Project description:Sulfones feature prominently in biologically active molecules and are key functional groups for organic synthesis. We report a mild, photoredox-catalyzed reaction for sulfonylation of aniline derivatives with sulfinate salts, and demonstrate the utility of the method by the late-stage functionalization of drugs. Key features of the method are the straightforward generation of sulfonyl radicals from bench-stable sulfinate salts and the use of simple aniline derivatives as convenient readily available coupling partners.

Project description:Here, we report a one-pot Stadler-Ziegler reaction toward the synthesis of 1-thioglycosides in good yield from commercially available anilines and (un)protected 1-glycosyl thiols. This simple and mild approach employs the photoredox catalyst [Ru(bpy)3](PF6)2 under visible light.

Project description:Sulfonyl chlorides are inexpensive reactants extensively explored for functionalization, but never considered for radical hydrosulfonylation of alkenes. Herein, we report that tris(trimethylsilyl)silane is an ideal hydrogen atom donor enabling highly effective photoredox-catalyzed hydrosulfonylation of electron-deficient alkenes with sulfonyl chlorides. To increase the generality of this transformation, polarity-reversal catalysis (PRC) was successfully implemented for alkenes bearing alkyl substituents. This late-stage functionalization method tolerates a remarkably wide range of functional groups, is operationally simple, scalable, and allows access to building blocks which are important for medicinal chemistry and drug discovery.

Project description:Methanedisulfonyl fluoride, CH2(SO2F)2, transforms aromatic aldehydes into β-arylethenesulfonyl fluorides, useful substrates for the SuFEx "click"-type transformations. The reaction mimics mechanism of the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination, which runs via addition of the carbanion, followed by cyclization-fragmentation of the four-membered ring intermediate. In the absence of base, electron-rich aldehydes follow an alternative pathway of the Knoevenagel condensation to provide unsaturated 1,1-disulfonyl fluorides. We demonstrate also trapping of elusive ethene-1,1-disulfonyl fluoride, CH2═C(SO2F)2, with 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) that forms zwitterionic adduct, characterized with X-ray studies.

Project description:The past few years have witnessed a fast-growing research interest on the study of sulfonyl fluorides as reactive probes in chemical biology and molecular pharmacology, which raises an urgent need for the development of effective synthetic methods to expand the toolkit. Herein, we present the invention of a facile and general approach for the synthesis of aliphatic sulfonyl fluorides via visible-light-mediated decarboxylative fluorosulfonylethylation. The method is based on abundant carboxylic acid feed stock, applicable to various alkyl carboxylic acids including primary, secondary, and tertiary acids, and is also suitable for the modification of natural products like amino acids, peptides, as well as drugs, forging a rapid, metal-free approach to build sulfonyl fluoride compound libraries of considerable structural diversity. Further diversification of the SO2F-containing products is also demonstrated, which allows for access to a range of pharmaceutically important motifs such as sultam, sulfonate, and sulfonamide.

Project description:A general visible light-induced sulfonylation/cyclization to produce quinoline-2,4-diones was achieved under photocatalyst-free conditions. The reactions were performed at room temperature, and various substituents (halogen, alkyl, aryl) and substituted products were obtained with 29 examples within 2 h. Large-scale synthesis and derivatization study via carbonyl reduction to produce easily modified hydroxyl groups and convenient N-Ts deprotection showed the potential utility of this strategy.

Project description:Sulfonyl fluoride electrophiles have found significant utility as reactive probes in chemical biology and molecular pharmacology. As warheads they possess the right balance of biocompatibility (including aqueous stability) and protein reactivity. Their functionality is privileged in this regard as they are known to modify not only reactive serines (resulting in their common use as protease inhibitors), but also context-specific threonine, lysine, tyrosine, cysteine and histidine residues. This review describes the application of sulfonyl fluoride probes across various areas of research and explores new approaches that could further enhance the chemical biology toolkit. We believe that sulfonyl fluoride probes will find greater utility in areas such as covalent enzyme inhibition, target identification and validation, and the mapping of enzyme binding sites, substrates and protein-protein interactions.

Project description:Herein, we demonstrate two complementary strategies for the syntheses of sulfonyl fluorides using sulfonic acids and their salts. One strategy involves the conversion of sulfonic acid sodium salts to sulfonyl fluorides using thionyl fluoride in 90-99% yields in one hour. Lessons learned from the mechanism of this reaction also have enabled a complementary deoxyfluorination of sulfonic acids using Xtalfluor-E® - a bench stable solid - allowing for the conversion of both aryl and alkyl sulfonic acids and salts to sulfonyl fluorides in 41-94% yields. Notably, using Xtalfluor-E® enabled milder conditions and the use of both sulfonic acids and their sodium salts.

Project description:A photoreductive protocol utilizing [Ru(bpy)3]2+ photocatalyst, blue light LEDs, and ascorbic acid (AscH2) has been developed to reduce nitro N-heteroaryls to the corresponding anilines. Based on experimental and computational results and previous studies, we propose that the reaction proceeds via proton-coupled electron transfer between AscH2, photocatalyst, and the nitro N-heteroaryl. The method offers a green catalytic procedure to reduce, e.g., 4-/8-nitroquinolines to the corresponding aminoquinolines, substructures present in important antimalarial drugs.

Project description:A biomass-based catalyst, CuxOy@CS-400, was employed as an excellent recyclable heterogeneous catalyst to realize the sulfonylation reaction of aniline derivatives with sodium sulfinates. Various substrates were compatible, giving the desired products moderate to good yields at room temperature. In addition, this heterogeneous copper catalyst was also easy to recover and was recyclable up to five times without considerably deteriorating in catalytic efficiency. Importantly, these sulfonylation products were readily converted to the corresponding 4-sulfonyl anilines via a hydrolysis step. The method offers a unique strategy for synthesizing arylsulfones and has the potential to create new possibilities for developing heterogeneous copper-catalyzed C-H functionalizations.
