A smart H-phosphonate-mediated synthetic strategy for the sulfonylation of heteroaromatic N-oxides has been developed, by which a large variety of 2-sulfonyl quinolines/pyridines were synthesized starting from easily available sulfonyl chlorides, diisopropyl H-phosphonate and pyridine/quinoline N-oxides in one pot under metal-free conditions at room temperature.

Nitrogen central radicals (NCRs) are versatile synthetic intermediates for creating functional nitrogen-containing molecules. Herein, a photosensitized β-sulfonylamination of terminal alkynes as well as acetylene has been established by employing -sulfonyl heteroaromatics as bifunctional reagents (BFRs) to efficiently deliver versatile ()-β-sulfonylvinylamines with excellent regio- and stereoselectivities. Mechanistic studies suggest a base-accelerated energy transfer (EnT) photocatalysis involving aromatic NCR formation, radical addition to alkynes, and sulfonylation processes.

Sulfonyl chlorides not only play a crucial role in protecting group chemistry but also are important starting materials in the synthesis of sulfonamides, which are in-demand motifs in drug discovery chemistry. Despite their importance, the number of different synthetic approaches to sulfonyl chlorides is limited, and most of them rely on traditional oxidative chlorination chemistry from thiol precursors. In this report, we disclose a novel Sandmeyer-type sulfonyl chloride synthesis from feedstock anilines and DABSO, used as a stable SO surrogate, in the presence of HCl and a Cu catalyst.

Herein, BPC catalyzed visible-light-triggered target-specific late-stage solution phase desulfonylation from tryptophan in oligopeptides is portrayed by overcoming the isolation issue up to octamers. This robust and mild method is highly predictable and chemoselective, tolerating myriad of functional groups in aza-heteroaromatics and peptides. Interestingly, reductive desulfonylation is also amenable to biologically significant reactive histidine and tyrosine side chains, signifying the versatility of the strategy.
