A novel metal-free sulfonylation of arenes with N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) toward the synthesis of diarylsulfones has been developed. The reaction represents a rare example of sulfonylation reaction using NFSI as an efficient sulfonyl donor and the first example of acid-mediated sulfonylation of unactivated arenes with NFSI via selective cleavage of S-N bonds. This protocol provides a concise approach for the construction of pharmaceutically and biologically important diarylsulfones. Applications in the functionalization of natural products (e.g., β-estradiol) and in the synthesis of a key intermediate to an inhibitor of farnesyl-protein transferase, as well as in the gram-scale synthesis of the EPAC2 antagonist, are demonstrated.

Studies to explore the catalytic activities of main-group elements are attractive. We report here our study of sulfonylation of bismuth reagents with sulfinates or SO2 surrogates. Under oxidative conditions, triarylbismuthines and sulfinates were transformed into diaryl sulfones. A transition-metal-like two-electron redox process at the Bi center was achieved in this reaction. Sulfur dioxide generated in situ can also replace sulfinates to deliver the corresponding symmetric diaryl sulfones. A rational mechanism for this reaction was also proposed that involves a Bi(III)-Bi(V) manifold.

A simple, eco-friendly and efficient method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl sulfones using heterogeneous copper fluorapatite (CuFAP)-catalysed coupling of aryl sulfonic acid and phenyl boronic acid has been developed with good to excellent yields without use of any ligand, base or co-catalyst. Broad substrate scope and gram scale operations are the important features of this method.
