Iron-catalyzed direct difunctionalization of alkenes with dioxygen and sulfinic acids: A highly efficient and green approach to β-ketosulfones

A novel iron-catalyzed direct difunctionalization of alkenes with sulfinic acids and dioxygen for the synthesis of β-ketosulfones has been developed under mild conditions. The present protocol, which utilizes an inexpensive iron salt as the catalyst, readily available benzenesulfinic acids as the sulfonylating reagents, and dioxygen as the oxidant and oxygen source, provides a cost-effective and environmentally benign approach to access various β-ketosulfones.

A glucose oxidase-hemoglobin system for efficient oxysulfonylation of alkenes/alkynes in water

Background: β-ketosulfones are important bioactive compounds that have been extensively studied in organic chemistry. In this work, a green and efficient process for the synthesis of β-ketosulfones from alkenes (1) or alkynes (3) with sodium benzenesulfinate (2) was developed. Results: Under optimal conditions (alkenes (0.5 mmol) or alkynes (0.5 mmol), sodium benzenesulfinate (0.5 mmol), water (2 mL), hemoproteins (heme concentration: 0.06 mol%), GOX (42 U/ml), room temperature, 2 h), high yields of β-ketosulfones could be obtained when HgbRb (hemoglobin from rabbit blood) and GOX (glucose oxidase from Aspergillus niger) was used as the catalyst. Conclusion: This enzymatic method demonstrates the great potential for the synthesis of β-ketosulfones and extends the application of dual protein systems in organic synthesis.

Method for synthesizing beta-ketosulfone derivative under mild condition and obtained beta-ketosulfone derivative

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing a beta-ketosulfone derivative under a mild condition, which comprises the following steps: dissolving aryl olefin and sodium sulfinate in a solvent in a reaction container, adding an acidic additive, sealing the reaction container under the conditions that air exists in the reaction container and no transition metal exists, and purifying after reaction to obtain the beta-ketosulfone derivative. The free radical addition oxidation reaction of olefin and sulfinic acid can be realized under the mild condition without transition metal, the reaction raw materials are cheap and easy to obtain, no organic metal reagent or transition metal is needed, air is used as an oxidizing agent, no dangerous peroxide or persulfide is needed, and the method is compatible with air. The method has the advantages of simple operation and the like, and overcomes the defects of transition metal participation, large catalyst consumption, expensive reagents, high method cost, more reaction steps, more by-products and the like in the prior art.

Dioxygen-Triggered Oxosulfonylation/Sulfonylation of Terminal Olefins toward β-Keto Sulfones/Sulfones

A dioxygen-triggered oxosulfonylation/sulfonylation of unactivated olefins to achieve β-keto sulfones/sulfones has been developed. Interestingly, pluralistic mechanisms were found when different types of compounds were applied as substrates, and different products were achieved. The reaction is carried out with a high atomic efficiency in the absence of a metal and a catalyst at room temperature under an air atmosphere. Importantly, as a proof-of-concept, a bioactive molecule was synthesized on a gram-scale level using this method.

Acridine Orange Hemi(Zinc Chloride) Salt as a Lewis Acid-Photoredox Hybrid Catalyst for the Generation of α-Carbonyl Radicals

A readily accessible organic-inorganic hybrid catalyst is reported for the reductive fragmentation of α-halocarbonyl compounds. The robust hybrid catalyst is a self-stabilizing combination of ZnCl2 Lewis acid and acridine orange as the photoactive organic dye. Mechanistic specifics of this hybrid catalyst have been studied in detail using both photophysical and electrochemical experiments. A systematic study enabled the discovery of the appropriate Lewis acid for the effective LUMO stabilization of α-halocarbonyl compounds and thereby lowering of reduction potential within the range of a standard organic dye. This strategy resolves the issues like dehalogenative hydrogenation or homo-coupling of alkyl radicals by guiding the photoredox cycle through an oxidative quenching pathway. The cooperativity between the photoactive organic dye and the Lewis acid counterparts empowers functionalization with a wide range of coupling partners through efficient and controlled generation of alkyl radicals and serves as an appropriate alternative to the expensive late transition metal-based photocatalysts. To demonstrate the application potential of this cooperative catalytic system, four different synthetic transformations of α-carbonyl bromides were explored with broad substrate scopes.

