Despite notable advancements in reportedmethods, a sustainable and general catalytic method for the preparation of β-oxygen-containing sulfones remains elusive due to the inherent reactivity disparities and notorious metal-catalyst-poisoning capability of sulfur nucleophiles. Here, we present a distinct multifunctional hexatungstate catalytic strategy for the synthesis of β-hydroxy sulfones and β‑keto sulfones through a sequential hydroxysulfenylation of alkenes/selective oxidation process, utilizing a commerically available thiol and green hydrogen peroxide as the ‘oxy-sulfonylation reagent’. This method not only offers a practical route for delivering functionalized sulfones from readily available chemicals but also showcases its versatility through late-stage oxysulfonylation of complex substrates and concise syntheses of bioactive molecules. Moreover, this modular methodology features hydroperoxide reductant free, mild reaction conditions, water as the sole byproduct and new mechanism.","PeriodicalId":97,"journal":{"name":"Organic Chemistry Frontiers","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142820723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
