Preparation of diversely substituted β-functionalised styrenes by microwave-assisted olefin cross-metathesis (CM) is described. This method can be also employed in the synthesis of β-deuterated α,β-unsaturated sulfones from inexpensive allylbenzenes, though unprecedented one-pot isomerisation/deuteration/cross-metathesis sequence. One of such obtained CM products has been utilised in a new scalable synthesis of Apremilast (6), a potent and orally active phosphodiesterase 4 and tumour necrosis factor-α inhibitor. The same strategy was used in synthesis of an optical antipode of 6, ent-Apremilast.

An unexpected annulation among 2-aminobenzyl alcohols, benzaldehydes, and DMSO to quinolines has been disclosed. For the reported annulation between 2-aminobenzyl alcohols and benzaldehydes, the change of the solvent from toluene to DMSO led to the change of the product from the diheteroatomic cyclic benzoxazines to monoheteroatomic cyclic quinolines. This annulation can be used to synthesize regioselectively different substituted quinolines by the choice of different 2-amino alcohols, aldehydes, and sulfoxides as substrates. Interestingly, introducing substituent groups to the α-position of sulfoxides resulted in the interchange of the positions between benzaldehydes and sulfoxides in the product quinolines. On the basis of the control experiments and literatures, a plausible mechanism for this annulation was proposed.

A protocol for the synthesis of terminal N-vinylazoles from aromatic aldehydes, DMSO, and azoles has been reported. In this strategy, DMSO was involved in the construction of the C=C bond as a terminal carbon synthon. Both aromatic aldehydes and azoles could be well tolerated and give the corresponding terminal N-vinylazoles in 52–91% yields. Based on preliminary experiments, a plausible mechanism is proposed.

Photocatalyst-free visible-light-mediated reactions, based on the presence of a visible-light-absorbing functional group in the starting material itself in order to exclude the often costly, hazardous, degradable and difficult to remove or recover photoredox catalysts, have been gaining momentum recently. We have employed this approach to develop a denitrative photocatalyst-free visible-light-mediated protocol for the arylation/sulfonylation of β-nitrostyrenes employing arylazo sulfones (bench-stable photolabile compounds) in a switchable solvent-controlled manner. Arylazo sulfones served as the aryl and sulfonyl radical precursors under blue LED irradiation for the synthesis oftrans-stilbenes and (E)-vinyl sulfones in CH3CN and dioxane/H2O 2?:?1, respectively. The absence of any metal, photocatalyst and additive; excellent selectivity (E-stereochemistry) and solvent-switchability; and the use of visible light and ambient temperature are the prime assets of the developed method. Moreover, we report the first photocatalyst-free visible light-driven route to synthesize stilbenes and vinyl sulfones from readily available β-nitrostyrenes.

The development of first-row-transition-metal catalysts that can match with the reactivities of the noble metals is considered to be challenging yet very much a desirable goal in homogeneous catalysis. It has become even more fascinating to develop processes where these metals show a unique reactivity and selectivity than their higher congeners. Herein, we report on the catalytic activity of a pincer complex of the abundant earth metal manganese for an unprecedented acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alkyl sulfones with alcohols. Thus, highly functionalized vinyl sulfones were obtained in moderate to good yields. Both benzylic and aliphatic alcohols could be utilized, and several functional groups including bromides and iodides are tolerated under the reaction conditions. The reaction is environmentally benign, producing dihydrogen and water as byproducts. Preliminary mechanistic experiments involving kinetic, deuterium-labeling, and NMR experiments were performed.

A three-component cross-coupling protocol of boronic acid, sodium metabisulfite, and dimethyl carbonate was developed for the construction of significant functional methyl sulfones, in which introduction of sulfur dioxide at the last stage was successfully achieved in one step. Inorganic sodium metabisulfite was used as an eco-friendly sulfur dioxide source. Green dimethyl carbonate was employed as methyl reagent in this transformation. Diverse functional methyl sulfones were obtained from various readily available boronic acids. Notably, the last-stage modification of pharmaceuticals and the synthesis of Firocoxib were efficiently established through this strategy.

A practical metal-free procedure for the synthesis of (E)-vinyl sulfones has been developed through the coupling of β-nitrostyrenes with sodium sulfinates under microwave irradiation. This methodology provides a convenient and efficient approach to various (E)-vinyl sulfones from readily available starting materials with excellent regioselectivity. The present oxidative reaction involves an efficient denitrative radical cross-coupling of β-nitrostyrenes with sodium sulfinates via using AcOH as an additive.
