Cobalt-catalyzed stereoselective iodosulfonylation and diiodination of alkynes via oxidation of potassium iodide in air

Cobalt-catalyzed iodosulfonylation of alkynes can be achieved using sodium sulfinates in the presence of KI. This procedure produces numerous stereoselective (E)-β-iodoalkenyl sulfones with good yields and suppresses the formation of diiodoalkenes. Furthermore, when this reaction is performed in the absence of sodium sulfinates, the expected (E)-diiodoalkenes are obtained.

Photoredox Catalyzed Sulfonylation of Multisubstituted Allenes with Ru(bpy)3Cl2 or Rhodamine B

A highly regio- and stereoselective sulfonylation of allenes was developed that provided direct access to α, β-substituted unsaturated sulfone. By means of visible-light photoredox catalysis, the free radicals produced by p-toluenesulfonic acid reacted with multisubstituted allenes to obtain Markovnikov-type vinyl sulfones with Ru(bpy)3Cl2 or Rhodamine B as photocatalyst. The yield of this reaction could reach up to 91%. A series of unsaturated sulfones would be used for further transformation to some valuable compounds.

Direct Synthesis of Propen-2-yl Sulfones through Cascade Reactions Using Calcium Carbide as an Alkyne Source

A simple method for the construction of propen-2-yl sulfones through cascade reactions of calcium carbide with arylsulfonylhydrazones using copper as a mediator is described. The salient features of this protocol are the use of readily available and easy-to-handle alkyne source, broad substrate scope, open-air condition, and simple operation procedure.

Photoredox-Catalyzed Hydrosulfonylation of Arylallenes

(Het)Arylallenes undergo hydrosulfonylation under photoredox-catalyzed conditions. The reaction gives vinyl sulfones in a regio- and diastereoselective manner, employing sodium sulfinates as the sulfonyl source and eosin Y as the photocatalyst. Indol-1-yl, pyrrol-1-yl, phenyl, and naphtylallenes might be used. Aliphatic allenes are incompatible with the reaction conditions.

Visible-Light-Mediated Photoredox-Catalyzed Regio- and Stereoselective Chlorosulfonylation of Alkynes

Herein, a one-step chlorosulfonylation of alkynes via a photocatalytic redox process is described. A variety of commercially available sulfonyl chlorides can be applied for the generation of sulfonyl radical species under visible-light irradiation. Regio- and stereoselective addition of the sulfonyl radical and chloride leads to the efficient formation of (E)-selective β-chlorovinyl sulfones from a broad range of terminal and internal alkynes. The reported method represents an operationally simple and mild way to furnish vinyl sulfones.

Metal-free Oxidative Coupling of Aromatic Alkenes with Thiols Leading to (E)-Vinyl Sulfones

A facile I2O5-mediated direct oxidative coupling of aromatic alkenes with thiols toward vinyl sulfones has been developed under metal-free conditions. This methodology provides a convenient and efficient approach to various (E)-vinyl sulfones from readily available starting materials with excellent regioselectivity. The present oxidative coupling reaction, not only expands the scope of functionalization of alkenes with thiols, but also makes it a practical and powerful complement to traditional methods for the synthesis of (E)-vinyl sulfones.

Regioselective Synthesis of Vinyl Halides, Vinyl Sulfones, and Alkynes: A Tandem Intermolecular Nucleophilic and Electrophilic Vinylation of Tosylhydrazones

A diazo species is trapped in an intermolecular fashion by two independent ion species in tandem at the carbene center to install an electrophile and a nucleophile on the same carbon. This metal-free concept, which is unprecedented, has been illustrated by regioselective synthesis of a variety of vinyl halides, vinyl sulfones, and alkyne derivatives. (Chemical Equation Presented).

Copper-catalyzed radical reaction of N -tosylhydrazones: Stereoselective synthesis of (E)-vinyl sulfones

A new chemistry of hydrazines that is a copper-catalyzed radical reaction to synthesize vinyl sulfones from readily available N-tosylhydrazones has been described. The protocol provides a novel strategy for the synthesis of various vinyl sulfones including α, β-disubstituted ones and terminal ones. The advantages of the transformation include excellent E stereoselectivity, broad substrate scope, low cost of reagents, and convenient operation. A novel and efficient one-pot synthesis of alkynes from N-tosylhydrazones has been achieved. The studies provide important complementary approaches for the syntheses of vinyl sulfones and alkynes.

Synthesis of vinylsulfones via palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling of cinnamic acids with aromatic sulfinic acid sodium salts

A highly efficient synthesis of vinylsulfones was achieved via decarboxylative cross-coupling reaction of cinnamic acids with aromatic sulfinic acid sodium salts catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 and dppb in the presence of Ag2CO3. The reaction was found to furnish various vinylsulfones in good yields instead of the expected desulfitative product stilbenes. Mechanistic investigation also suggested that the decarboxylation is likely to take place after the transmetallation step. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Aerobic copper-catalyzed synthesis of (E)-alkenyl sulfones and (E)-β-halo-alkenyl sulfones via addition of sodium sulfinates to alkynes

Copper-catalyzed sulfonylation of alkynes using sodium sulfinates in air produced regio- and stereoselectively (E)-alkenyl sulfones. When a CuCl catalyst was employed, the hydrosulfonylation proceeded syn-selectively, and (E)-alkenyl sulfones were synthesized in excellent yields. In contrast, the reaction using CuI catalyst produced (E)-β-haloalkenyl sulfones anti-selectively in the presence of potassium halides. Furthermore, the (E)-β-bromoalkenyl sulfones are possible to convert into various alkenyl sulfones by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling.
