Tertiary cyclopropanols undergo ring-opening oxidative sulfonylation to afford γ-keto sulfones when reacting with sulfinate salts in the presence of a copper(ii) acetate catalyst and an oxidant (tert-butyl hydroperoxide or atmospheric oxygen). Various fluoroalkyl, aryl and alkyl sulfinate salts are successfully employed as sulfonylation reagents, affording the corresponding sulfones in up to 94% yields. The experimental protocol is mild and tolerates a number of functionalities in the cyclopropanol substrate. The reaction proceeds via a one-pot oxidation-Michael addition mechanism and can serve as a useful addition to the existing methods for the preparation of γ-keto sulfones based on the sulfa-Michael reaction.

Allylic alcohols were exploited as synthetic precursors of γ-keto sulfones. The reaction involved the one-pot generation of α,β-enones in situ from the allylic alcohols by using a PdII–dioxygen catalytic system and subsequent sulfa-Michael addition in the presence of water. Importantly, water was identified as a sustainable substitute for a toxic copper salt to promote organosulfonyl addition. Diverse examples of aromatic and aliphatic γ-keto sulfones were prepared. Specially, Ar–X (X = Br, Cl) bonds were tolerated, which indicated a chemoselective catalytic system for the preparation of halogen-bearing γ-keto sulfones. This one-pot method does not require an acid, a base, or isolation of any intermediate. Control experiments indicated that the active catalyst of the first step also promoted the subsequent C–S bond-formation reaction. Water was found to accelerate the reaction rate and to be involved in the protonolysis of the σ-alkylpalladium complex, as corroborated by deuterium incorporation.

Base-catalysed addition of methanol to propargylic sulfones selectively gave β-ketosulfones whereas mercuric salts catalysed additions gave γ-ketosulfones.The latter process has been used to prepare one half of pyrenophorine.
