The direct and selective α-mono-bromination of alkyl sulfones was achieved through base-mediated electrophilic halogenation. The appropriate combination of solvent and electrophilic bromine source was found to be critical to control the nature of the products formed, where reagent-solvent halogen bonding is proposed to control the selectivity via alteration of the effective size of the electrophilic bromine source. Conversely, the α,α-di-brominated sulfones were selectively obtained in good yields following polyhalogenation followed by selective de-halogenation during workup. Both procedures can be applied on gram scale, and the mono-halogenation was successfully extended to the fully selective α-chlorination, α-iodination and α-fluorination of alkyl sulfones.

The halogenation of β-ketosulfones such as α-methylsulfonylacetophenone (1) and benzenesulfonylacetone (10) can be effected with sulfuryl chloride or pyridinium bromide perbromide.Regiochemical control can be achieved by control of stoichiometry and/or the reaction conditions.Detailed 1H and 13C nmr, and mass spectra are recorded for a series of halogenated β-ketosulfones, together with structures by X-ray crystallography for 1, 2-chloro-2-methylsulfonyl-1-phenylethanone (2), chloromethyl methyl sulfone (4), and α-chloroacetophenone (21).Results from these studies are used to suggest a reason for the difficulty associated with substitution reactions of α-halosulfones.
