Nucleophilic activation of the sulfur S8 cyclic form as a green chemistry tool

  • Review
  • Published:
Russian Chemical Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

The review summarizes data on reactions with participation of the elemental cyclic form of sulfur S8, the key step of which is activation the eight-membered cycle S8 by its opening under the action of various nucleophiles. This approach of involving sulfur in synthetic processes is promising from the point of view of green chemistry, as it is an alternative to the energy-intensive method of thermal treatment with the formation of sulfur diradicals. Special attention is paid to the creation of reactive systems by the reaction of elemental sulfur with dimethyl phosphate ionic liquids.

She carried out fundamental research on the kinetics and mechanism of polymerization and copolymerization of elemental phosphorus and sulfur in various media with initiation of the processes by high-energy radiation and microwave radiation; she proposed a methodology for the one-stage synthesis of stabilized forms of polymeric phosphorus, which exhibit stereospecific reactivity in organophosphorus syntheses and have high thermal and chemical stability; she developed methodology for determining the chemical footprint to assess the impact of chemicals on the environment and humans. N. P. Tarasova is a Honored Worker of the Higher School of the Russian Federation, Chairholder of the UNESCO Chair in Green Chemistry for Sustainable Development, member of the Bureau of the Division of Chemistry and Materials Sciences of RAS, a number of scientific councils of the RAS, Chair of the National Committee of Russian Chemists, vice-president of the Russian Chemical Society named after D. I. Mendeleev, a titular member of IUPAC. She was awarded the Order of the Badge of Honor, the medal “For Services to the Fatherland” II degree. She is a honorary doctor of Bowling Green State University (USA), Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, a member of the editorial boards of the journals Russian Chemical Reviews, Pure and Applied Chemistry, Green Chemistry, etc.
