Transformation of Chiral Thioethers
摘要
The transformation of thioethers involves chemical reactions that alter the structure and properties of these sulfur-containing organic compounds. Thioethers, also known as sulfides, are compounds where a sulfur atom is bonded to two alkyl or aryl groups (R–S–R’). The transformation of thioethers plays a vital role in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and materials science because of the unique properties sulfur adds to molecules. One common transformation of thioethers is their oxidation to sulfoxides or sulfones, which can produce new materials or biologically active compounds. The sulfur atom in thioethers is highly reactive, enabling it to undergo various chemical reactions that modify its properties [3, 21].