Photosensitizer-free synthesis of β-keto sulfones: Via visible-light-induced oxysulfonylation of alkenes with sulfonic acids

A practical and environment-friendly methodology for the construction of β-keto sulfones through visible-light induced direct oxysulfonylation of alkenes with sulfonic acids at ambient temperature under open-air conditions was developed. Most importantly, the reaction proceeded smoothly without the addition of any photocatalyst or strong oxidant, ultimately minimizing the production of chemical waste.

Oxy-sulfonylation of terminal alkynesviaC-S coupling enabled by copper photoredox catalysis

We report the first literature example using visible light-induced trimethylsilyl azide (TMS-N3)-assisted copper-catalyzed oxy-sulfonylation of terminal C-C bonds to form β-keto sulfones (C-S bond formation). TMS-N3promotes the reaction by facilitating the formation of sulfonyl radicals, which later decompose into N2gas upon light irradiation. This method involves the use of commercially available and stable starting materials. Also, a wide range of functional groups have been well-tolerated under the current photoredox process, evading the side product formation. Potent biologically active compounds, such as CES1, 11β-HSD1 inhibitors, anti-analgesic agents, and reactive synthesis intermediates were synthesized to demonstrate the synthetic utility of the current methodology. Moreover, green chemistry metrics and Eco-scale evaluation for the current photochemical method show that the protocol is eco-friendly and highly efficient.

Cu(OTf)2-Catalyzed efficient sulfonylation of vinyl azides with sodium sulfinates

A simple oxidative cross-coupling reaction between vinyl azides and sodium sulfinates was developed. This reaction uses commercial arylsulfinates that are more efficient, cheaper, and more stable as sulfonylation reagents, for efficiently, cheaply, and environmentally friendly synthesis of β-keto sulfones. And the reaction has the advantages of simple operation, high efficiency, good yield, and also has a wide range of functional group tolerance.

Copper-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Cleavage of Unstrained Carbon-Carbon Bonds of 1,1-Disubstituted Alkenes with Sulfonyl Hydrazides

Alkoxy radical-mediated carbon-carbon bond cleavages have emerged as a powerful strategy to complement traditional ionic-type transformations. However, carbon-carbon cleavage reaction triggered by alkoxy radical intermediate derived from the combination of alkyl radical and dioxygen, is scarce and underdeveloped. Herein, we report alkoxy radical, which was generated from alkyl radical and dioxygen, mediated selective cleavage of unstrained carbon-carbon bond for the oxysulfonylation of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes, providing facile access to a variety of valuable β-keto sulfones. Mechanistic experiments indicated alkoxy radical intermediate that underwent subsequent regioselective β-scission might be involved in the reaction and preliminary computational studies were conducted to provide a detailed explanation on the regioselectivity of the C—C bond cleavage. Notably, the strategy was successfully applied for constructing uneasily obtained architecturally intriguing molecules.

Sulfated tungstate/dioxygen: A new catalytic system for oxysulfonylation of styrenes to form β-keto sulfones

A new system for synthesis of a wide range of β-keto sulfones using sulfated tungstate as a heterogeneous catalyst and oxygen as an environmentally benign oxidant with aryl hydrazides and styrenes as reacting counterparts has been developed. The preliminary experimental results support the involvement of free radical species. Thus, aryl sulfonyl free radicals, generated by oxidation of aryl sulfonyl hydrazides, subsequently undergo a tandem addition to styrenes to form intermediate benzyl free radicals, and oxygen capture and oxidation to furnish β-keto sulfones. The method is mild and efficient with easy workup procedures. The catalyst is recyclable. This journal is
