A practical and direct method was developed for the production of versatile alkyl boronate esters via transition metal-free borylation of primary and secondary alkyl sulfones. The key to the success of the strategy is the use of bis(neopentyl glycolato) diboron (B2neop2), with a stoichiometric amount of base as a promoter. The practicality and industrial potential of this protocol are highlighted by its wide functional group tolerance, the late-stage modification of complex compounds, no need for further transesterification, and operational simplicity. Radical clock, radical trap experiments, and EPR studies were conducted which show that the borylation process involves radical intermediates.

A one-pot nickel-catalyzed synthesis of (hetero)aryl alkyl sulfones from readily available boronic acids, sodium metabisulfite and benzylic ammonium salts as electrophiles is described. This general and efficient synthetic process is of broad scope, occurs in two steps, and delivers structural diverse sulfones, and the intermediate sulfinate is isolated. The transformation exhibits application of benzylic ammonium salts as novel electrophiles for direct insertion of SO2 as a novel area to be investigated.

A new protocol for the synthesis of (enantioenriched) benzylic sulfones via the Cu2O-catalyzed C–S bond cross coupling of alkane-/arene-sulfinates and (enantioenriched) benzylic quaternary ammonium salts has been developed. The product benzylic sulfones were obtained in good to high yields (75–96%). Chiral arylmethyl sulfones with high enantiomeric excess (90–94% ee) were also synthesized in the presence of Cu2O and 1,1′-bis-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf).

The development of first-row-transition-metal catalysts that can match with the reactivities of the noble metals is considered to be challenging yet very much a desirable goal in homogeneous catalysis. It has become even more fascinating to develop processes where these metals show a unique reactivity and selectivity than their higher congeners. Herein, we report on the catalytic activity of a pincer complex of the abundant earth metal manganese for an unprecedented acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alkyl sulfones with alcohols. Thus, highly functionalized vinyl sulfones were obtained in moderate to good yields. Both benzylic and aliphatic alcohols could be utilized, and several functional groups including bromides and iodides are tolerated under the reaction conditions. The reaction is environmentally benign, producing dihydrogen and water as byproducts. Preliminary mechanistic experiments involving kinetic, deuterium-labeling, and NMR experiments were performed.

Triarylmethanes, which are valuable structures in materials, sensing and pharmaceuticals, have been synthesized starting from methyl phenyl sulfone as an inexpensive and readily available template. The three aryl groups were installed through two sequential palladium-catalyzed C-H arylation reactions, followed by an arylative desulfonation. This method provides a new synthetic approach to multisubstituted triarylmethanes using readily available haloarenes and aryl boronic acids, and is also valuable for the preparation of unexplored triarylmethane-based materials and pharmaceuticals. Unsymmetric triarylmethanes have been synthesized starting from methyl phenyl sulfone as an inexpensive and readily available template. The three aryl groups were installed through two sequential palladium-catalyzed C-H arylation reactions, followed by an arylative desulfonation. Copyright

Highly atom-efficient oxidation of sulfides into sulfones under solvent- and catalyst-free reaction conditions using a 30% aqueous solution of H 2O2 at 75 °C is reported. A structurally diverse set of phenyl alkyl-, phenyl benzyl-, benzyl alkyl-, dialkyl-, heteroaryl alkyl- and cyclic sulfides were transformed into sulfones regardless of the aggregate state and electronic nature of the substituents. In spite of the heterogeneous reaction mixtures throughout the work, no difficulties with stirring and reaction progress were noted. In numerous cases, only 10 mol% excess of H 2O2 was used, thus contributing considerably to the high atom economy of the process. Some solid substrates required a variable excess of hydrogen peroxide; however, the reactions were performed strictly without organic solvents. The transformation was demonstrated to be amenable for scale-up with both liquid and solid sulfides. In addition, isolation and purification of the crude products can be simply done with only filtration and crystallization.
