Published: December 2021

A carbon-supported copper nanoparticle (Cu-NP) with high catalytic activity for the synthesis of diaryl sulfones is reported. For the first time, this Cu-NP is proved to be able to effectively promote the reaction of arylboronic acids and arylsulfonyl hydrazides to generate diaryl sulfones at room temperature. The reaction shows excellent substrate universality, and substrates with different substituents can undergo the reaction smoothly, leading to the desired products in good yields. The Cu-NP is found to be made of low valence Cu based on XRD. Hence, the reaction catalyzed by the Cu-NP is believed to involve a Cu-mediated organometallic cycle.

We report the synthesis of six-membered saturated and unsaturated 1,4-oxasulfone derivatives rongalite-mediated intermolecular double sulfination of α-bromoacetophenone. This was followed by Bi(OTf)-catalyzed intramolecular condensation of 1,3-diaroylsulfones under open-vessel conditions. Furthermore, the chemical structures of the key products were determined through single-crystal X-ray analyses.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental pollutants that have been used for various purposes. Although PFAS can pollute the environment in a variety of areas related to the use, storage, and disposal of their products, there are insufficient data on the extent of PFAS pollution outside industrialized countries with their manufacturing facilities. Most of the analyses depend on high-cost liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

The one-pot synthesis of diphenylacetylene by the reaction of methyl benzoate with 1-(benzylsulfonyl)-3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)benzene was developed. The combination of LiN(SiMe) and KN(SiMe) is key to promoting the reaction. Simply combining methyl benzoate, 1-(benzylsulfonyl)-3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)benzene, LiN(SiMe), and KN(SiMe) can produce a variety of diaryl acetylenes (28 examples, 18-70% yields).

A synthetic method of tertiary alcohols was developed based on the formal umpolung addition of aryl ketones with electrophiles utilizing the [1,2]-phospha-Brook rearrangement under Brønsted base catalysis. The addition reaction of α-hydroxyphosphonates, derived from alkyl aryl- and diaryl ketones, with electrophiles such as phenyl vinyl sulfone, afforded phosphates having a tertiary alkyl group, which were readily convertible to the corresponding tertiary benzylic alcohols. This operationally simple protocol provides efficient complementary access to tertiary alcohols that are difficult to synthesize by conventional methods.
