Novel approaches for N- and O-desulfonylation under room temperature (rt) and transition-metal-free conditions have been developed. The first methodology involves the transformation of a variety of N-sulfonyl heterocycles and phenyl benzenesulfonates to the corresponding desulfonylated products in good to excellent yields using only KOtBu in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at rt. Alternately, a visible light method has been used for deprotection of N-methyl-N-arylsulfonamides with Hantzsch ester (HE) anion serving as the visible-light-absorbing reagent and electron and hydrogen atom donor to promote the desulfonylation reaction. The HE anion can be easily prepared in situ by reaction of the corresponding HE with KOtBu in DMSO at rt. Both protocols were further explored in terms of synthetic scope as well as mechanistic aspects to rationalize key features of desulfonylation processes. Furthermore, the HE anion induces reductive dehalogenation reaction of aryl halides under visible light irradiation.

Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed domino reactions of 1,2-dihalobenzenes and 2-haloaryl arenesulfonates with hindered Grignard reagents to form substituted fluorenes, which are believed to occur through palladium associated aryne intermediates, are described. Such palladium associated aryne reaction pathway was found to be favored by omitting the use of phosphine and N-heterocyclic carbene ligands for palladium catalysts and with better leaving groups. Our study suggested that Pd(leaving group)X associated arynes should be formed first and the sp3 C-H activation preferentially occurred at benzylic C-(1°)H bonds. The work described here provides a high yield, one-step access to substituted fluorenes from readily available 1,2-dihalobenzenes and 2-haloaryl arenesulfonates and hindered Grignard reagents, and this substituted fluorene-making method may find applications in the preparation of substituted fluorene-containing molecules including polymers.
