- Sodium Dithionite-Mediated Decarboxylative Sulfonylation: Facile Access to Tertiary Sulfones
-
A straightforward multicomponent decarboxylative cross coupling of redox-active esters (N-hydroxyphthalimide ester), sodium dithionite, and electrophiles was established to construct sterically bulky sulfones. The inorganic salt sodium dithionite not only served as the sulfur dioxide source, but also acted as an efficient radical initiator for the decarboxylation. Notably, diverse naturally abundant carboxylic acids and artificially prepared carboxyl-containing drugs with multiple heteroatoms and sensitive functional groups successfully underwent this decarboxylative sulfonylation to provide sterically bulky tertiary sulfones. Mechanistic studies further demonstrated that decarboxylation was the rate-determining step and occurred via a single-electron transfer (SET) process with the assistance of sodium dithionite.

- Highly atom-economic, catalyst- and solvent-free oxidation of sulfides into sulfones using 30% aqueous H2O2
-
Highly atom-efficient oxidation of sulfides into sulfones under solvent- and catalyst-free reaction conditions using a 30% aqueous solution of H 2O2 at 75 °C is reported. A structurally diverse set of phenyl alkyl-, phenyl benzyl-, benzyl alkyl-, dialkyl-, heteroaryl alkyl- and cyclic sulfides were transformed into sulfones regardless of the aggregate state and electronic nature of the substituents. In spite of the heterogeneous reaction mixtures throughout the work, no difficulties with stirring and reaction progress were noted. In numerous cases, only 10 mol% excess of H 2O2 was used, thus contributing considerably to the high atom economy of the process. Some solid substrates required a variable excess of hydrogen peroxide; however, the reactions were performed strictly without organic solvents. The transformation was demonstrated to be amenable for scale-up with both liquid and solid sulfides. In addition, isolation and purification of the crude products can be simply done with only filtration and crystallization.
