Electrochemical Oxidative Sulfonylation–Azidation of Alkenes
Bin Song, Pengxiang Gao, Bingcheng Hu, Chong Zhang
Abstract
A novel electrochemical oxidative sulfonylation–azidation of alkenes is accomplished by using sulfonyl hydrazide and trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN 3 ) for the one-pot and green synthesis of β-azidoarylsulfone, which involves the direct construction of new C–S and C–N bonds. Notably, neither exogenous oxidants/additives nor metal catalysts are required for this method. In addition, this electrochemical strategy features mild conditions and wide substrate scope and has been proved to be a radical pathway by mechanistic studies.
