Peptide modification is an essential yet flexible synthetic concept for screening targets efficiently and optimizing lead structures in the application of naturally occurring peptides as pharmaceuticals.[1, 2] The introduction of side chains directly to a peptide backbone is a powerful method for preparing nonnatural peptides. The achiral glycine subunit has generally been used for this purpose [3] and glycine enolates,[4±8] radicals,[9±11] and glycine cation equivalents [12, 13] have been exabsorption in the membrane. The active Pyc site was reported to be an efficient catalyst for the ORR,[3b, 7] and hence, the purging O2 is essential for the formation of H2O2 during the reaction. The control experiment in pure H2O2 gave only about 47% conversion with poor selectivity (Table 1). However, the assistance of Pyc and [Ru (bpy) 3] 2þ in the SOR was supported by the indirect electrochemical studies mentioned earlier. The efficiency of the SOR was then evaluated by putting a 4.5 î 2 cm j NPycxÀRu (bpy) j in a mixture of CH3CN (30 mL), H2O (40 mL), and 17 mm RSCH3(R ¼ Ph, PhCOCH3, and PhOCH3) at pH 1, with constant purging of O2 under illumination (500 W halogen lamp) for 3 h. The products were analyzed simply by evaporation of the solution of the separated reaction product in CHCl3 with a rotaryvacuum system. All reactions gave a single product of sulfoxide (that is, no sulfone was observed on the TLC plate and was further confirmed by NMR and mass spectroscopic studies) in> 90% yield. The high selectivity of the current approach was clearly demonstrated. Finally, three repeated experiments were performed with PhSCH3 to test the recyclability of the j NPycxÀRu (bpy) j system, and almost the same yield was observed.In conclusion, we have demonstrated a clean and highly selective photochemical oxidation of sulfide to sulfoxide on a novel heterogeonous multicomponent nafion membrane containing a Pyc catalyst and a [Ru (bpy) 3] 2þ photosensitizer. The high sulfoxide selectivity, lack of pollution, ease of product separation, and recyclable nature of the muticomponent membrane has a clear advantage over classical approaches. Further investigations are currently underway to expand the scope of this reaction to sulfide compounds containing more complicated organic structures and to a macroscale synthesis.
