Abstract
Herein, we report a strategy for the alkylarylation of unsaturated carbon–carbon bonds, wherein bis(sulfones) serve as dual-source donors to deliver alkyl and aryl groups in a single step, redefining their reactivity paradigm. Both alkenes and alkynes undergo efficient difunctionalization with broad functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies reveal a cascade involving deprotonation, single-electron oxidation, radical addition and Smiles rearrangement.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
