Complementary Site-Selective Sulfonylation of Aromatic Amines by Superacid Activation

Under superacidic conditions, aniline and indole derivatives are sulfonylated at low temperature with easy-to-access arenesulfonic acids or arenesulfonyl hydrazides. By modification of the functional-group directing effect through protonation, this method allows nonclassical site functionalization by overcoming the innate regioselectivity of electrophilic aromatic substitution. This superacid-mediated sulfonylation of arenes is complementary to existing methods and can be applied, through protection by protonation, to the late-stage site-selective functionalization of natural alkaloids and active pharmaceutical ingredients.

NaHSO3-Mediated Direct Synthesis of Sulfinic Esters from Sulfonyl Hydrazides under Transition-Metal-Free Conditions

We have developed a protocol for the NaHSO3-promoted esterification of sulfonyl hydrazides with alcohols for the synthesis of sulfinic esters. Various sulfonyl hydrazides could be converted to the corresponding sulfinic esters in good to high yields. The merits of this protocol include mild transition-metal-free reaction conditions, an inexpensive and available reagent, and operational simplicity. Controlled experiments reveal that this transformation probably undergoes via a radical pathway. (Figure presented.).

Synthesis of symmetrical / unsymmetrical thiosulfonates through the disproportionate coupling reaction of sulfonyl hydrazide mediated by phosphomolybdic acid

Phosphomolybdic acid (H3PMo12O40) is reported as a green low-cost catalyst for the synthesis of symmetrical / unsymmetrical thiosulfonates via the disproportionate coupling reaction of sulfonyl hydrazide. The attributes of this reported catalytic system include low catalyst loadings (1 mol%), efficient turnover, and high yields (up to 94%). Additionally, this reaction mechanism involves the formation of a thiyl radical and sulfonyl radical via sulfinyl radical disproportionation.

Copper-Catalyzed Sulfonylation of Cyclobutanone Oxime Esters with Sulfonyl Hydrazides

A copper-catalyzed radical cross-coupling of cyclobutanone oxime esters with sulfonyl hydrazides has been developed. The copper-based catalytic system proved crucial for cleavage of the C-C bond of cyclobutanone oximes and for selective C-S bond-formation involving persistent sulfonyl-metal radical intermediates. This protocol is distinguished by the low-cost catalytic system, which does not require ligand, base, or toxic cyanide salt, and by the use of readily accessible starting materials, as well as broad substrate scope, providing an efficient approach to various diversely substituted cyano-containing sulfones.

CuCl2-promoted decomposition of sulfonyl hydrazides for the synthesis of thiosulfonates

Sulfonyl hydrazides recently received much attention as reagents for the introduction of sulfur-containing functional groups into organic compounds, because both sulfonyl and sulfenyl sources could be generated by the oxidation and decomposition of the sulfonyl hydrazides, respectively. However, the transformations of sulfonyl hydrazides into thiosulfonates, which could be produced by the reaction between sulfonyl and sulfenyl sources, have been less investigated. In this manuscript, we describe CuCl2-promoted selective synthesis of thiosulfonates from sulfonyl hydrazides. A variety of thiosulfonates were produced in moderate to good yields. The mechanism involving radical intermediates such as sulfonyl radical and thiyl radical was proposed on the basis of the previously reported references and mechanistic investigations. In addition, quantum chemical simulations revealed that Cu-promoted decomposition of sulfonyl hydrazides is thermodynamically viable in the developed conditions.

TBN-mediated regio- and stereoselective sulfonylation & oximation (oximosulfonylation) of alkynes with sulfonyl hydrazines in EtOH/H2O

An alkyne difunctionalization cascade reaction was developed to generate α-sulfonylethanone oximes under metal-free conditions. The reaction features environmentally benign EtOH/H2O as a solvent, a broad substrate scope and easily scaled up for gram-scale synthesis. The reaction mechanism was illustrated with UPLC, GC-MS and UPLC-tof/MS.

Palladium-Catalyzed Regio- and Stereoselective Coupling-Addition of Propiolates with Arylsulfonyl Hydrazides: A Pattern for Difunctionalization of Alkynes

A new pattern for difunctionalization of alkynes via a palladium-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective coupling-addition of propiolates with arylsulfonyl hydrazides is disclosed. The approach enables the synthesis of various highly functionalized (E)-vinylsulfones in satisfactory yields. Arylsulfonyl hydrazides act as both aryl and sulfonyl sources via selective cleavage of Ar(C)-S and S-N bonds, which are simultaneously incorporated onto the terminal carbon atom of an alkyne molecule.

Exogenous-oxidant-free electrochemical oxidative C-H sulfonylation of arenes/heteroarenes with hydrogen evolution

An efficient and environmentally benign electrochemical oxidative radical C-H sulfonylation of arenes/heteroarenes was developed in this work. A series of significant diarylsulfones were prepared under mild catalyst- and exogenous-oxidant-free reaction conditions, which efficiently avoid the issues of desulfonylation or over-reduction of sulfonyl groups.

Diversity-Orientated Stereoselective Synthesis through Pd-Catalyzed Switchable Decarboxylative C?N/C?S Bond Formation in Allylic Surrogates

Switchable catalytic transformation of reactants can be a powerful approach towards diversity-orientated synthesis from easily available molecular synthons. Herein, an endogenous ligand-controlled, Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution allowing for either selective C?N or C?S bond formation using vinylethylene carbonates (VECs) and N-sulfonylhydrazones as coupling partners has been developed. This versatile methodology provides a facile, divergent route for the highly chemo- and stereoselective synthesis of functional allylic sulfones or sulfonohydrazides. The newly developed protocol features wide substrate scope (nearly 80 examples), broad functional group tolerance, and potential for the late-stage functionalization of bioactive compounds. The isolation and crystallographic analysis of a catalytically competent π-allyl Pd complex suggests that the pathway leading to the allylic products proceeds through a different manifold as previously proposed for the functionalization of VECs with nucleophiles.

Gold-Catalyzed Dehydrazinative C(sp)–S Coupling Reactions of Arylsulfonyl Hydrazides with Ethynylbenziodoxolones for Accessing Alkynyl Sulfones

A gold(III)-catalyzed dehydrazinative coupling reaction between arylsulfonyl hydrazides and ethynylbenziodoxolone reagents was realized for the synthesis of alkynyl sulfones. The scope and versatility of the reaction were demonstrated by the efficient synthesis of 23 derivatives with diverse structural features.
