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.

Metal-Free Electrochemical Coupling of Vinyl Azides: Synthesis of Phenanthridines and β-Ketosulfones

We reported an efficient and environmentally benign electrochemical synthesis of phenanthridines by oxidative coupling of vinyl azides with sodium azide or benzenesulfonyl hydrazides, for the first time. The reaction conditions are mild, and no additional metal-catalyst or exogenous oxidants are needed. The protocol has broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance. Furthermore, this green electrochemical procedure can be readily extended to the synthesis of β-ketosulfones. Gram scale reactions further demonstrate the practicability.

Visible light promoted sulfonylation and sulfonylcarbonylation of alkenes

Visible light promoted sulfonylation and sulfonylcarbonylation reactions of readily available alkenes with TosMIC for the synthesis of valuable vinyl sulfones and β-keto sulfones were described. A reasonable radical involved mechanism is proposed.

A Naphthalimide-Based ND-O-EAc Photocatalyst for Sulfonation of Alkenes to Access β-Ketosulfones Under Visible Light

The development of facile, efficient, cost-effective, and visible light-driven photocatalysts for organic synthetic chemistry has received increasing attention. This protocol has initially synthesized a naphthalimide-based ND-O-EAc visible light photocatalyst for the sulfonation of alkenes to produce β-ketosulfones. Compared with the current photosynthetic strategies, the newly developed catalytic system has some merits, namely high efficiency, gram-scale preparation of low-cost photocatalyst, no metal contamination, wide substrate scope, and green terminal oxidant of air. Moreover, the prepared photocatalyst of ND-O-EAc is feasible for the sulfonation reactions of androstenones. Importantly, such a photocatalysis strategy can easily realize the scale-up synthesis for β-ketosulfone drugs under the mild conditions up to 90 % yield.

Biomimetic photocatalytic sulfonation of alkenes to access β-ketosulfones with single-atom iron site

Biomimetic photocatalysis as an important organic transformation strategy has received increasing attention, with the performances of biomimetic catalysts largely depending on their design. This protocol has been initially used to fabricate a biomimetic photocatalyst of single-atom iron site through coupling carbon nitride with hemin (CNH) for the visible light-promoted sulfonation of alkenes to produce β-ketosulfones with up to 94% yield. The experimental results show that the role of CN in CNH is concentrated on enhancing the separation ability of photogenerated electron pairs and holes to improve the photocatalytic activity and stability. Moreover, the as-prepared photocatalyst of single atom iron can be irradiated under near-infrared light with a satisfactory yield, and is also feasible for the sulfonation reactions of androstenones. Importantly, this biomimetic catalysis-based synthesis system has some merits, namely high catalysis efficiency, favorable recyclability, high turnover number, and excellent functional group tolerance, making it promising for extensive applications in organic transformations for the synthesis of β-ketosulfones to access various bioactive drugs.

Heterogeneous copper-catalyzed oxidative coupling of oxime acetates with sodium sulfinates: An efficient and practical synthesis of β-keto sulfones

An efficient and practical route to β-keto sulfones has been developed through heterogeneous oxidative coupling of oxime acetates with sodium sulfinates by using an MCM-41-supported Schiff base-pyridine bidentate copper (II) complex [MCM-41-Sb,Py-Cu (OAc)2] as the catalyst and oxime acetates as an internal oxidant, followed by hydrolysis. The reaction generates a variety of β-keto sulfones in good to excellent yields. This new heterogeneous copper (II) catalyst can be easily prepared via a simple procedure from readily available and inexpensive reagents and exhibits the same catalytic activity as Cu (OAc)2. MCM-41-Sb,Py-Cu (OAc)2 is also easy to recover and is recyclable up to eight times with almost consistent activity.

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing a high-added-value alpha-sulfone ketone compound from an alpha, alpha-dibromo ketone compound by a one-pot process. The method has the advantages thatan alpha-sulfone ketone derivative is synthesized from alpha, alpha-dibromo ketone, which is simple and easy to obtain, by the one-pot process without separation of an alpha-bromo ketone intermediate, so that a separation process for an intermediate product is omitted, the steps are reduced, and requirements for environment protection are met; the steps of the method are simple and easy to operate, no transition metal reagents are required, and economical sulfonate with less pollution is directly used as a promoter and a sulfonating agent for reducing debromination of the alpha, alpha-dibromoketone, so that the cost is reduced, and economic benefits of reactions are increased; a system for preparing the alpha-sulfone ketone derivative by the one-pot process is developed to provide a novel synthesis method for preparation of the alpha-sulfone ketone compound, and the method has good industrialization prospect and potential application value.

Photoinduced rearrangement of vinyl tosylates to β-ketosulfones

We developed a photoinduced radical fragmentation and rearrangement of vinyl tosylates that enables efficient formation of β-ketosulfones. This process is based on the photoinitiated homolysis of vinyl tosylate to release a sulfinyl radical from the tosyl group and the subsequent addition of a sulfinyl radical to another vinyl tosylate to form the desired β-ketosulfones. This simple protocol features a broad scope with both aromatic and aliphatic substrates, convenient reagents and operating systems.
