A three-component reaction of aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates, sodium metabisulfite, and 3-azido-2-methylbut-3-en-2-ol under mild conditions is described. By using abundant and cheap sodium metabisulfite as the sulfur dioxide surrogate, this protocol features good functional group compatibility, affording 2-arylsulfonylacetonitriles in moderate to good yields. The reaction proceeds smoothly at room temperature without the need of any catalysts or additives. Moreover, the synthetic utility of this method is demonstrated by the transformation of 2-arylsulfonylacetonitrile into 2-arylsulfonyl acetamide and 2-arylsulfonylethylamine. (Figure presented.).

Metal-free insertion of sulfur dioxide with aryl iodides and 3-azido-2-methylbut-3-en-2-ol under ultraviolet irradiation at room temperature is achieved, giving rise to 2-(arylsulfonyl)acetonitriles in moderate to good yields. Alkyl iodide is also workable under these conditions. This transformation proceeds smoothly under mild conditions with a broad substrate scope. Various functional groups are compatible including amino, ester, halo, and trifluoromethyl groups. No metal catalyst or additive is needed during the reaction process. Mechanistic studies show that under ultraviolet irradiation, an aryl radical is generated in situ from aryl iodide, which undergoes subsequent sulfonylation via the insertion of sulfur dioxide leading to arylsulfonyl radical intermediates. Then the arylsulfonyl radical reacts with 3-azido-2-methylbut-3-en-2-ol giving rise to the corresponding 2-(arylsulfonyl)acetonitrile.

The reaction of 2-unsubstituted imidazole N -oxides with ethyl cyanoacetate and aromatic aldehydes leads to the formation of ethyl 2-cyano-2-(1,3-dihydro-2 H -imidazole-2-ylidene)acetates. The reaction proceeds through an initial [3+2] cycloaddition, followed by cleavage of the cycloadduct and regeneration of the aldehyde, which essentially plays a catalytic role.
