โฆ Synopsis
The synthesis and reactivity of bis-g-substituted and unsubstituted propargylic sulfonium and selenonium salts under various basic conditions have been investigated. While the former compounds reacted only by [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the corresponding sulfur ylides, the latter salts exhibited a wider range of reactivity and showed potent DNA-cleaving properties.

The tandem sulfonium ylide formation-[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement reaction of chiral non-racemic secondary allylic sulfides, (E)-9 and (Z)-10, is found to proceed with high diastereocontrol. The C-5 stereocenter bearing the sulfide group is essential for high diastereoselectivity in the reaction.
Catalytic asymmetric [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of sulfur ylides generated from aryldiazoacetates and propargyl sulfides with a number of chiral Rh(II) and Cu(I) catalysts have been investigated and moderately high enantioselectivities (up to 81% ee) have been achieved.
