Redox-Neutral Organometallic Elementary Steps at Bismuth: Catalytic Synthesis of Aryl Sulfonyl Fluorides

A Bi-catalyzed synthesis of sulfonyl fluorides from the corresponding (hetero)aryl boronic acids is presented. We demonstrate that the organobismuth(III) catalysts bearing a bis-aryl sulfone ligand backbone revolve through different canonical organometallic steps within the catalytic cycle without modifying the oxidation state. All steps have been validated, including the catalytic insertion of SO2 into Bi-C bonds, leading to a structurally unique O-bound bismuth sulfinate complex. The catalytic protocol affords excellent yields for a wide range of aryl and heteroaryl boronic acids, displaying a wide functional group tolerance.

Desulfonative Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling of Sulfonyl Fluorides

Sulfonyl fluorides have emerged as powerful “click” electrophiles to access sulfonylated derivatives. Yet, they are relatively inert towards C?C bond forming transformations, notably under transition-metal catalysis. Here, we describe conditions under which aryl sulfonyl fluorides act as electrophiles for the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling. This desulfonative cross-coupling occurs selectively in the absence of base and, unusually, even in the presence of strong acids. Divergent one-step syntheses of two analogues of bioactive compounds showcase the expanded reactivity of sulfonyl fluorides to encompass both S?Nu and C?C bond formation. Mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations suggest oxidative addition occurs at the C?S bond followed by desulfonation to form a Pd-F intermediate that facilitates transmetalation.

Metal-Free Visible-Light Synthesis of Arylsulfonyl Fluorides: Scope and Mechanism

The first metal-free procedure for the synthesis of arylsulfonyl fluorides is reported. Under organo-photoredox conditions, aryl diazonium salts react with a readily available SO2 source (DABSO) to afford the desired product through simple nucleophilic fluorination. The reaction tolerates the presence of both electron-rich and -poor aryls and demonstrated a broad functional group tolerance. To shed the light on the reaction mechanism, several experimental techniques were combined, including fluorescence, NMR, and EPR spectroscopy as well as DFT calculations.

Arenesulfonyl Fluoride Synthesis via Copper-Catalyzed Fluorosulfonylation of Arenediazonium Salts

We report herein a general and practical copper-catalyzed fluorosulfonylation reaction of a wide range of abundant arenediazonium salts to smoothly prepare various arenesulfonyl fluorides using the 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-bis(sulfur dioxide) adduct as a convenient sulfonyl source in combination with KHF2 as an ideal fluorine source and without the need for additional oxidants. Interestingly, the electronic character of the arene ring in the starting arenediazonium salts has a significant impact on the reaction mechanistic pathway.

Copper-free Sandmeyer-type Reaction for the Synthesis of Sulfonyl Fluorides

A copper-free Sandmeyer-type fluorosulfonylation reaction is reported. Utilizing Na2S2O5 and Selectfluor as the sulfur dioxide and fluorine sources, respectively, aryldiazonium salts were transformed into sulfonyl fluorides. The one-pot direct synthesis of sulfonyl fluorides from aromatic amines was also realized via in situ diazotization. The practicality of this method was demonstrated by the broad functional group tolerance, gram-scale synthesis, and late-stage fluorosulfonylation of natural products and pharmaceuticals.

Fluorosulfonylation of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates with Na2S2O5 and N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide

A transition-metal-free Sandmeyer-type fluorosulfonylation reaction has been achieved by the three-component reaction of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates, Na2S2O5, and N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI). The reaction proceeds through a radical tandem process, affording various arenesulfonyl fluorides in moderate to high yields. This protocol not only provides a complement to the previous fluorosulfonylation reactions, but also extends the applications of Sandmeyer reaction.

Arenesulfonyl Fluoride Synthesis via Copper-free Sandmeyer-type Fluorosulfonylation of Arenediazonium Salts

The limited availability of highly valuable arenesulfonyl fluorides seriously hinders their further application in many research fields including medicinal chemistry and chemical biological, organic synthesis, polymer preparation, etc. We report herein a mild and efficient copper-free Sandmeyer-type fluorosulfonylation reaction of various arenediazonium salts to prepare valuable arenesulfonyl fluorides using K2S2O5 as both a reductant and a practical sulfonyl source in combination with N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide as an effective fluorine source. This methodology provides an attractive route to diverse important arenesulfonyl fluorides given the overall practicality and scope.

STUDIEN ZUM VORGANG DER WASSERSTOFFUEBERTRAGUNG.61. Chemische Reaktivitaet und Halbstufenpotential Vergleichende Versuche am Beispiel einiger Arylsulfonsaeurederivate

In arylsulfonyl halides, the half-wave potentials of the corresponding chlorides and fluorides differ by more than 1000 mV, the fluoride being more negative; the influence of para-substituents is small for the chlorides, large for the fluorides.In agreement with the half-wave potentials, arylsulfonyl chlorides are considerably more reactive chemically than the corresponding fluorides.The O-selectivity found for P(O)F compounds is not observed in arylsulfonyl fluorides.Studies of competitive ester formation using primary and secondary alcohols and various arylsulfonyl chlorides yielded no clear analogy to the half-wave potentials.The primary alcohol is always sulfonated in preference to the secondary alcohol, whether the hydroxy functions are present in different molecules or the same molecule.In the latter case, the secondary hydroxyl function is then attacked in a further step by a second, different, arylsulfonyl chloride, giving the compounds 4-8.The further electroreduction of these diesters may be carried out in high yields, giving selective fission of one ester linkage only (that with the more positive potential) provided the difference in the half-wave potentials of the different ester linkages is sufficiently large.In the electroreductive fission the monosulfinic acid and the corresponding alcohol are liberated (see table II).In the competition reaction between phenol and 1:1 mixtures of tosyl chloride (A) and p-carboxyethyl-benzenesulfonyl chloride (B), the chloride with the more positive potential (B), E1/2=72 mV reacts quicker by a factor of 2.5.In competitive Finkelstein reactions, the selectivity was 1:11 at a difference in half-wave potentials of 760 mV (table IV).Arylsulfonates with free secondary alcohol functions may be oxidized smoothly and in high yield to the corresponding ketone using Na2Cr2O7 (3), without effecting the sulfonate linkage.The alkali hydrolysis of n-hexyl para-substituted arylsulfonates follows the Hammett relation but shows a lesser selectivity than was observed in the electroreductive fission of the same esters at the required potentials.Tables VI, VII and VIII concentrate on the preparative importance of the potential-controlled electroreductive fission of aliphatic and aromatic arylsulfonates.The corresponding hydroxy compounds are liberated in yields of up to over 90percent: N-alkyl- and N-aryl arylsulfonamides give analogous results.
