Visible-Light Photoredox Catalysis for Vinyl Sulfone Construction via Sulfoxonium Ylide Alkynylation
Abstract
Herein, a Visible-light synthesis of 1,4-dicarbonyl vinyl sulfones via sulfoxonium ylide homocoupling forming C≡C bonds, followed by sulfonyl hydrazide alkenylation is disclosed. Mechanistic studies support a sequential single-electron transfer (SET) and radical addition pathway. The method offers a sustainable alternative to conventional alkyne functionalization strategie.
