A series of new pyridazinyl sulfoxides 3a~e and pyridazinyl sulfones 4a were synthesized for development of candidates to retain anticancer activity. The utility of sulfoxides and sulfones in both laboratory and industrial practice was quickly recognized, and these species have been extensively utilized, including as pharmaceutical intermediates and anticancer agents. Alkylthiopyridazines 2a~e were prepared from the 3,6-dichloropyridazine using allylthiolation with alkyl mercaptan. Sulfides could be oxidized to sulfoxides or sulfones using 1~3 equivalents of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. The oxidation of sulfoxides to sulfones was also accomplished with aqueous hydrogen peroxide. Formation of 3a~e and 4a was undertaken with stirring using 35% hydrogen peroxide at room temperature in acetic acid for 18~72 h. Synthetic compounds were identified using NMR spectrum.

4-Acetyl-5,6-dihydro-2-methyl-1,4-thiazine carboxylic acid derivatives 24 were prepared by ring expansion of corresponding thiazolidine sulfoxides. Oxidation of 2-methyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-acetic acid derivatives 12 gave a mixture of cis and trans sulfoxides, 14 and 15. Assignments of the cis and trans sulfoxides were based on the $^1HNMR$ and IR spectroscopy and regioselectivity of deuterium exchange reaction. With PTSA as acid catalyst both the cis and trans sulfoxide, 14 and 15 were transformed via sulfenic acid 18 to dihydro-1,4-thiazine 24. However, under the neutral conditions (in DMF at $100^{\circ}C$) the trans sulfoxides 15 rearranged via sulfenic acid 21 to isomeric dihydrothiazines 27. The mechanism of formations of 24 and 27 is also discussed.

Photocatalytic electron transfer reactions of aryl benzyl sulfides using 2,4,6 triphenylpyrilium tetrafluoroborate ($TP^+BF_4^-$) resulted in the oxidation of these sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides and also in most cases in the C-S bond cleavage of them along with formation of aromatic aldehydes. In these reactions, the formation of sulfide radical cation has been proposed, which undergoes either oxidation to the corresponding sulfoxide or C-S bond cleavage to the formation of aromatic aldehydes. The further oxidation of sulfoxides to sulfones has not been observed. The influence of substrate structures on the reaction pathways as well as the role of $O_2$ in this respect is discussed.

Rearrangements of 1,3-oxathiolane sulfoxides 8 and 9 in the presence of base are described from a mechanistic viewpoint of sigmatropic and elimination reactions. In the presence of triethylamine the (Z)-sulfoxide 8 gave the corresponding thiolsulfinate 10 by way of dimerization of the sulfenic acid intermediate 2 at room temperature while the (E)-sulfoxide 9 was recovered even after refluxing in ethyl acetate by the reversal of the [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the sulfenic acid 4. Triethylamine promoted the developing charge separation in the transition state of the sigmatropic rearrangement of the (Z)-sulfoxide 8 to facilitate the ring opening to the sulfenic acid 2. The reason for more facile ring opening of the (Z)-sulfoxide 8 in comparison with the corresponding (E)-sulfoxide 9 is attributable to the differences in the reactivity of the hydrogen adjacent to the carbonyl group. Triethylamine was not strong base to deprotonate the carbonyl-activated methylene hydrogen of the (E)-sulfoxide 9 but enough to catalyze the sigmatropic process of the sulfoxides. The sulfenic acid 2 dimerized to the thiolsulfinate 10 while the sulfenic acid 4 proceeded the sigmatropic ring closure. In the presence of strong base such as potassium hydroxide, the elimination reaction was predominant over the sigmatropic rearrangement. In this reaction condition, both sulfoxides 8a and 9a gave a mixture of the disulfide 12, the isomeric disulfide 14, and the sulfinic acid 13. Under the strong alkaline condition an elimination of activated hydrogen from the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl group to furnish the sulfenic acid 2a and the isomeric sulfenic acid 18. The formation of the transient intermediate in the reaction was proven by isolation of the isomeric disulfide 14. The reactive entity was regarded as the sulfenic acid rather than sulfenate anion under these reaction conditions.

The stereochemistry of 1,3-thiazolidine sulfoxides 1 in which 3 chiral centres are present in a molecule was elucidated by deuterium exchange and trapping reactions. 3-Acetoxy-1,3-thiazolidines 5 was oxidized to 6 and 8, corresponding $\alpha$-cis 10, $\alpha$-trans 11, $\beta$ -cis 12, and $\beta$ -trans 13 isomers were separated from their diasteromeric mixtures. Sulfoxide 10 was isomerized to more thermodynamically stable isomer 13 under neutral conditions in refluxing benzene or toluene. The methyl hydrogens of 2-methyl group in the sulfoxide 13 and those of the sulfoxide 11 were deuterated by the deuterium incorporation reactions. The intermediate sulfenic acids 25 and 26 derived from the sulfoxides 10 and 12 via sigmatropic rearrangement were trapped by 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (2-MBT) to give disufides 27 and 28 respectively. However, the sulfoxides 11 and 13 were transformed to ring expansion product dihydro-1,4-thiazine 29 under the same reaction conditions. In the presence of acid catalyst, the sulfoxides 10, 11, and 12 were converted to dihydro-1,4-thiazine 29 through the sulfoxide 13 quantitatively. The mechanisms of isomerization of sulfoxides and the formation of 29 were also discussed.

Stable crystalline 1-Benzyl-4-aza-1-azonia-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane tribromide (BABOT), can be readily synthesized from the reaction of the corresponding bromide with $HNO_3$ and aqueous KBr. Selective Oxidation of a variety of dialkyl and alkyl Aryl sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides in high yield was achieved by this reagent in solution ($CH_3CN/H_2O$) and solvent free conditions. The reaction proceeds under neutral and mild conditions and can be carried out easily at room temperature with regeneration of BABOT. In this method purification of products is straightforward and no over oxidation to sulfone was noted.
