Nano copper catalyzed synthesis of symmetrical/unsymmetrical sulfones from aryl/alkyl halides and p-toluenesulfonylmethylisocyanide: TosMIC as a tosyl source

A magnetically induced nano copper-catalyzed efficient and mild route for the synthesis of diaryl and alkyl/aryl sulfones from aryl/alkyl halides and tosylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) has been developed. A variety of aryl and alkyl sulfones have been obtained in very good to excellent yields. Sulfones containing molecules have medicinal relevance as they are known to possess various activities such as antifungal, anti-HIV, antitumor, and anticancer. Herein, a magnetically induced nano copper-catalyzed efficient and mild route for the synthesis of biaryl and alkyl/aryl sulfones from aryl/alkyl halides and tosylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) has been developed. A variety of aryl and alkyl sulfones have been obtained in very good to excellent yields. In this newly developed protocol TosMIC acts as sulfonyl source. The catalyst can magnetically be recovered and recycled five times without significant loss in activity.

Method for preparing diphenyl sulfone compound through catalysis of palladium acetate

The invention discloses a method for preparing a diphenyl sulfone compound shown in formula (III) through catalysis of palladium acetate. The method comprises the following steps: fully reacting a bromobenzene compound as shown in formula (I), sodium sulfate and a benzoic acid compound as shown in formula (II) in a reaction medium with dimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent under the action of palladium acetate as a catalyst and alkali metal carbonate as a base to prepare a reactant, and carrying out aftertreatment on the reactant to prepare the diphenyl sulfone compound. The catalyst is 20-mol%equivalent of the palladium acetate, and the alkali metal carbonate is cesium carbonate; in a reaction formula as shown in specification, R1 is selected from one of the following components: hydrogenand methyl; R2 is selected from one of the following components: hydrogen, methyl, methoxyl and trifluoromethoxy; the raw materials are simple, convenient and easy to obtain, and the preparation conditions are mild; the cost is low, and the requirement on equipment is low; aftertreatment is facilitated; and a catalytic system has wide adaptability and is suitable for large-scale industrial production.

Regiospecific Cleavage of S-N Bonds in Sulfonyl Azides: Sulfonyl Donors

Sulfonyl azides have been widely used as sulfonamido, diazo, and azido donors, as well as all-nitrogen 1,3-dipoles donors in synthetic chemistry. Here, the sulfonyl azides were used as efficient sulfonyl donors, which is very unusual. Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid-induced formation of the sulfonyl cation reactive species from sulfonyl azides was developed and used for the first time to couple various inactivated arenes to prepare sulfones at ambient temperature.

Copper-mediated sulfonylation of aryl iodides and bromides with arylsulfonyl hydrazides in PEG-400

Sulfonylation using stable and readily available arylsulfonyl hydrazides and aryl iodides or bromides mediated by cupric acetate has been achieved. Using polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as an eco-friendly medium, the coupling reaction could afford a series of unsymmetrical diaryl sulfones in moderate to good yields without the presence of additional ligands and base.

Rapid transformation of sulfinate salts into sulfonates promoted by a hypervalent iodine(III) reagent

An alternative method for forming sulfonates through hypervalent iodine(III) reagent-mediated oxidation of sodium sulfinates has been developed. This transformation involves trapping reactive sulfonium species using alcohols. With additional optimization of the reaction conditions, the method appears extendable to other nucleophiles such as electron-rich aromatic systems or cyclic ethers through a ring opening pathway.

Sulfonylation of aromatic compounds with sulfonic acids using silica gel-supported AlCl3 as a heterogeneous Lewis acid catalyst

Silica gel-supported aluminum chloride (SiO2-AlCl3) has been shown to be a mild, efficient, and chemoselective heterogeneous Lewis acid catalyst for direct conversion of arenes to sulfones using sulfonic acids as sulfonylating agents. The catalyst can be prepared easily with cheap starting materials and is stable (as a bench-top catalyst) and reusable.

Polystyrene supported Al(OTf)3: A stable, efficient, selective, and reusable catalyst for sulfonylation of arenes with sulfonic acids

Cross-linked polystyrene supported aluminium triflate (Ps-Al(OTf) 3) was found to be an efficient and chemoselective heterogeneous Lewis acid catalyst for the direct conversion of arenes to sulfones using sulfonic acids as sulfonylating agents. The solid acid catalyst is stable (as a bench top catalyst) and can be easily recovered and reused without appreciable change in its efficiency.

Sulfonylation of arenes with sulfonamides

In the presence of triflic anhydride, sulfonylation of arenes with sulfonamides proceeded smoothly in Cl2CHCHCl2 at 80-140 °C, which gave rise to the desired products in good to excellent yields.

Unsymmetrical diaryl sulfones through palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl boronic acids and arylsulfonyl chlorides

A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl sulfones using the palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl boronic acids and arylsulfonyl chlorides has been developed. High product yields, a short reaction time, and mild reaction conditions are important features of this method.
