Enantioselective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides catalysed by bacterial cyclohexanone monooxygenases

This review article briefly introduces the applications of bacterial cyclohexanone monooxygenases to the enantioselective oxidations of organic sulfur compounds to sulfoxides. High enantioselectivities are observed in the sulfoxidation of alkyl aryl sulfides, disulfides, dialkyl sulfides, cyclic and acyclic 1,3-dithioacetals. The oxidation of alkyl aryl sulfides with flavin dependent microorganisms extends the synthetic interest of this class of enzymes.

Enantioselective oxidation of sulfides catalyzed by iron complexes of chiral “twin coronet” porphyrins

Ferric porphyrins bearing chiral binaphthalene moieties on their both faces catalyze asymmetric oxidation of sulfides with iodosobenzene as an oxidant in moderate to good optical and chemical yields. Enantiomeric excesses (e.e.) were markedly improved in 2–3 times by the addition of 1-methylimidazole. The mechanism of oxidation and chiral induction are discussed.
