Article Abstract

An efficient, catalyst-free strategy to construct diarylmethyl sulfones via 1,6-conjugate addition/aromatization/sulfonylation reaction of -quinone methides with sulfonyl hydrazides under mild and environmentally benign conditions has been developed. The established protocol provided a highly chemo- and regioselectivity synthesis of a diverse array of novel diarylmethyl sulfones with excellent yields, and the reaction could be scaled up.

A highly efficient sulfonylation of -quinone methides with sulfonyl hydrazines in water has been developed on the basis of the mode involving a tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (TBAB)-promoted sulfa-1,6-conjugated addition pathway. This reaction provides a green and sustainable method to synthesize various unsymmetrical diarylmethyl sulfones, showing good functional group tolerance, scalability, and regioselectivity. Further transformation of the resulting diarylmethyl sulfones provides an efficient route to some functionalized molecules.

The transition-metal-free synthesis of unsymmetrical and highly functionalized triarylmethanes through arylation of the situ generated o-QMs from diarylmethyl p-tolyl sulfones with aryl zinc reagents is described. Alkyl zinc reagents are also well tolerated in this reaction. Additionally, the straightforward synthesis of the analogue of the antituberculosis agent A and the key precursor of the anti-breast-cancer agent B are achieved by this strategy.

A Pd/(R)-BINAP-catalyzed enantioselective benzylic sulfonation of diarylmethyl carbonates with sodium sulfinates proceeds to deliver the corresponding chiral diarylmethyl sulfones in good yields with high enantioselectivity. The reaction occurs in a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) manner and thus provides convergent access to optically active benzylic sulfones from racemic secondary benzylic carbonates. Additionally, the addition of H O is found to be critical for high enantioselectivity.
