Difunctionalization of unactivated olefins via selective electrochemical chlorosulfuration or chlorosulfoxidation

Abstract

Direct difunctionalization of olefins—which are the most commonly used compounds in organic synthesis—is a powerful tool for rapid formation of structurally complex building blocks from readily available starting materials. However, difunctionalization of unactivated olefins remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we describe a green, cost-effective, and eco-friendly electrochemical protocol for selective chlorosulfuration or chlorosulfoxidation of unactivated alkenes. This electrochemical method creates the potential possibility for the preparation of high-value-added products in a more sustainable and greener manner.
