Popis: The synthesis of a range of novel α-sulfenyl-β-chloroenones from the corresponding α-sulfenylketones, via a NCS mediated chlorination cascade, is described. The scope of the reaction has been investigated and compounds bearing alkyl- and arylthio substituents have been synthesised. In most instances, the Z α-sulfenyl-β-chloroenones were formed as the major products, while variation of the substituent at the β-carbon position led to an alteration in stereoselectivity. Stille cross-coupling with the Z α-sulfenyl-β-chloroenones led to selective formation of Z sulfenyl chalcones, while the E α-sulfenyl-β-chloroenones did not react under the same conditions. Oxidation of the Z α-sulfenyl-β-chloroenones was followed by isomerisation, leading to the E α-sulfinyl-β-chloroenones. Stille cross-coupling with the E α-sulfinyl-β-chloroenones produced the E sulfinyl chalcones. Either the E or Z sulfinyl chalcones can be obtained by altering the sequence of oxidation and Stille cross-coupling.
