“…With methyl styryl ketone, α-mesyloxylated product 29 was exclusive. 27,28 With certain substrates, we observed a profound effect on product selectivity and distribution when the I(III) oxidant and/or sulfonic acid was varied (Scheme 5). For example, when N-(3-buten-1-yl)phthalimide was stirred with PhI(OPiv)2 and MsOH in CH2Cl2, the major product was the expected dimesyloxylated compound 30 accompanied by a minor amount of mesyloxy-hydroxy compound 31 (Scheme 5).…”
We have developed convenient protocols for alkene disulfonoxylation, which involve stirring alkene substrate with a commercial I(III) oxidant and sulfonic acid in CH2Cl2 at ambient temperature. The reactions can be performed open to air without any special precautions to exclude moisture and, in most cases, deliver the products of vicinal disulfonoxylation. Where relevant, the reactions are stereospecific and furnish the products of syn-disulfonoxylation. Our protocols work best with terminal alkene substrates, but other substitution patterns are also compatible. With alkene substrates bearing appropriately positioned esters, sulfonoxylated lactones are the major products. With certain styrenyl alkenes, the products of geminal disulfonoxylation are exclusive. For this last reaction type, our results suggest that literature reports of related transformations contain misassigned product structures.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
