III. Sulfur ylides and the Corey-Chaykovsky reaction
The example of stabilized ylides (additional anion-stabilizing group): trans-diastereoselectivity
Cross-over experiments:
Either anti- or syn-sulfonium salt furnishes only the trans-epoxide containing the
more reactive aldehyde (p-NO2C6H4)
→ both syn- and anti-betaine are formed reversibly
Trans-selectivity because barrier to torsional rotation in anti-betaine smaller
20
Aggarwal V.; Chem. Commun. 2003, 2644
III. Sulfur ylides and the Corey-Chaykovsky reaction
Semi-stabilized ylides: trans-diastereoselectivity
Cross-over experiments:
Anti-betaine reacted with a more reactive aldehyde: no incorporation of this aldehyde in the
final epoxide
With syn-betaine: complete incorporation of the more reactive aldehyde
→ Anti-betaine irreversibly formed
→ Syn-betaine reversibly formed
21

4)
Formation of a single diastereoisomeric sulfonium ylide
High level of control of ylide conformation
High level of control in face selectivity of the ylide
Non-reversibility of the anti-betaine formation
22
Aggarwal V.; Chem. Commun. 2003, 2644
III. Sulfur ylides and the Corey-Chaykovsky reaction
Control of enantioselectivity: effect of protic solvents
Aggarwal
If low enantioselectivity:
Protic solvents or addition of Li cations makes the reaction less reversible
(if reversibility of betaine formation is the cause)
If low diastereoselectivity:
Aprotic solvents and avoidance of species capable of solvating alkoxides
(increase of rotation barrier so reaction more reversible – displacement equilibrium to left)

VI. Sulfur in the food industry
About 10% of the volatile components detected in foods and beverages contain sulfur
Volatile organic sulfur compounds: extremely low odour threshold
33
→ highly important for flavours and aromas
Goeke A.; Sulfur reports 2002, 23, 3, 243
VI. Sulfur in the food industry
The Maillard reactions (1911)
▫ chemical reactions occuring while cooking food
▫ amino acids + sugars form a brownish mixture when heated to high temperature
▫ responsible for many colors and flavors in foods:
- the browning of various meats like steak
- toasted bread, burnished crust of brioche, cakes, yeast, biscuits
- French fries, fried onions
- malted barley (whiskey, beer)
- dried or condensed milk (dulce de leche)
- maple syrup
- roasted coffee
▫ importance for the food industry in order to control the aspect, the taste and the
conservation of food (incorrect preparation or storage produce off-flavours)
34
VI. Sulfur in the food industry
Role of cysteine and cysteine-S conjugates as odour precursors
Maillard reaction: cysteine + sugars (meat flavour…)
Roast meat
Popcorn
Basmati rice
Cheddar cheese: methanethiol, hydrogen sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide
→ products of the catabolism of methionine and cysteine by bacteria
35
Starkenmann C.; Flavour Fragr. J. 2008, 23, 369
VI. Sulfur in the food industry
Role of cysteine and cysteine-S conjugates as odour precursors
Wine and passion fruit
Wine treated with copper sulfate → « boxtree » and « tropical fruit » odours disappeared
Passion fruit aroma
Aroma of young botrytized sweet wines
Cysteinylated precursors to typical aroma of Sauvignon wines
36
Starkenmann C.; Flavour Fragr. J. 2008, 23, 369
VI. Sulfur in the food industry
Sulfur compounds in wine
→ 5 families: thiols, sulfides, polysulfides, thioesters, heterocycles
→ 2 categories: boiling point below or above 90 °C (volatile compounds or less)
→ Produced by 2 main processes:
enzymatic:
degradation of sulfur-containing amino-acids
fermentation
metabolism of sulfur-containing pesticides
non-enzymatic: photochemical, thermal, chemical reactions during
winemaking and storage
→ Role of SO2: antibiotic and antioxydant (« contains sulfites »; up to 10mg/L)
→ Reactions most studied: those catalyzed by light and producing unpleasant flavours
called « light tastes » or « reduced tastes »

In general, aromatic contributions of the above compounds considered detrimental
to wine quality
→ cabbage, garlic, onion, rubber…

→ strawberry
→ box tree
→ passion fruit

VIII. Sulfur in perfumes
- Sulfur-containing compounds: some of the strongest odorants
- Perception of odor often depends on:
→ chemical, diastereo- and enantio-purity
→ concentration (unpleasent odor when smelled at high concentration)
▫ ability to trigger different receptor sites in the olfactory bulb of the nose
The cassis/cat example: 4-mercapto-4-methylpentanone 29
> 0.001%: obnoxious tom-cat urine off-odor
(0.4% impurity in paint)
< 0.00001%: natural crisp cassis note
(Sauvignon wines)
Also « Baie rouge » scent (raspberry), box tree, broom, green tea, grapefruit
43

Goeke A.; Sulfur reports 2002, 23, 3, 243
VIII. Sulfur in perfumes
Musk odors
- macrocyclic lactones and ketones: core structures found in natural isolates (muscone,
ambrettolide, pentadecanolide)
- quality of musk odor and intensity depends on:
▫ a subtle equilibrium of the ring size and geometry with hydrophobic parts and
hydrogen-bond acceptors
▫ position of sulfur atom / carbonyls (6.9 Å between acceptor sides)
even-nb ring: 1,7-distance
51
odd-nb ring: 1,6-distance
Goeke A.; Sulfur reports 2002, 23, 3, 243
VIII. Sulfur in perfumes
Sweet scents
- sweet, caramel-like odor
- generally cyclic dicarbonyl molecule
- planar enol-carbonyl acts as a H-donor/H-acceptor pair of 3 Å distance at the olfactory
receptor site
Maltol
No significant change
Bark of larch trees
Roasted barley
Pines, wines
Furaneol®
Only minor changes
→ Structure of bifunctional unit important (not its chemical character: O vs S)
