The fungus Helminthosporium species NRRL 4671 has been used for the biotransformation of a series of phenyl alkyl sulfides with alkyl groups ranging from methyl to n-hexyl, and benzyl alkyl sulfides with alkyl groups from methyl to n-nonyl. Several 2-phenylethyl and 3-phenylpropyl sulfides have also been examined as substrates, together with cyclohexyl methyl sulfide and 1- and 2-naphthyl methyl sulfides. For the majority of substrates, sulfoxide formation occurred in moderate yield and with predominant (S) chirality at sulfur; lesser amounts of sulfone product were also obtained in some cases. The data so obtained have been used to define the preparatively useful limits of S-oxidation of phenyl alkyl sulfides and benzyl alkyl sulfides by biotransformation using Helminthosporium.
