Ruthenium-catalyzed [2+2] cycloadditions of alkynyl sulfides and alkynyl sulfones

Ruthenium-catalyzed [2+2] cycloadditions of bicyclic alkenes with alkynyl sulfides and alkynyl sulfones were investigated. The sulfide and sulfone moieties were found to be compatible with the Ru-catalyzed cycloadditions, giving the corresponding cyclobutene cycloadducts in good yields. The sulfonyl-containing cycloadducts can be transformed into a variety of products that are difficult to obtain via direct cycloaddition.     

Regio- and stereoselective copper-catalyzed carbozincation reactions of alkynyl sulfoximines and sulfones

[structure: see text]. Stereochemically pure polysubstituted vinyl sulfoximines and sulfones are easily prepared by a copper-catalyzed syn carbozincation reaction of the corresponding alkynyl derivatives.     

The first broad application of alkynyl sulfides as dienophiles in cobalt(I)-catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions

The cobalt(I)-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction of nonactivated aryl alkynyl sulfides with acyclic 1,3-dienes generates dihydroaromatic vinyl sulfides under very mild reaction conditions, and these products can be oxidized with mild oxidants to the corresponding diaryl sulfides in good overall yields. The steric and electronic effects of substituents on the aryl, as well as on the alkynyl, moieties of the aryl alkynyl sulfide are discussed. While the cobalt catalyst system is quite efficient in converting alkynyl sulfides to the Diels-Alder adducts, the transformation of the corresponding aryl alkynyl sulfoxides and sulfones under similar mild reaction conditions gave only moderate yields of the desired adducts.     

Mukaiyama reagent-promoted metal-free preparation of alkynyl sulfones and phosphonates under mild conditions

An efficient and mild route for the formation sulfur or phosphor-substituted alkynes was herein demonstrated. The Mukaiyama reagent-mediated transformation started from easily-accessible substrates without carbon-carbon triple bonds, and the reaction proceeded under mild conditions (room temperature) in a one-pot manner, requiring for no transition metal-catalysts. The practical protocol featured for good functional groups tolerance (up to 41 examples) and high efficiency (up to 91% yields) towards alkynyl sulfones and alkynyl phosphonates at low cost.     

New allene synthesis via carbocupration-zinc carbenoid homologation and beta-elimination sequence

[reaction: see text] Polysubstituted propadienes are obtained in good to excellent yields by the consecutive carbocupration-homologation-beta-elimination reactions on the easily accessible alkynyl sulfoxides or sulfones. This one-pot reaction also allows the preparation of functionalized allenes.     

Stereoselective electrochemical carboxylation of α,β-unsaturated sulfones

As an attractive C1 synthon, carbon dioxide (CO₂) has been extensively used in organic synthesis to produce carboxylic acids. In this research, stereoselective electrochemical carboxylation of α,β-unsaturated sulfones has been developed under transition-metal-free conditions. All the cinnamic acids and the derivatives are obtained selectively in the E-configuration. Besides, arylpropiolates also can be produced from alkynyl sulfones.     

Titanocene(II)-promoted, one-pot, three-component coupling of thioacetals, alkynyl sulfones, and carbonyl compounds: highly stereoselective formation of tert-homopropargyl alcohols

Titanocene alkylidene complexes, generated by desulfurizative titanation of thioacetals with Cp2Ti[P(OEt)3]2, reacted with alkynyl methyl sulfones to produce organotitanium species, which gave tert-homopropargyl alcohols with high diastereoselectivity on treatment with aromatic and alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones.     

Free-radical carboalkynylation and carboalkenylation of olefins

Free-radical three-component carboalkynylation and -alkenylation of olefins have been developed. These involve the addition, across the double bond of an unactivated olefin, of a radical species α- to an electron-withdrawing group and an alkenyl or alkynyl moiety, derived from the corresponding sulfones.

