Metal-free sulfonylation of arenes with: N -fluorobenzenesulfonimide via cleavage of S-N bonds: expeditious synthesis of diarylsulfones

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.

Heterogeneous copper-catalyzed synthesis of diaryl sulfones

A carbon-supported copper nanoparticle (Cu-NP) with high catalytic activity for the synthesis of diaryl sulfones is reported. For the first time, this Cu-NP is proved to be able to effectively promote the reaction of arylboronic acids and arylsulfonyl hydrazides to generate diaryl sulfones at room temperature. The reaction shows excellent substrate universality, and substrates with different substituents can undergo the reaction smoothly, leading to the desired products in good yields. The Cu-NP is found to be made of low valence Cu based on XRD. Hence, the reaction catalyzed by the Cu-NP is believed to involve a Cu-mediated organometallic cycle.

Sulfonylation of Bismuth Reagents with Sulfinates or SO2through BiIII/BiV Intermediates

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.

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.

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.

Facile synthesis of diarylsulfones from arenes and 3CdSO4·xH2O via mechanochemistry

A variety of substituted diarylsulfones could be synthesized by simple arenes and 3CdSO4·xH2O in the presence of P2O5 under high-speed ball milling. It was suggest the aromatic sulfonation was performed by arene and in situ generated H2SO4, following-up by electrophilic substitution with another arene to give diarylsulfone.

Regiospecific Cleavage of S-N Bonds in Sulfonyl Azides: Sulfonyl Donors

Sulfonyl azides have been widely used as sulfonamido, diazo, and azido donors, as well as all-nitrogen 1,3-dipoles donors in synthetic chemistry. Here, the sulfonyl azides were used as efficient sulfonyl donors, which is very unusual. Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid-induced formation of the sulfonyl cation reactive species from sulfonyl azides was developed and used for the first time to couple various inactivated arenes to prepare sulfones at ambient temperature.

Copper-mediated sulfonylation of aryl iodides and bromides with arylsulfonyl hydrazides in PEG-400

Sulfonylation using stable and readily available arylsulfonyl hydrazides and aryl iodides or bromides mediated by cupric acetate has been achieved. Using polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as an eco-friendly medium, the coupling reaction could afford a series of unsymmetrical diaryl sulfones in moderate to good yields without the presence of additional ligands and base.

Synthesis of diaryl sulfones at room temperature: Cu-catalyzed cross-coupling of arylsulfonyl chlorides with arylboronic acids

An efficient and convenient method for the synthesis of diaryl sulfones was developed through the Cu-catalyzed cross-couplings of arylsulfonyl chlorides and arylboronic acids at room temperature in open air. This method is characterized by the use of inexpensive and readily available catalyst and substrates, mild reaction conditions, wide functionality tolerance, short reaction times for most substrates, and moderate to good yields. Stitch it up with copper: An efficient and convenient method for the synthesis of diaryl sulfones was developed through the Cu-catalyzed cross- couplings of arylsulfonyl chlorides and arylboronic acids at room temperature in open air.

A highly active and easily recoverable chitosan@copper catalyst for the C-S coupling and its application in the synthesis of zolimidine

Aryl sulfones were synthesized using a highly active and easily recoverable heterogeneous Cu catalyst which was prepared by simply stirring an aqueous suspension of chitosan in water with copper salts. The chitosan@copper catalyst catalyzed the coupling reactions of aryl halides with sodium sulfinates to readily give the corresponding sulfones in good to excellent yields. The highly active catalyst can be reused many times without losing its catalytic activity. In addition, by using this protocol, the marketed drug zolimidine (antiulcer) could be synthesized easily.
