Abstract:An aerobic copper-catalyzed oxysulfonylation of vinylarenes with sodium sulfinates is described. This protocol features mild reaction conditions, convenient operation, and broad substrate scope with respect to vinylarenes and sodium sulfinates. Notably, the protocol demonstrates excellent tolerance of functional groups such as chloro, bromo, ester, cyano, and nitro groups. Mechanistic investigations indicated that the reaction should undergo radical cascades involving a sulfonyl radical generated from sodium s… Show more
