Sulfones as Synthetic Linchpins: Transition-Metal-Free sp3–sp2 and sp2–sp2 Cross-Couplings Between Geminal Bis(sulfones) and Organolithium Compounds

A valuable umpolung strategy that highlights the ambiphilic nature of the bis(phenylsulfonyl)methyl synthon and demonstrates its utility as a synthetic linchpin is reported. Although the bis(phenylsulfonyl)methyl group is typically introduced as an sp3-carbon nucleophile, it is demonstrated that it can also function as an effective sp2-carbon electrophile in the presence of organolithium nucleophiles. Alkyl- and aryllithiums couple with the central carbon of the bis(phenylsulfonyl)methyl unit to ultimately generate trisubstituted alkenes, comprising formal sp3–sp2 and sp2–sp2 cross-couplings between organolithium reagents and bis(sulfones). This process occurs almost instantaneously at ?78 °C in the absence of any transition metals. By developing this curious transformation, it has been demonstrated that bis(phenylsulfonyl)methane is a valuable synthetic linchpin, which can undergo two C?C bond-forming processes as an sp3-nucleophile, followed by a third C?C bond-forming reaction as an effective sp2-electrophile. This discovery significantly enhances the utility of this ubiquitous, but underutilized, linker group.

Conformational restriction of previously disclosed acyclic diphenylethyl)diphenylacetamides led to the discovery of several potent inhibitors of acyl CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT). cis-[2-(4- Hydroxyphenyl)-1-indanyl]diphenylacetamide (4a) was the most potent ACAT inhibitor identified (IC50 = 0.04 μM in an in vitro rat hepatic microsomal ACAT assay, ED50 = 0.72 mg/kg/day in cholesterol-fed hamsters).
