Sulfonylation of Aryl Halides by Visible Light/Copper Catalysis

An efficient visible-light-assisted, copper-catalyzed sulfonylation of aryl halides with sulfinates is reported. In our protocol, a single ligand CuI photocatalyst formed in situ was used in the photocatalytic transformation. Diverse organosulfones were obtained in moderate to good yields. This strategy demonstrates a promising approach toward the synthesis of diverse and useful organosulfones.

Ceramic boron carbonitrides for unlocking organic halides with visible light

Photochemistry provides a sustainable pathway for organic transformations by inducing radical intermediates from substrates through electron transfer process. However, progress is limited by heterogeneous photocatalysts that are required to be efficient, stable, and inexpensive for long-term operation with easy recyclability and product separation. Here, we report that boron carbonitride (BCN) ceramics are such a system and can reduce organic halides, including (het)aryl and alkyl halides, with visible light irradiation. Cross-coupling of halides to afford new C-H, C-C, and C-S bonds can proceed at ambient reaction conditions. Hydrogen, (het)aryl, and sulfonyl groups were introduced into the arenes and heteroarenes at the designed positions by means of mesolytic C-X (carbon-halogen) bond cleavage in the absence of any metal-based catalysts or ligands. BCN can be used not only for half reactions, like reduction reactions with a sacrificial agent, but also redox reactions through oxidative and reductive interfacial electron transfer. The BCN photocatalyst shows tolerance to different substituents and conserved activity after five recycles. The apparent metal-free system opens new opportunities for a wide range of organic catalysts using light energy and sustainable materials, which are metal-free, inexpensive and stable.

Visible-light-driven electron donor-acceptor complex induced sulfonylation of diazonium salts with sulfinates

This work reports an efficient sulfonylation reaction enabled by a visible-light-induced radical coupling reaction between phenyl/heterocyclic diazonium salts and sulfinates. Mechanistic experiments disclosed the formation of a versatile electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex. This transformation is characterized by an easy operational procedure under mild conditions which avoids transition metals, ligands, catalysts, and oxidants.

Primary Sulfonamide Functionalization via Sulfonyl Pyrroles: Seeing the N?Ts Bond in a Different Light

Despite common occurrence in molecules of value, methods for transforming sulfonamides are distinctly lacking. Here we introduce easy-to-access sulfonyl pyrroles as synthetic linchpins for sulfonamide functionalization. The versatility of the sulfonyl pyrrole unit is shown by generating a variety of products through chemical, electrochemical and photochemical pathways. Preliminary results on the direct functionalization of primary sulfonamides are also provided, which may lead to new modes of activation.

Catalyst-free arylation of sulfonamidesviavisible light-mediated deamination

A novel arylation of sulfonamides with boronic acids to afford numerous diaryl sulfonesviaa visible light-mediated N-S bond cleavage other than the typical transition-metal-catalyzed C(O)-N bond activation is described. This methodology, which represents the first catalyst-free protocol for the sulfonylation of boronic acids, is characterized by its simple reaction conditions, good functional group tolerance and high efficiency. Several successful examples for the late-stage functionalization of diverse sulfonamides indicate the high potential utility of this method in pharmaceutical science and organic synthesis.

Method for synthesizing sulfone compounds under photocatalysis condition

The invention belongs to the technical field of compound preparation, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing sulfone compounds under a photocatalysis condition. Aromatic hydrazine and sulfinate are used as raw materials, and under the action of alkali and a solvent, a sulfone compound is generated through reaction under the condition of air or oxygen under the illumination of visible light. According to the method disclosed by the invention, aryl hydrazine is used as an arylation reagent, polyacid salt is used as a catalyst or an organic photosensitizer is used as a catalyst, and the sulfones compound can be efficiently synthesized by coupling with sulfinate under the condition of room temperature through visible light irradiation. The method has good substrate universalityand relatively mild reaction conditions, is not only a substitute for synthesizing sulfone compounds by coupling from simple substrates reported at present, but also broadens the new application of the polyacid salt in the field of photocatalysis.

Hantzsch Ester as a Visible-Light Photoredox Catalyst for Transition-Metal-Free Coupling of Arylhalides and Arylsulfinates

Diethyl 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate (HEH) has been utilized as a visible-light photoredox catalyst for the cross coupling of arylhalides and arylsulfinates without transition metal, sacrificial agent, and mediator. This method is compatible with various functional groups and provides diaryl sulfones in good to high yields. Mechanistic studies indicate that this reaction undergoes the stepwise light irradiation of HE?, single electron transfer (SET) in donor–acceptor complex (DAC) from *HE? to arylhalide, trapping of aryl radical with sulfinate, and SET oxidation of sulfone radical anion by HE. to sulfone by the DAC method.

Nano copper catalyzed synthesis of symmetrical/unsymmetrical sulfones from aryl/alkyl halides and p-toluenesulfonylmethylisocyanide: TosMIC as a tosyl source

A magnetically induced nano copper-catalyzed efficient and mild route for the synthesis of diaryl and alkyl/aryl sulfones from aryl/alkyl halides and tosylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) has been developed. A variety of aryl and alkyl sulfones have been obtained in very good to excellent yields. Sulfones containing molecules have medicinal relevance as they are known to possess various activities such as antifungal, anti-HIV, antitumor, and anticancer. Herein, a magnetically induced nano copper-catalyzed efficient and mild route for the synthesis of biaryl and alkyl/aryl sulfones from aryl/alkyl halides and tosylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) has been developed. A variety of aryl and alkyl sulfones have been obtained in very good to excellent yields. In this newly developed protocol TosMIC acts as sulfonyl source. The catalyst can magnetically be recovered and recycled five times without significant loss in activity.

Organic photoredox catalysis enabled cross-coupling of arenediazonium and sulfinate salts: Synthesis of (un)symmetrical diaryl/alkyl aryl sulfones

We disclose herein the first transition-metal-and external oxidant/reductant-free visible-light-mediated synthesis of (un)symmetrical diaryl/alkyl aryl sulfones from arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates and sodium sulfinates using eosin Y as an organic photoredox catalyst. The utilization of visible light as an inexpensive and ecosustainable energy source, operational simplicity, ambient temperature and clean reaction in aqueous acetonitrile are the salient features of the developed protocol. The desired sulfones were also synthesized via a one-pot, two-step process directly from anilines and sulfinate salts in good to excellent yields.
