Electrochemical sulfonylation of enamides with sodium sulfinates to access β-amidovinyl sulfones
The electrochemical sulfonylation of enamides with sodium sulfinates was developed in an undivided cell in constant current mode, leading to the formation of β-amidovinyl sulfones in moderate to good yields. The catalyst-, electrolyte- and oxidant-free protocol features good functional group toleran...

Summary: | The electrochemical sulfonylation of enamides with sodium sulfinates was developed in an undivided cell in constant current mode, leading to the formation of β-amidovinyl sulfones in moderate to good yields. The catalyst-, electrolyte- and oxidant-free protocol features good functional group tolerance and employs electric current as a green oxidant. Mechanistic insights into the reaction indicate that the reaction may proceed
via
a radical mechanism.
The electrochemical sulfonylation of enamides with sodium sulfinates in an undivided cell under catalyst- and exogenous redox reagent-free conditions was developed to access a variety of β-amidovinyl sulfones. |
