Abstract
)-H sulfonylation of unactivated hydrocarbon compounds. A wide range of commercially available hydrocarbon compounds and bioactive molecules can be successfully applied to the catalytic system, affording the corresponding alkyl-alkyl sulfones in good to excellent yields (>50 examples, up to 87% yield).
