Photocatalytic Enantioselective Hydrosulfonylation of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyls with Sulfonyl Chlorides

This research explores the enantioselective hydrosulfonylation of various α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds via the use of visible light and redox-active chiral Ni-catalysis, facilitating the synthesis of enantioenriched α-chiral sulfones with remarkable enantioselectivity (exceeding 99 % ee). A significant challenge entails enhancing the reactivity between chiral metal-coordinated carbonyl compounds and moderate electrophilic sulfonyl radicals, aiming to minimize the background reactions. The success of our approach stems from two distinctive attributes: 1) the Cl-atom abstraction employed for sulfonyl radical generation from sulfonyl chlorides, and 2) the single-electron reduction to produce a key enolate radical Ni-complex. The latter process appears to enhance the feasibility of the sulfonyl radical's addition to the electron-rich enolate radical. An in-depth investigation into the reaction mechanism, supported by both experimental observations and theoretical analysis, offers insight into the intricate reaction process. Moreover, the versatility of our methodology is highlighted through its successful application in the late-stage functionalization of complex bioactive molecules, demonstrating its practicality as a strategy for producing α-chiral sulfones.

Bifunctionalized Allenes,VII: Two Methods for One‐Pot Synthesis of Sulfonyl‐Functionalized Allenecarboxylates and Phosphorylated Allenes

Two new approaches to the synthesis of sulfonyl‐functionalized allenecarboxylates and phosphorylated allenes are described. 2‐Sulfonyl‐alka‐2,3‐dienoates were readily prepared in an one‐pot reaction by [2,3]‐sigmatropic rearrangement of sulfinato‐substituted 2‐alkynoates, in situ generated from ethyl propynoate and subsequent treatment with lithium diisopropyl (LDA), ketone, trimethylchlorosilane (TMSCl), and the corresponding sulfinyl chlorides. Preparation of 1‐sulfonyl‐alka‐1,2‐dienephosphonates and ‐1,2‐dienyl phosphine oxides consists of the reaction of the lithio compounds, in situ generated from phosphorylated allenes and LDA, with the corresponding sulfonyl chlorides.     

Recent progress in the synthesis of sulfonyl fluorides for SuFEx click chemistry

Since the sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange reaction (SuFEx) was introduced by Sharpless and co-workers in 2014, this new-generation click chemistry has emerged as an efficient and reliable tool for creating modular intermolecular connections. Sulfonyl fluorides, one of the most important sulfur(VI) fluoride species, have attracted enormous attention in diverse fields, ranging from organic synthesis and material science, to chemical biology and drug discovery. This review aims to introduce seminal and recent progresses on the synthetic methods of sulfonyl fluorides, which include aromatic, aliphatic, alkenyl, and alkynyl sulfonyl fluorides. While not meant to be exhaustive, the purpose is to give a timely overview and insight in this field, and stimulate the development of more efficient synthetic methods of sulfonyl fluorides.     

Alkoxysulfonyl radical species: acquisition and transformation towards sulfonate esters through electrochemistry

Sulfonyl radical mediated processes have been considered as a powerful strategy for the construction of sulfonyl compounds. However, an efficient and high atom-economical radical approach to the synthesis of sulfonate esters is still rare, owing to the limited tactics to achieve alkoxysulfonyl radicals. Herein, an electrochemical anodic oxidation of inorganic sulfites with alcohols is developed to afford alkoxysulfonyl radical species, which are utilized in subsequent alkene difunctionalization to provide various sulfonate esters. This transformation features excellent chemoselectivity and broad functional group tolerance. This new discovery presents the potential prospect for the construction of sulfonate esters, and enriches the electrochemical reaction type.

A new route to provide alkoxysulfonyl radical species via electrochemical anodic oxidation of inorganic sulfites with alcohols is developed, affording sulfonate esters by subsequent alkene difunctionalization with these alkoxysulfonyl radicals.     

Efficient synthesis of sulfonyl azides from sulfonamides

Triflyl azide serves as an efficient diazo transfer reagent in this first direct synthesis of sulfonyl azides from readily available and stable sulfonamides. The process is experimentally simple, mild, and high-yielding. Sulfonyl azides participate in various catalytic transformations providing rapid access to diversely functionalized sulfonamide derivatives in good yields.     

Hydrosulfonylation of Alkenes with Sulfonyl Chlorides under Visible Light Activation

Sulfonyl chlorides are inexpensive reactants extensively explored for functionalization, but never considered for radical hydrosulfonylation of alkenes. Herein, we report that tris(trimethylsilyl)silane is an ideal hydrogen atom donor enabling highly effective photoredox‐catalyzed hydrosulfonylation of electron‐deficient alkenes with sulfonyl chlorides. To increase the generality of this transformation, polarity‐reversal catalysis (PRC) was successfully implemented for alkenes bearing alkyl substituents. This late‐stage functionalization method tolerates a remarkably wide range of functional groups, is operationally simple, scalable, and allows access to building blocks which are important for medicinal chemistry and drug discovery.     

Radical amination with sulfonyl azides: a powerful method for the formation of C-N bonds

A novel reaction for the introduction of an azide moiety by means of a mild radical process is currently under development. Sulfonyl azides are suitable azidating agents for nucleophilic radicals, such as secondary and tertiary alkyl radicals. More electrophilic radicals, such as enolate radicals, do not react with sulfonyl azides. This feature allowed the development of efficient intra- and intermolecular carboazidations of olefins. Due to the versatility of the azido group, this reaction has an important synthetic potential, as already demonstrated by the preparation of the core of several alkaloids, particularly those containing an amino-substituted quaternary carbon center, such as FR901483.     

Synthesis of sulfonimide-based dendrimers and dendrons possessing mixed 1 → 2 and 1 → 4 branching motifs

The synthesis of dendrimers and a chlorosulfo-dendron possessing a unique combination of 1?→?2 and 1?→?4 branching types is described. The procedure consists of a two-step preparation of 3,5-dinitrobenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride, which was used for the persulfonylation of p-toluidine and 4-(benzylthio)aniline. The obtained tetranitro compounds were reduced to the corresponding tetraamines. The latter were decorated with eight 4-toluene sulfonyl groups each to furnish the corresponding dendrimers. Oxidation of the dendrimer possessing a 4-(benzylthio)phenylene core with N-chlorosuccinimide resulted in the formation of a dendron with a sulfonyl chloride functionality at the focal point.     

Azoxy Compounds—From Synthesis to Reagents for Azoxy Group Transfer Reactions

The azoxy functional group is an important structural motif and represents the formally oxidized counterpart of the azo group. Azoxy compounds find numerous applications ranging from pharmaceuticals to functional materials, yet their synthesis remains underdeveloped with a main focus on the formation symmetric azoxy compounds. To overcome challenges in the synthesis of such unsymmetric azoxy compounds, we designed a process employing readily accessible nitroso compounds and iminoiodinanes. This method builds on the use of visible light irradiation to generate a triplet nitrene from iminoiodinanes, which is trapped by nitroso arenes to give access to sulfonyl-protected azoxy compounds with a good substrate scope and functional group tolerance. We further describe two applications of these sulfonyl-protected azoxy compounds as radical precursors in synthesis, where the whole azoxy group can be transferred and employed in C(sp³)−H functionalization of ethers or 1,2-difunctionalization of vinyl ethers. All of the reactions occurred at room temperature under visible light irradiation without the addition of any photoredox catalysts and additives. Control experiments, mechanism investigations, and DFT studies well explained the observed reactivity.
