Cross coupling of sulfonyl radicals with silver-based carbenes: a simple approach to β-carbonyl arylsulfones†
Abstract
A coupling reaction between sulfonyl radicals and silver-based carbenes has been well established. This simple radical–carbene coupling (RCC) process provided an efficient approach to a variety of β-carbonyl arylsulfones from sodium arylsulfinates and diazo compounds, and was characterized by wide substrate scope, easy scale-up, simple manipulation, accessible starting materials, and mild reaction conditions.
