Abstract

A series of enantiopure crystalline aryl benzyl sulfoxides, bearing different substituents on both the aryl groups, were synthesized by an enantioselective oxidation of the corresponding sulfides. Structural investigations, achieved by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, allowed us to recognize the main assembling interactions. The same procedure was repeated for some corresponding fluorinated aryl benzyl sulfoxides. The synthesis of the enantiomers of a new fluorinated compound, which shows unusual structural patterns, prompted us to compare the structural motifs of the two families of sulfoxides (fluorinated and unfluorinated) and to investigate the changes due to the fluorine substitution. Some short contacts involving the fluorine atom were discussed in more details, taking into account the recent interest in these sometimes controversial interactions.
