Regiocontrolled synthesis of α-sulfonylmethyl o-nitrostyrenes via ZnI2-mediated sulfonylation and AgNO2/Pd(PPh3)4-promoted o-nitration

We report herein the AgNO2/Pd(PPh3)4-promoted regiocontrolled o-nitration of α-sulfonylmethylstyrenes in MeNO2 with good yields. The o-nitration process provides a series of sulfonyl o-nitrostyrenes. Substituted α-sulfonylmethylstyrenes were synthesized from ZnI2-mediated sulfonylation of substituted α-methylstyrenes and sodium sulfinates (RSO2Na) in MeCN with good to excellent yields. The structures of the key products were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. A plausible mechanism has been proposed herein.

Sulfonylative alkoxyhydroxylation of 2-arylpropenes

One-pot three-step sulfonylative alkoxyhydroxylation of 2-arylpropenes 1 affords oxygenated sulfonylcumenes 4 in moderate yields via a sequential route: (i) NBS-mediated allylic bromination of 2-arylpropenes 1 in CH2Cl2, (ii) sodium sulfinates 2-promoted nucleophilic substitution of the resulting styryl bromides in a co-solvent of alcohol and water, and (iii) V2O5/H2O2 mediated alkoxyhydroxylation of corresponding styryl sulfones 3 in alcohol. The synthetic route provides a highly effective protocol for the 1,2,3-tricarbofunctionalization of 2-arylpropenes 1 via two carbon-oxygen and one carbon-sulfur bond formations.

Iodine-Catalyzed Facile Approach to Sulfones Employing TosMIC as a Sulfonylating Agent

A novel iodine-catalyzed functionalization of a variety of olefins and alkynes and direct decarboxylative functionalization of cinnamic and propiolic acids with TosMIC to provide access to various vinyl, allyl, and β-iodo vinylsulfones is described. This simple, efficient, and environmentally benign approach employing inexpensive molecular iodine as a catalyst demonstrates a versatile protocol for the synthesis of highly valuable sulfones, rendering it attractive to both synthetic and medicinal chemistry.

Efficient synthesis of aliphatic sulfones by Mg mediated coupling reactions of sulfonyl chlorides and aliphatic halides

Sulfonyl chlorides were reduced to anhydrous sulfinate salts with magnesium under sonication. These sulfinates were alkylated to sulfones with alkyl chlorides in the presence of catalytic sodium iodide under sonication. A variety of aliphatic sulfones was efficiently prepared by this one-pot two-step procedure.

Visible-light induced oxidant-free oxidative cross-coupling for constructing allylic sulfones from olefins and sulfinic acids

An oxidant-free dehydrogenative sulfonylation of α-methyl-styrene derivatives was developed for the construction of allylic sulfones by using eosin Y as a photosensitizer in conjunction with a cobaloxime catalyst. The process features a low-cost metal catalyst and atom economy, which provides an appealing strategy for future synthetic chemistry.

Tetrabutylammonium iodide catalyzed allylic sulfonylation of α-methyl styrene derivatives with sulfonylhydrazides

Sulfonyl radicals generated from sulfonylhydrazides by the Bu 4NI-tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) catalysis system underwent addition to a variety of α-methyl styrene derivatives to give the corresponding allylic sulfones. This selective allylic sulfonylation is metal-free, operationally simple, and environmentally friendly. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012..
