    Sodium-mediated Magnesiation of Thiophene and Tetrahydrothiophene: Structural Contrasts with Furan and Tetrahydrofuran Victoria L. Blair, Alan R. Kennedy, Robert E. Mulvey and Charles T. O’Hara* V. L. Blair, Dr. A. R. Kennedy, Prof. R. E. Mulvey, Dr. C. T. O’Hara WestCHEM, Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry University of Strathclyde Glasgow, G1 1XL (U.K.) Fax: (+44) 141 548 4822 E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Sulfur-containing heterocycles are currently attracting a great deal of interest in several diverse fields. For instance, substituted tetrahydrothiophenes,[1] have received considerable attention due to their extremely wide-ranging chemical and biological applications.[2] These include their use as potent α-glucosidase inhibitors,[3] as an inhibitor of copper amine [4] [5] oxidases and as selective A3 agonists and antagonists. In addition, they have been utilized in chemical transformations, such as catalytic asymmetric epoxidation, catalytic intramolecular cyclopropanation, and asymmetric metal catalysis hydrogenation.[6] From a nanochemical perspective, the adsorption chemistries and physical properties of various thiophenes and tetrahydrothiophenes on gold surfaces have recently come to the fore.[7] Polythiophenes are also key compounds in modern materials research, currently utilised in for example the fabrication of semi-conducting, fluorescent, and electronic and optoelectronic materials.[8]In this work, metallation (exchange of a hydrogen atom with a metal atom) of the parent heterocycles, tetrahydrothiophene (THT) and thiophene is considered. Metallation is one of the most fundamental reactions in modern day synthesis and is a key tool in the preparation of functionalised aromatic and heterocyclic compounds.

Received: 17 September 2018; Accepted: 11 October 2018; Published: 14 October 2018 Abstract: The sulfur-containing derivatives and their metabolites, regarded as ‘old devils of green’ chemistry, constitute a relevant class of air/water/soil contaminants in over-polluted world. In fact, some industrially-engineered solvents have become environmentally unfavorable. An attractive alternative to commonly used industrial liquids is sulfolane (C4H8SO2), an anthropogenic medium. The main objective of this paper is the comprehensive review focusing mainly on the state-of-the-art aspects of the sulfolane synthesis, application of sulfolane as an extractive solvent due to its ‘unique’ physicochemical properties as well as the potential of sulfolane to cause equipment corrosion and subsequent spills. The potential risk for groundwater contamination, danger for human health and ways of sulfolane biodegradation were briefly reviewed as well. Interestingly, the analysis performed on data stored in the Reaxys database revealed an alternating tendency of waxing and waning interest in sulfolane during the space of the last fifty years.

In this paper, a field pilot-scale ultraviolet (UV)/hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) system was investigated for treating sulfolane contaminated groundwater. Different groundwater, as well as different operational parameters such as influent sulfolane concentration, H2O2 dosage, and water flow rates, were studied. The results showed that a pilot-scale UV/H2O2 system can successfully treat sulfolane contaminated groundwater in the field, although the presence of iron and other groundwater limited the process efficiency. The lowest electrical energy per order of reduction for 3 1 treating sulfolane in groundwater by using the pilot-scale UV/H2O2 system was 1.4 kWh m− order− . The investigated sulfolane initial concentrations and the water flow rates did not impact the sulfolane degradation. The enhancement of sulfolane degradation in an open reservoir by adding ozone was not observed in this study.