MnO2‐Promoted Oxidative Radical Sulfonylation of Haloalkynes with Sulfonyl Hydrazides: C(sp)–S Bond Formation towards Alkynyl Sulfones

A catalyst‐free oxidative radical sulfonylation of haloalkynes with sulfonyl hydrazides is reported. It represents an example of C(sp)−S bond formation using sulfonyl hydrazides as sulfonyl radical sources. Various alkynyl sulfones were synthesized in moderate to good yields. Having MnO₂ as the oxidant is very critical for this transformation. Remarkably, the self‐coupling reaction of haloalkynes through C(sp)−C(sp) bond formation is significantly inhibited under the standard reaction conditions.     

Total synthesis of (+/-)-magnofargesin

[reaction: see text] A convenient method for the preparation of 2,5-dihydrofurans by using the chemistry of alkynyl(phenyl)iodonium salts is reported. Treatment of 3-alkoxy-1-alkynyl(phenyl)iodonium triflates with sodium benzenesulfinate generates an alkylidenecarbene, which undergoes [1,5]-C-H insertion to form 2-substituted 4-benzenesulfonyl-2,5-dihydrofurans in reasonable yield. These cyclic vinyl sulfones are functionalized in such a way as to make them useful starting materials for the preparation of lignans. The application of this methodology to the first total synthesis of (+/-)-magnofargesin is disclosed.     

A Desulfonylative Approach in Oxidative Gold Catalysis: Regiospecific Access to Donor‐Substituted Acyl Gold Carbenes

Donor‐substituted acyl gold carbenes are challenging to access selectively by gold‐promoted intermolecular oxidation of internal alkynes as the opposite regioisomers frequently predominate. By using alkynyl sulfones or sulfonates as substrates, the oxidative gold catalysis in the presence of substituted pyridine N‐oxides offers regiospecific access to acyl/aryl, acyl/alkenyl, and acyl/alkoxy gold carbenes by in situ expulsion of sulfur dioxide. The intermediacies of these reactive species are established by their reactivities, including undergoing further oxidation by the same oxidant, cyclopropanation of styrenes, engaging in a [3+2] cycloaddition with α‐methylstyrene, and conversion into dienones.     

Generation of allenylthioketene S,S-dioxides through [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of alkynyl propargyl sulfones

Thioketene S,S-dioxides 2 were successfully generated through [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of alkynyl propargyl sulfones 1 and the formation of 2 was confirmed by trapping experiment using cyclohexene or allyltrimethylsilane affording a [2+2] cycloadduct 5. In situ generated thioketene S,S-dioxides 2 underwent facile conversion into allenynes 3 in moderate yields, via formation and subsequent [1,2] shift of vinylidene carbenes.

Aerobic copper-catalyzed synthesis of (E)-alkenyl sulfones and (E)-β-halo-alkenyl sulfones via addition of sodium sulfinates to alkynes

Copper-catalyzed sulfonylation of alkynes using sodium sulfinates in air produced regio- and stereoselectively (E)-alkenyl sulfones. When a CuCl catalyst was employed, the hydrosulfonylation proceeded syn-selectively, and (E)-alkenyl sulfones were synthesized in excellent yields. In contrast, the reaction using CuI catalyst produced (E)-β-haloalkenyl sulfones anti-selectively in the presence of potassium halides. Furthermore, the (E)-β-bromoalkenyl sulfones are possible to convert into various alkenyl sulfones by Suzuki–Miyaura coupling.     

Dual Role of Alkynyl Bromides in One-Step Synthesis of Bromo-Substituted Alkynyl Sulfides

An atom-economical and environmentally friendly method for synthesis of bromo-substituted alkynyl sulfides has been developed. In the absence of any additive, alkynyl bromides could react with tetrahydrothiophene to give bromo-substituted alkynyl sulfides in moderate to perfect yields.     

Oxidative addition of Pd0 to Ar-SO2R bonds: heck-type reactions of sulfones

[reaction: see text] Phenyl vinyl sulfones and sulfoxides react with Pd(OAc)(2) to form styryl sulfoxides and sulfones according to the first Mizoroki-Heck reaction reported for these thio derivatives. Only sulfones are able to react by using catalytic amounts of Pd (up to 1 mol %) in the presence of Ag(2)CO(3). 1,2-Diphenylsulfonyl ethenes, alkynylphenyl sulfones, and other sulfones, less prone to act as acceptors in the Heck-type reactions, can transfer the aryl group to alkyl acrylates forming cinnamic esters.
