruple), coupling constants (Hz), and integration.

spectra were recorded in DMSO-d6 or

CDCl3 on 75/100/150 MHz NMR spectrometers, and resonances (δ) are given in ppm. HRMS were obtained on a Bruker 7-T FT-ICR MS equipped with an electrospray source. The X-ray crystal structure determinations of 4a was obtained on a Bruker SMART APEX CCD system. Melting points were determined using an XT-4 apparatus and not corrected. Caution! NI3 can be generated even at room temperature, and it is an extremely dangerous molecule. Therefore we suggest proper protection at all scales. The temperature of the water bath of the rotary evaporator was 35 °C.

General Procedures for the Synthesis of Products 4 (4a as an example). A mixture of acetophenone 1a (0.5 mmol), 2a (1.5 mmol), PhI(OAc)2 (2.5 mmol) and iodine (0.25 mmol) in DMSO (4 mL), the mixture was stirred at 130 °C (oil bath) for 1 h. Then the mixture was quenched with saturation Na2S2O3 solution (50 mL), extracted with EtOAc (3 × 50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: petroleum ether/EtOAc = 2/1) to afford the product 4a.
